a version of nighttime
A HariPo freeverse piece
by mew-tsubaki
Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. An idea I had, to do a blackout poem from my HarryPadma freeverse, "light reading," but I had to cut out what was "blacked out" because of the site's formatting restrictions. *sigh* Except this is a Remus/Sirius FV :] Read, review, and enjoy!
oOoOoOo
"i like
an innocent
moonlight
in the world
…
"me, too"
oOoOoOo
the night is
from above
light won't
calm the dark
they both
wait for night to fall
oOoOoOo
—the sound of
looking for something good,
a cure for stress
looking for something good,
a cure for being
turned
oOoOoOo
they reach at once
"i want that"
a smile brightens his brooding face
brows arch
relent
be the one here, after all
oOoOoOo
his friend
likes to escape sometimes
for
the wrong
he wonders about himself, too
…clever…
…angry…
…dark…
"no, not dark"
hope
oOoOoOo
one thing
of old
but nevertheless
one thing
he wishes the outside world
is simpler
oOoOoOo
eyes wander
pretty
and he hurts
a twinge
a stab
lost beat of heart
oh.
so this is like
oOoOoOo
and
one into another
and he's right
but always believe
someone like him, someone who
would like to be
the hero
believes he's got a right
oOoOoOo
he feels it
a little
he'd like to smile more
laugh more
debate more
in his face
he's a lot more than he realizes
ah, yes…he is…
a flame
his favorite
oOoOoOo
though his eyes drift elsewhere
he doesn't give up hope
he feels for him when
he relies on chance once more,
a chance
oOoOoOo
"i like night"
he tells
nods and pauses and can't focus
sits and sighs and can't bear it
to have been so dumb and blind for so long
words catch
feelings
emotions
thoughts
…
"me, too"
oOoOoOo
they think it answers
another quest.
oOoOoOo
I had a classmate who was surprised to learn I wrote so many freeverses, and I was equally surprised she did blackout poems, which I liked but hadn't before done myself. Until now. Though, again, it seems strange because FFN's formatting doesn't allow for actual blacked-out words. Anyway, the subtle Remus and Sirius… Ahh. -w- Angsty romance for them is sooo good.
Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: Ah, yes. I really was inspired a lot by black-out poems for this… Though I'm tempted to make screenshots of the blacked-out version to post to AO3 and to tumblr, I think I'll leave it as-is, unless anyone's curious. :)
