Free-Style Sonnets

Um, hey, this is Emalyzah from This Dreamland. Butterfly Sea is a one-shot dedicated to Roxas and Cho from Organization XIII. And, um, R&R!

Made with 3 quatrents and 1 couplet. 10 syllables per line.

Influenced and inspired by "Simple and Clean" by Utada Hikaru


Under the moonlight was the raven bird

Like the moons, its silver orbs were shining

Where wrong fears and blind rage is given birth

Like the stars, its claws beamed through the abyss

-

Unlike the small bird of the golden day...

The yellow bird was light flying with suns

Like the suns its golden orbs were glowing

Its slick beak will make thousand winds of flames

-

'Tis raven can read thousand waves of sea

Both birds are day and night like push and pull

Up and down like sky and sea like yin-yang

The world's kings, not be heard or seen but felt

-

That nothing is whole and nothing's broken

Each a passion to a being of heart


"I need to know who I am!"

"Roxas, listen. You are who you are!"

"Nobody knows me better than I do..."

"Let him go, Cho."

"Y-you can't just give up and leave!"

"Nobody would miss me."

"You are Nobody and a Nobody is incapable of any feelings, especially love."

"Don't listen to him. If you want something, go get it. One of life's little rules."

"I would..."

"This is The World That Never Was. Got it memorized?"

"I'm not leaving him."

"Don't be surprised if one day you wake up and I'm not there..."


Sonnet 11/23/06

My heart's a battleground, tainted twilight

My mind's an empty abyss of false thoughts

So which my soul is cold and numb of blood

And so I'm blind, like silver-eyed serpents

-

I envy the purity of daybreak

They glow red-warm colors at dew-y dawn

Willing thousand winds across home with love

Their hearts like fire, warmth unknown to me

-

But I am the dark and shadow-y night

The star's toy, taunting me with their beauty

I glow a dull light like October moons

The raven my brother, the dead's sorrow

-

So I'm but a selfish and shallow child

A clueless girl who only desires wealth
