Me here, back with another poem! This is based on Sarina Fannel's 'Don't Think of Me,' and it fits its sequel, 'Carousel of Silence' almost to a T! But I still think its sweet, even if you haven't read the fics. Actually, I had a tune in mind all though supper, and I was pretty sure it was inspiration, so here ya go...!

oh, BTW, the tune I was humming fit perfectly with the 'Lovers dream' stanza... and then it got freaky when I listened to a song and started humming again... and that's the first two lines of the ""I love you," it seems so far" thing...

Then, I started brainstorming, and here ya go- the whole 16 stanza thing (not including the last line) which is longest honker I've ever wrote!

enjoy...

Disclaimer: I don't own YuGiOh! or the story "Carousel of Silence: Don't Think of Me II," by Sarina Fannel. *crickets chirp* ah hell... I just hafta own claim to something: I own the poem and Sarina Fannel's current outbreak of good spelling! ^^;;

*~*~*

Catch a piece of joy,
Give it up; I'm not some toy,
You used to be such an innocent boy;
My lover, my light, my koi.

"I love you," it seems so far,
Help me spot the morning star,[1]
Reminisce on the soul you are-
Help me make it through the mar...

Lovers dream, lit by light,
Under the moon in the middle of the night,
Hold on to me; hold on tight,
Look at me, you're a beautiful sight.

Don't leave me in your past behind,
For long yearning months I have pined,
In utter dismay, rampage so blind,
I've longed for your smile so kind.

Come with me, lover so grand,
Follow me to the delightful land,
Come with me, take my hand,
I'm in the starlight, here I stand.

Pave the way to a romance story,
Make tragedy an unheard category,
Make the way to emotional glory,
Free me of my infinite worry.

Come to me, don't be afraid,
Don't you realize the price I've paid?
Why does it always rain on our parade?
On my head, dark feelings cascade.

In the darkness, don't you dare stray,
Then more than me will you betray;
All this pain, can't you delay?
Don't leave me, why can't you stay?

Don't have our love as the thing you diss,
Can't you see that's the thing I miss?
"I hate you," that's the thing you hiss,
But just love me once, and I'll be in bliss.

My emotions plague, every one sad,
And to think once you made me glad;
Can't you think of the times we had-
Way before you suddenly turned bad.

Ever since that untrue quarrel,
Life has been a living hell.
I didn't mean what I did yell,
Into misery, that's where I fell.

In my lap, I wish your head would lay,
I believe that is where you should stay,
Your face seems to shine with an innocent ray,
I've told a lie, and now I shall pay.

The way I feel, now I can't deny,
Fear has had its endless supply,
This is where darkness and light tie,
Let me reach you before you say bye.

Emotions of mine will endlessly clash,
World of love, or worthless trash?
My impatience and worry is growing in a cache,
Seemingly, it's like hell I did dash.

Were my words ever so dire-
Were they they ones that changed your attire?
I know I'm such a cruel lyer,
Maybe I do deserve hell's fire.

But don't believe that I love she.
Has my love been tossed for he-
Toss me away to the endless sea?
Please don't leave me...

And I'll be waiting.

[1] 'The Morning Star' is a nickname given to Venus, since it shines brightly during the day. I thought it fit perfectly since Venus is the Roman god of Love ^^;;
