Murasaki Cascade
Twin violet tresses cascade like waterfalls
Coursing through my world
A temper burning hotter than the sun
A sweetness everlasting
Demure smile flashing shy love's desire
Searcher for her love
Discoverer of heartbreak
Tear-streaked face
Witness of destruction
Soothe her sorrow with the hope of love
Sister-Protector
Nightmare comforter
Guardian of a young child goddess
Soul of courage
Bearer of duty's mountain
Possessor of indomitable strength
Wielder of power beyond mortal ken
Beneath the power. . .
Beneath the crown. . .
Beats the heart of a girl
Who wants only love
Dreamer of Heaven & Earth
Take solace in your love
And pray that dreams come true.
Author's Notes: This poem is a work in progress, which may never be completed. This is currently version 3.0 of this poem, with only modest changes from version 2.0, which is viewable in the miscellaneous section of the TMFFA, and was fortunate enough to have received the award for Best Songfic/Poem of the Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction Awards. The formatting for this fic has proven difficult to properly place on ff.net; the sole reason for the double spacing is to achieve the intended line flow.
There's a story of how this OVA-based poem came about. Late one night, many months ago, I was reading through the AFC Message Board. Davner proposed a poetry contest, and started things off by introducing a new beatnik poet, Dawner, whose free verse poetry recital was interrupted by a rather miffed Juraian princess.
It was at that point that my muse decided to come calling, resulting in the first version of this poem, as told by another beatnik poet named Beagle-nik. ^_^
So, if you liked it, thank Davner for the inspiration. If you didn't, the fault is none but mine.
And for those who don't know, "murasaki" means "purple" in Japanese.
