A/N: Heeeeeeeey ! I have returned with both my first published poem-fic, AND my first Furuba fic! GAH I LOVE FURUBA… The sheer over-the-topness of my fangirling often scares people (including me). Natsuki Takaya is an amazing manga-ka. So without further ado, my first FF poem; this one's from Kyo's point of view. Expect more in the near future. (Poetry, I mean, not necessarily Kyoru.)
Please regard me kindly! (:
DISCLAIMER: Furuba is property of my Manga-ka idol Natsuki Takaya, and sadly not me. Gah, I wish I was a good artist.
The Beast and His Flower
Anger!
Based on centuries of ostracization,
A relentless rage
That I cannot control…
"It wasn't me!" I cry,
As the crowds spread rumours in a hushed tone,
Alone I stand,
In a world convinced I've sinned.
"You truly are a monster," he states,
Sat high on his godly throne,
"A beast that steals, tramples,
An existence built on blood and sacrifice."
His words cut deep,
Leaving lasting wounds and scars,
But I'm powerless to stop him –
Our bond is blood, his word is law!
Time and time again,
He reminds me of my role;
A laughing stock.
Pitied.
Hated.
Alone.
But just when I'm ready to give up hope…
She appears,
Walks into the hell that is my life!
With each of her smiles I see a new beginning,
A future free from pain.
The cracks begin to smooth,
The wounds begin to heal,
Somehow, her presence creates serenity,
A peace and warmth I've never felt.
A first I felt as if drowning,
Afraid to embrace the future…
Afraid to bury the past.
I lash out like a stubborn child,
Let out my hate and grief,
Yet she accepts me regardless,
Seeing only the good inside.
I don't want to admit it,
But I can't deny it either -
She's my saviour.
I am the beast,
And she is the flower…
Tohru, the flower of my aching heart.
A/N: Sooo… how'd you like it? I want to hear your thoughts, guys, so I know how to improve for Poem Number Two! Remember, the review button hearts you! (: (No seriously, I lack confidence and would love to know what you think, for better or worse.)
Subeteno daisuki! Sayounara! :D (I believe that's how it's said, anyway… Don't rely on my crappy Japanese skills. Hehe.)
