Immortal
Some want to be immortal
but they do not know the consequences.
Such a life is lived alone
as though you are defenseless.
A deeper look shows that evil knows
just what they're asking for;
They have no friends that they would miss-
they care about making terror more.
The good and true, both pure of heart,
know not to wish for this.
They wouldn't have a need for it,
for mortal friends they'd miss.
It's best to leave it 'til after life,
for eternity's forever, infinite;
Take it from one who's cursed to walk
'tween life and death, not in it.
Shadow: Ah, the classic immortal theme. Angst all the way! Yes guys, this is a carrot. A peace carrot. We're still alive, see, but pretty busy. Since one of us is about to graduate college and the other one of us is about to graduate high school, we're kinda pressed to be as good as we can be. If you'd like to see more poetry (among other things) from this pair of hooligans, do check out my DeviantArt. It's at haiku-san dot deviantart dot com. Shameless plugging, I know. We are undeserving. Sorry for the long silence. Unfortunately Yan and I haven't been able to write as much as we like. Through the Fire is really Yan's brainchild - I just tweak it, and inspiration has been hard in coming. However, all the current chapters of Through the Fire have since been digitally remastered and re-edited. Feel free to re-read them.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving from the both of us!
