The Closest Things to Saying "I love You" -a Naruto fan poem by Calliope-

Message: I was never much of a poet, so I suppose this is as close to poetry as it gets for me. I hope you like it. It's more or less free verse, after all I'm not nearly brilliant enough to do something in a Sonnet or Villanelle form. (but perhaps some time I'll give it a try. We'll just wait and see how this goes over. ^__^)

Summery: A short poem about the deeper relationship between Naruto and Sasuke. Warning: implied sasunaru

Though of two bodies and two minds, They are of one heart.

Though of two lives and two fates, They are of one spirit.

Though still not quite at the realization, They both still somehow seem to tell.

As complete an opposite as one could find, The Dark Avenger and the Radiant Idiot.

Yet still somehow they are as one, Of one spirit and one heart.

With goals that may seem as dissimilar as the skies, Truly they are just two rewordings.

A quiet warrior, formidable and fearless, And a raging youth, still equally so.

Somehow within their differences, They see that there in lies the truth.

For two who seem so unable to relate, The truth is really there's just nothing to say.

For what can two souls, So equally intertwined, Really have to say to one another?

For fear, Of pain.

For fear, Of rejection.

For fear, Of reality.

For fear, Of themselves.

A spiteful glare, An angry word.

An exchange of blows, And a battle of wills.
