The 12th chapter of "A Flower's Smile" and this time it something special, too! A poem. =)

Warnings: Story will be rated T for mentioning of character death, violence and occasional cussing.

Charcoal crackling

Finally, Jaken sits down

Flame flaring

He begins the tale

Crickets chirring

Of our glorious master

Fantasies fostering

Of the kingdom to come.

Cawing are the crows

A sudden pang

I feel within

Freezing are the fingers

Connected to the chamber

Beating in my chest

Reminding me of what is real

Death

Not for him

But for me.

Never a glimpse

Of royal glory

When he will claim

The throne

He's been searching for

All this years

When I am already gone

Not a trace of me left.

As I watch Jaken

Pain besmirching my vision

I can only wish

To be in his place

At Lord Sesshomaru's side

All this years

I will spend with him

All for death's enjoyment

And yet

All this years

My life

Not for me

But for him.
