*Disclaimer: Ayashi no Ceres does not belong to me.

Author's Note: A poem reflecting Shiso's thoughts on Ceres. For some reason, this poem just came to me on a Monday night at 10:30 PM (while I was trying to sleep). *Sigh* My muse must be really out if it…

Misunderstood

By: RaspberryGirl

Long flowing hair

Black as a raven's wing

Translucent, golden eyes

Now cold and unpitying.

My heart pounds against my chest

When I think about you.

I want to feel your touch

Your skin against mine

Your lips against mine

Your eyes on my eyes

Our souls as one.

Why can't you understand

This love that I feel?

Why don't you share my desire, my pain?

Because you are a daughter of Heaven?

Ethereal, divine

Heart of ice, emotions of stone

And I, but a son of Earth

A mere mortal.

But don't you remember

The happy days we shared?

When I held you safe in my arms?

Perhaps I had been wrong

To take the hagoromo

Robe of white feathers

Key to the sky

Perhaps I had been wrong

To think you would love me…

Many men want to make you theirs

But none will succeed

None will triumph

As long as I am here

I won't give up without a fight

And I will win you back…

…Ceres.

Author's Note: My first Ayashi no Ceres "fic." Not to mention my first shot at free-verse poems. Constructive criticism welcome.
