Valkyrie Profile: Poetry in Motion

by Kazie Solo

Lucian and Lenneth's story, set in poetry form. Begins with the Prologue and hopefully will stretch until the last scene in Ending A. If I get myself in gear to write more poems. x_x

2. Mirror of His Past

Valkyrie Profile: Poetry in Motion
Part II - Mirror of His Past

Many years after Platina's death,
Lucian, though devastated, still drew breath.
He lived in Gerabellum with beggars and thieves,
Their life in the slums were like withering leaves.

He had a new friend, her name was Claire,
She had a kind heart which was so rare.
But though she loved him, he couldn't love her back,
He wanted Platina --- his Platina his life lacked.

He came home one day to see a guest,
A beautiful stranger their home was blest.
He was told that Claire threw a rock at her,
Meril, a name he'd very well remember.

He approached her to apologize, but what he saw was a shock,
His memories, his past --- were those what the gods were trying to mock?
Meril, the stranger, stood there in all her glory,
The spinning image of Platina, the heroine of his story.

He was asked what was wrong, he said it was nothing,
But again he longed for Platina, his love, more than anything,
Meril, a stranger --- was to look at her like this wrong?
She was the mirror of his past, and the echo of his song.

Author's Note: I really REALLY love the Lucian/Lenneth pairing, although I think Lezard is also pretty cool. Anyway, I hope you liked this installment, because I had fun writing it. Especially the "gods were trying to mock" part. I don't know, I just... liked it. Oh, and I hate Claire. She is such a wimp. ^^;
