A daughter of the water
A son of the sun
One leading destiny
One living shunned
0
War raging forth
In all corners of the earth
Only the innocent able
To partake in true mirth
0
She leads the world's hope
Teaching art along the way
He chases a boy
Living life alone, so far astray
0
Changes in character
Growth in places unseen
Evil blossoms good
Whatever that could mean
0
Save her from the pirates
He won't hurt you
A glimpse in the eyes
Did the other see it too?
0
She's with the Avatar
Isn't that right?
He with a noble's daughter
How their conflicted feelings fight
0
They are supposed to be with their chosen
Living not of their own accord
But oh how this desire festers
It's very presence like a reward
0
Ba Sing Se
A tea shop in the lower ring
"Let's explore," she says to her blind friend,
"Who knows what it might bring?"
0
A stop in her tracks
No, it can't be
That unruly eye
The one that can scare see
0
He serves per usual
Earning his wage
Not paying notice
To the customers his uncle does engage
0
"Welcome to the Jasmine Dragon!"
His uncle, no doubt
Her friend is ecstatic
Pure joy as he leads them throughout
0
That voice, so familiar
No, it can't be
His blue0eyed desire
So close, so free
0
He's looking
Will she return the favor?
And gaze into those golden orbs
Of which belonged to her former savior
0
"Nephew, serve these ladies."
He walks over, eyes down this time
Just missing hers longing for his,
Full of sublime
0
He serves
Then leaves
She drinks
Then grieves
0
They leave a tip
Walk out the door
She drags her feet
Feeling heavier than before
0
He watches her go
Sadness tugging at his heart
Replaying that day
Of which they did part
0
She and her friend
Go back home
Feeling lost more than ever
And oh so alone
0
Crossroads of Destiny
Something has changed
What is this feeling?
Has this moment always been prearranged?
0
They stand alone
Gazing into the other's eyes
Full of yearning
They both try to be deny
0
She wants him
So badly it hurts
He sees her as an equal
But he's not a convert
0
Her "lover" is nice
Sweet, kind, and innocent
The boy loves her so
And thinks her magnificent
0
So why doesn't she reciprocate?
Why does the scarred man in front of her
Remain forever in her mind?
Making her question what they were
0
His broken face
So beautiful to her lenses
His ambition
Pushing past her defenses
0
She knows it's wrong
He's the enemy, right?
Then why, oh why
Does he seem so bright?
0
He's not like the others
That much she knows
Their hearts both beat
Louder than the caw of crows
0
But she won't say anything
No matter how her heart sways
It's not like the prince
Could feel the same about her, anyway
0
He drowns in the blue
So evident in her eyes
They make him feel
More alive than the sunrise
0
She's passionate
And powerful
But his chasing
Is oh so hurtful
0
She's touching his face
Like no one has before
Speaking with such grace
He wants more
0
She's cool
Like the ocean
And always moves
With such fluid motion
0
He's a banished prince
She ought to deserve better
But she's been stuck in his mind
Ever since he met her
0
No one makes him feel
The way she does
Now they're all alone
Iis this love?
0
She can't feel the same
Not with the Avatar around
So he'll keep quiet
Crying for her on the ground
0
A crash in the wall
Prince, make a choice
He chooses corruption
How harsh the once0gentle voice
0
Drifting apart
In location and mind
Both confused
Of what they did find
0
He gazes at the opening
Of which his better half did leave
His heart now in half
Already beginning to grieve
0
She returns to her friends
Her heart giving up
Willing tears not to fall
Emotions overwhelming her like a dying seal pup
0
Future encounters
Cut deeper into their soul
But they plaster a smile
Feeling like coal
0
0
0
The war is over
Everyone's relieved
What happens now?
With the love their hearts both believe
0
A small celebration
For the heroes of the war
Set in the fire palace
All of them happy with what they fought for
0
The Avatar asks
For a moment alone
She follows obligingly
Giving her joy as a loan
0
On her way out to the terrace
She sneaks a glance
He's looking too
She tells herself it was happenstance
0
The Avatar is grinning
After a stolen kiss
She attempts a smile
Not at all feeling bliss
0
She'll pretend though
For the savior of the nations
Living her life
As the Avatar's salvation
0
She walks back inside
Insisting they should be with everyone
It's all too much for her
But she'll never stop being done
0
He watched her leave
Wondering why she looked his way
When his girlfriend came near
Putting a rare smile on display
0
The knife0wielder pulls him into a room
Capturing him in an embrace
He returns it as best he can
Feeling oh so out of place
0
But the serene girl has been good to him
So he whispers kind words
Thankful for the hug
So there's no sight of his shed tear
0
The feelings have been evident
Since they were little
But how can he break his girlfriend's heart?
When his own is so brittle
0
"Let's head back," he insists
His girlfriend doesn't argue
He walks back to everyone
His own little crew
0
A toast is raised
He fights to not look her way
She raises her glass
Willing her eyes to stay
0
The Avatar smiles at her once again
His girlfriend gives a quirk of an eyebrow
They return the affection as well as possible
Too tired to do anything else now
0
Time passes
Everyone goes to bed
She's in a room with the asleep Avatar
Thoughts swirling around her head
0
He sits on the left
His girlfriend asleep on the right
Not able to close his eyes
With his affection bound so tight
0
They both wonder
What this feeling is called
That lights their souls on fire
That makes them so enthralled
0
But how do you do that?
How does one tell another
That every interaction feels more valuable
Than time with thy own mother?
0
He thinks of the Avatar
The "savior" of humanity
The little boy
Stealing his sanity
0
She thinks of his girlfriend
A turned knife0wielder
The indifferent woman,
Her heart's stealer
0
They won't tell anyone
For fear of the worst
Both too committed
Of putting others first
0
And so they lived
Forever part broken
All thanks due
To the words unspoken
