***********************************************************************************

Storm:

His golden eyes

Saw

Right through

Me

All the pain

Hurt

Malice

Anger

He saw right

Through me

And took me

As I am

Lady Deathstryke:

He was my

Constant

Companion

Not physically

But mentally.

We shared a wall

In our cells

At night

He would talk

About the circus

And his family

And I would

Tell him

How my

Father

Invented

The recipe

For my

Metal bones

And

Deadly claws

Wolverine:

He's such a

Coward.

Why doesn't he

Tell Storm

About

How he

Feels?

We all know

Except

Her.

Rogue:

Logan thinks

He's

A coward.

But he risked

His life

To save

Me

Iceman:

He's a

Hero

Risked his life

For a girl he'd

Just met.

Now that's

Courage.

Jubilee:

When I first saw him

I was afraid.

My mind

Raced

Back to

All of Gramma's

Stories

Of ancient demons

And evil gods

But then he

Got us out

Of that

Stinky

Awful

Dirty

Prison cell

That the soldiers

Had put us in

And then I realized:

Gramma was senile

At age

60

Stryker:

Strong.

Elusive.

A teleporter.

And with my serum

He could be

The perfect

Soldier.

Beast:

Storm told me

About him

Blue-skinned

Just like me

Minus

The fur.

Angel:

And I thought I had

An unfortunate

Mutation.

Mystique:

When I saw him

I couldn't believe

That he'd

Have an

Accent

Or scars.

Or be an

Acrobat

A Christian

I thought he'd be

Angry

Hurt

And seeking revenge;

Just like

His

Dear

Old

Mom.

Magneto:

When I heard

His voice

My mind

Took me

Back

To Poland

1944

The concentration camp

The German soldiers

Just

Following

Orders.
