Hello dear people, how're you? Once again, I'm back, this time with a poem on RayXSalima. Actually, yes, it's my first poem written on this pairing. Yesterday, I was talking to Golden Glow of Amber aka Ellie, my soul-sister and got the plot from a few words of her :P. So, in a sense, you can say that Ellie inspired me to write this piece as well as to post it. That's why, before starting, I wanna thank her. Thank you so much, Ellie! :D
I thought that there were 50 RaySals in this site, until my misunderstanding broke. The app was showing 50 but the site was showing 49. When I checked the app and counted, I found that one of those 50 fics is a Crossover with another fandom which wasn't shown in the site. So, I thought, "Why not to remove all the misunderstandings and fulfill the half-century for RayXSalima?" From the same urge, here, the poem remains.
Pairing: RayXSalima and slight KaneXSalima. Written from the P.O.V of the narrator, Ray and Salima.
I hope you all will enjoy it :)
Narrator
The woods were lovely, dark and deep,
Bathed in the ink, slippery, escaping from the grip.
Fireflies ceased to ignite to erase the murk,
Yet, there, the raven-haired guy decided to lurk.
Unheard his footsteps were, silent as the dead,
Beryl pupils were dimmed, bare feet trampled the blades.
No, the soft blades of grasses. Yet, his heart bled,
After all, from his shrine, his worshipped Goddess fled,
A worthless priest he was; he could feel.
Now, when she wasn't there, before whom would he kneel?
When he was thinking this, reverberation rose in silence,
Just like the heartbeats of the unconscious-but he couldn't guess.
Who came there? To know, as he turned his head,
His surprised eyes caught the woman whose hair was red.
Kohled eyes blacker than the ebony, she's coming to him,
With an emotionless face, with no zeal and gleam.
Ray
Mrs. Yamashita! What brings you here at this hour of night?
You belong to someone else now, for you, it's not right.
What if someone sees you here now, with me?
Ink will smear your face, it won't be a good thing, you see.
Salima
At first, it's not Mrs. Yamashita. Still, I haven't got married,
The field of my amour is still a desert, still, it's arid.
Ever-independent, carefree I am, I don't mind people's words,
My heart is a hard piece of rock if they are swords.
Ray
In this world, who knows it better than Ray Kon?
Anyways, why have you come here, secret and alone?
Oh yes…tomorrow, you're getting the hand of your prince?
The righteous gushes of rain, who will wash away your sins?
You may have come here to give me the invitation,
On me, to create, "I-still-care-for-you" impression?
Or…to severe my scarred heart for once again?
Insulting me before the silence, what would you again?
Salima
Misunderstanding you are, Ray,
I'm not here to be the reason of your dismay,
If someone is insulted, it's not you. Rather, it's me,
People call me disgraced, with them, I also agree.
Yet, not fearing the humiliations, I came to meet you,
For one last time, what your heart has for me, to know.
Ray
Disgrace it isn't, rather, love is kohl,
Day by day, tinting our bodies, minds and souls,
Always, in the shades of black and pitch gray,
Then why would you be the reason of my dismay?
I don't have any hope from you,
Nor any wish, that can come true.
Maybe, this is the relation between a Goddess and her devotee,
One-sided, painful, yet-filled with absolute euphoria and glee.
Even in my pain of separation, there's hidden contentment,
I'm proud that I truly loved you, that's my achievement.
Salima
I couldn't bind you forever, yet, I can't.
Neither you spoke, nor did I understand.
Why did you remain silent when I handed myself to Kane?
Why did you let the moon in the dark sky wane?
No, no, I'm happy and proud that I've chosen my own husband,
Satisfied and blessed to dedicate him my hands.
From now onwards, my head will remain on his chest,
Because for me, of all the husbands, he's the best.
Ray
You don't need to be mine. Of course, you can be his.
But when I remember I'm yours, it gives me bliss,
Goddess doesn't belong to a devotee, she is the world's,
But devotee is devoted to her, his feelings cannot be described in words.
Someone else will take care of you and your sanctuary,
Yet, I don't feel jealous of him because it is his victory.
Maybe, he deserves you more than I do,
But know that for you, my love and devotion is true.
A devotee cannot envy others, he can only penance,
Otherwise, to his own existence, his audacity becomes a menace.
Salima
Blessed and revered you are, Ray! My love is cherished,
May you get showered with the petals of pink roses, it's my wish.
Yet, people may throw ink at us, considering our love forbidden,
Thinking that our love is sinful, we will always remain guilt-ridden.
Like a bomb is created to be destroyed, we unite only to be separated,
From each other. Yet, to get each other, we hardly get desperate.
I wonder…if we aren't meant to end together, why did you love me?
What special could you discover in this bottomless pit of mystery?
Ray
Wrong you are, my lady. The bird doesn't reside in the sky,
Yet, the sky is its love, giving it the freedom to fly,
I won't mind. With yours, you can join his name,
In this world, which is endless, doesn't need to be endgame.
Yet, if you want, we'll remain together forever,
In the form of light and shadow, in the form of fullness and ether.
Maybe, being the black kohl, mesmerizing any maiden's eyes,
Melting on her cheeks with her tears when she cries,
Remembering us as a Goddess and her ardent devotee,
Even knowing our truths, she'll adore us together, wholeheartedly.
*Sighs* Only they knew that the maiden was so crazy...:P
Anyways, how was it, dear? This was my first poem on RayXSalima, you can say that I love to write poems, it's really been a while since I wrote one. I hope you all have liked it. Once again, thanks for appreciating and encouraging me to post it, Ellie. Jiji loves you to no end *Hugs* See, she has clarified all the confusions and yes, in both senses, I wrote the 50th RaySal in :D
Do read and review. Pardon the grammatical and spelling errors. Take care and stay safe :D
