Hello all! Here's a poem I wrote for the poetry contest on Neopets. And it didn't win :( Gee, I wonder why? Maybe their policy of quietly eliminating everything relating to homosexuality had something to do with it. Anyway, I'm not bitter. Because it's on Aqua's homepage. And I can post it freely here ^.^ Enjoy, everybody.

Another perspective (Aqua's desire)

By: Gabriel-San

Beauty and sweetness

And shadow combined,

Endlessly hovering

Over my mind.

Come to me, darling,

And I promise true

For all of my lifetime

I will love you.

Caress me with darkness,

I'll show you the light.

Tell me what's wrong,

I'll make it all right.

Give me a moment,

I'll give you my life.

Give me the chance,

I'll be your dear wife.

Everyone fears you,

But it's you I adore.

They all see a monster,

But I see more.

A woman of substance,

More than shadow and rage,

Character that's vibrant,

Not flat like a page.

There's more to you

Than any can know.

Perhaps they need proof,

And it's I who can show.

And one day when they see you,

Held up from the dark,

Then we may hold hands

And kiss in the park.

But until that day,

I must whimper and pine,

And dream my sweet dream,

Of when you will be mine.

Dearest Shadow Usul,

Hear my plea:

Leave the darkness,

And live with me.
