Turtlequeen2: This is the first time in a long time that I've written an Inuyasha-related poem.

This is Sesshoumaru/Kagura related so I hope you enjoy it!

I do not own Inuyasha! Only Rumiko Takahashi has that honor!


The Taste of Freedom

Bloodied wrists

Bruised lips

The liquid copper trails down my chin

This is the taste of torture


Wind blades flying

The spider scar that never fades away

Chains that bind me

Flames that lick at my kimono

This is the taste of Hell


Golden eyes

Flowing silver hair

A blue moon with familiar magenta stripes

A cold expression that looks up to the moon

This is the taste of beauty


Poison whips and claws

A blue dragon striking

Narrowed eyes of ice

Sudden bursts of speed and intelligence

This is the taste of power


Traveling with companions

Never having to settle down in any one place

A wanderer who never questions his worth

A killer who does not hesitate before striking

This is the taste of freedom


This taste of freedom I long for

It draws me to him

He has the substance I desire

And yet, I cannot grasp it

I keep chasing and it evades me

I will keep pursuing my taste of freedom until I die


A/N: I hope you all enjoyed it! Please review!

This is, I suppose, my venture back onto this site after a long absence. I'm not dead yet!

Ja ne!
