The Light
On 3.6.05 as the poetry form of a triolet
Touya…
In the name of honor,
I reach for the light.
I battle with passion and valor.
In the name of honor,
even though I'm cold like ice,
I don't want the dark any longer.
In the name of honor,
I reach for the light!

The Wind's Call
On 3.6.05 in the form of a tanka
Jin…
Finest element
of unpredictable might
A destructive force
yet gentle on a clear day
and so this is the Wind's call

I'm Still in Love with You
On 3.6.05
One-sided ToguroxGenkai…
On the brink of death, here I lie,
with thoughts only of you, Genkai.
Many sins stain my heart,
but the one I'll regret most
is choosing power and the dark
over you so very long ago.
If you could,
would you ever forgive me?
I don't think you would,
but I understand because I see.
I hate myself for dying with the truth
that I'm still in love with you…
.-.
Let Go
On 3.10.05 as the poetry form of a cinquain
Genkai speaks of Toguro…
Forgive
those who wrong you,
or your life you'll regret…
shackled by your heart's heavy chains.
Let go.
.-.
Nowhere to Hide
On 3.16.05 as the poetry form of a triolet
Sniper…
I'll gun you down.
You've nowhere to hide.
Killing you without a sound,
I'll gun you down,
laughing while you die.
So I guess you're found.
I'll gun you down.
You've nowhere to hide.
