Yes, another piece of poetry-styled writing. I did this one a while ago,
its Kenshin speaking to Kaoru (and she don't know it of course) and my view
on how he feels and sees her as. I could be wrong, of course, but this is
fanfiction only. I own nothing but my own words. I made it vague for a
reason.
"Smile"---I know, so original, right? ^-^
I use to smile
Are these lips still bleeding?
Screaming those memories
Concealed within a chipped blade?
I'm not perfect
Not perfect enough to deserve you
To return the love
Your hand plays with softly
I'm kindled by your eyes
Lucent against the blossoms
Nestled sleepishly against your cheek
Safe from the ghosts swimming
In a dark nightmare, my past
Let me
Let me take in all of you
For what we are and what we could be
It doesn't really matter anymore to me
I'm open arms
Open, unguarded against your cautious touch
Exploring what you offer to share
I am no longer alone
Smile at me so I might smile back
Fall into me so I know
That your hair isn't just a midnight purple sky
Smooth and touchable and naked
But not sleek and cold as my sword
Or hard like my weathered heart
I dream of rotting flesh
Sliced by my silver blade capturing the stars
I see faces, many faces
Of endings, of beginnings, I can never tell
Yes, I've killed so many
Thousands in fact during my era
When humans were just other solids
And I was sharp waters cutting them down
But I woke up only to drift
Into another nightmare again
But here with you, in you, of you
This cloudy blood-rain fades and clears
And I savor the taste of good sake again
And I feel the relentless winds leading
The pink blossom rains, petals, its that season
That allows me to think of you
Remember you
Your passion, your sweetness and courage, your trust
And your meek, gentle heart
Welcoming me, waiting for me always
Like blankets on a cool autumn night
Or green tea in a lazy afternoon
With
You
You wait for me
So I'll come for you
I'll smile
Sake: Japanese drink
