Disclaimer- I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. *sob* I really wish I did though. If
someone would be kind enough to at least give me Kurama I'd be REALLY
happy!!! My birthday is coming up in March ya know. No? Oh well. I'll have
to settle for all the merchandise I can get my hands on then. Here's the
poem then. ^_^
Red Rose in the Darkness
A single rose,
Delicate, but strong,
Beautiful and pure,
Tainted with many wrongs.
This rose is gentle,
Lovely and kind,
But not everything is what it seems,
In this rose's mind.
For beneath the soft exterior,
Is something never shown,
A different personality,
Something completely unknown.
A deep enmity for others,
A strong longing to kill.
This gentle rose's other side,
Has a craving that needs to be fulfilled.
For many years this rose,
Had power over all.
Not caring for their feelings,
Needing to see them fall.
He killed,
He executed,
He put to death.
He slew,
He butchered,
He canceled.
He destroyed,
He slaughtered.
He killed, he stole,
And he lied,
Until the day,
He almost died.
On that day,
When he almost met his end,
He realized his horrible judgement,
And wanted to make amends.
He managed to survive,
And become this gentle rose.
As this rose he is kind,
Many things he knows.
He still is very powerful,
But his strength is used for good,
Still, people fear him.
This rose is misunderstood.
Now he has many friends,
For whom he must stay sweet.
But still he has deadly enemies,
Whom he'd rather not meet.
For now, he is cheerful,
Thoughtful, and full of bliss.
To make it short he's really just,
A red rose in the darkness.
Author's Notes- Okay, it sucked, I know. I wrote it for a poetry reading thingy at my library. It was originally for Kurama, but I'm not sure if it completely suits him. It kind of reminds me of Kenshin (from Rurouni Kenshin). What do you think? Please review!!! ^_^
