Veggie Soup #21: Dance With You (Kenyako #3)
By Carter Tachikawa
(This is another Kenyako! It's the third one, I know, and it's old. But I'm having writer's block and I need to put this up soon. It's a poem/songfic...if such a thing exists. And if not...I'm creating the first one! I don't own Digimon or the song "Dance With You" by Live. I do own the poem though. It, like the other one, switches between Ken and Yolei's POV. This is how the stanzas are divided: a song verse and then my poem. So every odd stanza is the song and the evens are my poem. Understand? In case you don't, here:
A verse with ~ at beginning and end means it's the song.
A verse with * at beginning and end means it's in Yolei's POV.
A verse with nothing at beginning and end means it's in Ken's POV.
With this, dear readers, I leave the simple note: Enjoy the poem and I'll have more stuff up soon. I still take requests)
~Sitting on the beach
The island king of love
Deep in Fijian seas
Deep in some blissful dream~
There she is
She dances into my dream once again
It's like every time I turn around...I see her
I want to get close but I can't
She despises me...I think
She's a goddess living on earth
To be with her, dance with her
Live with her...would make my life complete
~Where the goddess finally sleeps
In the lap of her lover
Subdued in all her rage
And I am aglow with the taste of the demons driven out
And happily replaced with the presence of real love
The only one who saves~
I don't know what attracts me to her
I feel like a bomb set to go off any minute
And when I explode, I'll reveal it all
I'll reveal the truth, my feelings kept hidden
From the one
She looks past me...or does she?
Maybe she is pretending not to care about me
When in reality...the only thing she sees is me
~I want to dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I want to dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face~
*There he is
Why am I attracted to him?
He's no different from me
How could I feel for someone with no heart?
With no love or sorrow or joy
I do not understand
He asks me to dance whenever I dream
I want to refuse
Why don't I? *
~The stillness in you eyes convinces me that I
I don't know a thing and I've been around the world
And I, I've tasted all the wines
A half a billion times
Came sickened to your shores
You show me what this life is for~
*I grab his hand and we begin to move
He sways my body back and forth
As I melt slowly like butter in his arms
My head rests upon his shoulder
His cold shoulder
I close my eyes and try to wake up
As the wind blows through my hair
And I open my mouth to breathe*
~I want to dance with you
I've seen a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no taste
I want to dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face~
She's dancing with me
I can feel her arms wrapped tightly around me
She feels warm...but not sickly warm
We can feel the music run through our veins
My hands are sweating but I don't care
I have her.
I feel like I'm falling forever
And there's no end to the pit I'm falling into
~In this altered state
Full of some much pain and rage
You know we got to find a way to let it go~
*I'm dancing on the clouds
He's all I hoped that he'd be and then some
I look into those eyes...and I sink lower
I know this is love and no one can disagree with that
I raise myself off the ground so I can face him
Our lips touch for a minute then the kiss begins*
~Sitting on the beach
The island king of love
Deep in Fijian seas
Deep in the heart of it all
Where the goddess finally sleeps
After eons of war and lifetimes she's smiling
And free. Nothing left
But a cracking voice and a song of love~
Yes, this is it
I am now complete
This girl...she is everything to me
The songs play through my head
And even after they're over, I'm still dancing
I open my mouth to say something
Then my dream is broken...because I am awake
~I want to dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I want to dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face~
*Yes, it's only a dream
In reality, I don't know him
But the dance was nice while it lasted
What did he want to say to me there?
Why did I join the dance?
I still feel the coldness yet as we continued
He became warm
I wonder...
When will we dance again?
And will we ever dance out of our dream into reality? *
