Author's Notes: Egh. I was bored, and so I came up with some poetry dealing with Ken. I guess you can say it came from his point of view, and even if I don't do his genius justice, it's still nice enough to post. And since I'm a total Kensuke fanatic, it is not too hard to figure out who he's talking about. He also makes a faint reference to his future, do you see it?

"chocolate and summer"
original poetry by - Ichijouji Ken

my eyes are closed,
I can't draw in air,
my soul distraught,
but you still care.

my heart stopped half past nine again,
but yours is filling an irrepressible void,
for me, I no longer feel the pain,
from nothingness I once enjoyed.

I want to scream,
to blame it all on you,
it was your fault I changed,
I'm afraid of this life anew.

my tribulations are horrid,
each test of life I failed pathetically,
my heart now brittle, riddled with disuse,
the glass needs handled delicately.

I'd fall to the floor,
if you happened to not be,
may you never leave, you see
with you, my sanity's key

just look into my eyes,
what do you see?
the real me, the fake me,
or something else entirely?

you get past my defenses,
how, I still cannot discover,
with a grin, a chide, and whimsical note,
senses shriek for you forever.

I know it will not last, you see,
sometimes life deals such a hand,
fate is cruel, a mistress of dark,
and I'll always find faux crutches to stand.

I know that you will not always be there,
one day I'll shed the tears I must,
time and time again there I will cry,
your picture will be found in dust.

but for, right now,
I'm in love with you,
I don't care if you care,
in such a manner as I do.

just hold me, just break me,
love me, hurt me; I'll turn number,
breezes blowing, arms clinging tightly,
suit my tastes; you're chocolate and summer.
