-SY- *twitches*Im being unusally active...I literally put this together
five minutes ago!

-Alloran- Why in the world did you just randomly decide to do s'more
poetry?

-SY- I dunno. Maybe its because I'd love to duplicate the reactions I got
for my other poems. Maybe its because I needed something to celebrate the
arrival of your sister dropping in for a visit. Say hello, Faria!

-Faria- *waves shyly*

-SY- Or maybe its because fantasymichelle actually persuaded me to get my
butt in gear and do something productive.
OR MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I PASSED MY AS LEVELS!!!! IM SO HAPPY!

-Alloran- See? Everyone told you you'd do fine.^^

-SY- It was touch and go, though...still, parental forces must be happy. Im
still alive.^^ Sorry for being so hyper, people, but I really am over the
moon with my results!

-Faria- Im not surprised. You were terrified you'd fail for months!

-SY- I know. Either way, here it is, another poem! Feedback craved, flames
will be given to Dilandau so he has something to play with. Right, Dilly-
kun?

-Dilandau- *not paying attention at all* Huh? Yeah, right, whatever....

DISCLAIMER: I don't not own the show YuGiOh.Therefore, I don't own any of
the characters. If I did, there would be far more
interesting...'developments'....heh heh heh....I also don't own Escaflowne,
or Dilandau, mores the pity.

'My Mutt And I'

Everything you want, you get
Anything you like, its yours,
Anything for you, and yet
What you want's behind closed doors

Does he hear, does he care?
Does he even give a damn?
Does he even know you're there?
You wish, you want, you hope he can.

Time to go, he meets his friends,
He turns to leave, brushes your side
''Watch it, mutt!'' Harsh words, pretend
You don't know what you feel inside.

''Shut it, Kaiba!'' A bitter reply
Flung from lips you long to kiss.
You think 'I don't know why I try'
'Man, Cupid, when you shoot, you don't miss.'

But for all his graceless, handsome charms
The simple truth must soon be told
You want him, here, within your arms,
Face it, Seto, you're not so cold.

Damn the truth, and damn his hide
Damn his uncouth, charming way
You grab his arm, pull him aside
''Mutt, theres something I wanna say.''

''More insults, Kaiba?'' a cautious,wary tone
''Not right now, no.'' he thinks Im lying
''Joey, I...'' If he goes, and leaves me alone...
No. Don't think about it. ''What Im trying...''

Deep breath. ''What Im trying to say...to...''
C'mon Kaiba, you can do this.
''Joey, I..I think I love you.''
He hates me now...wait? What? A kiss?

A gentle brush upon my lips
''Took you long enough, you brat''
Whispers, love-soft, until he trips.
''Clumsy dog.'' I smile, and that

Draws an answer from his eyes
He kisses me again, so sweet
He rests his lips on mine, and sighs
Then panic ''Oh crap! Im supposed to meet-''

''Shh...'' I say, ''I think they've guessed.''
Sure enough, a tumult of claps
We're finally together, my mutt and I
Forever and a day? Well...perhaps...

-SY- Well, thats that. How was it? Good? Bad? Should just be flamethrowered
right away? Either way, I hope you enjoyed it! Then again, this is my
poetry we're talking about....you're probably running for a weapon even as
I speak...huh? *looks around* Where'd everyone go?

*silence*

-SY- *starts looking nervous* Alloran? Nebhtari? Faria? Dilandau? Colleen?
Felicia? ANYONE?
