A/N: Hey! I'm back! Just a little warning, this was written at midnight
while I was under the influence of Coke, strong coffee and cookies. This
poem deals with the relationship between Celena and Dilandau. Some
suggestive stuff later on, just a warning. PLEASE R+R! Losing all my
fanfics really got me down, so even one teeny little review would make me
feel better. Thank you for listening to my ranting. Read and review and I
will try my hardest to update more. DOMA ARIGATOU MINNA-SAN!
Equal and Opposite
Red eyes close
Blue eyes wait
They share their woes
Toys of fate
Darkness surrounds
No need to search
Dreams come like shadows
Around corners they lurk
She turns around
She sees his face
Blue eyes wonder
Do we share this fate?
Red eyes see her
Red eyes see blue
You look so familiar
Do I know you?
The boy from my dreams
To catch me when I fall
Does he fear to be alone?
Would he come if I called?
The girl in my head
The angel of my dreams
Save me from my nightmares
Come and stay with me
She beckons to him
He follows instinctively
Where are you taking me?
Follow and you shall see
A bright and blinding light
Taken to her dream
A warm summer valley
Only he and she
They lay in the shade
Of a great tall tree
He sees what he's missing
He sees what she sees
Warm lazy summer
Under a tree
But he's a soldier
Angel, stay with me
A red light in the distance
Burst into flames
Dragged into war
Lost soldiers with no names
The boy is at ease
Surrounded by war
The girl is terrified
All this hatred, what for?
Death surrounds them everywhere
Blue eyes grow large with fear
Broken bodies drench the ground
Why did you bring me here?
Tears slide down flawless cheeks
The young man looks around
A weak cry escapes the girl
His head turns at the sound
It hurt him to see her crying
Why he did not know
He approached her cautiously
His steps measured and slow
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
The boy said to the girl
I'm afraid she whimpered
Into the dark they fell
Surrounded by dark
The war it now is gone
For him the time was short
For her it seemed so long
She dropped to her knees
Face buried in her hands
He longed to ease her suffering
Go back to those peaceful lands
He knelt down beside her
Longing to ease her pain
He put his arm around her
Until she grew calm again
Still leaning on his chest
She whispered a quiet Thank You
This made him hold her tighter still
Fate can't make me leave you
She gazed into his bright red eyes
Eyes of ruby and sapphire
So same and yet so different
Like calm water and bright fire
Seeing those twin sky blue pools
Right into her innocence
Made him feel things not felt before
Not making much sense
He leaned down and captured her mouth
In a sweet yet simple kiss
Her sky blue eyes widened immensely
What do I make of this?
He was tense, afraid of rejection
He'd done this so many times before
He wanted to change his fate
Cleanse his hands of war
He seemed so gentle
So caring so warm
Her eyes, she felt them close
To surrender to his arms
This was her first kiss, he was sure
She was so pure, inexperienced
If a moment could stretch out forever
He'd want it to be this
The warmth was like a fire
Not raging, but rather gentle
It swirled through both their bodies
Like a deep and dark blue pool
They finally drew back breathless
To gaze into the other's eyes
Already they had grown so close
They each let out soft sighs
Her fair cheeks blushed so nicely
He couldn't ask for more
But he longed for her to be closer
Compared to him, she felt so warm
He drew her closer than she'd been before
Hoping she wouldn't mind
When she pulled even closer still
He thought of happiness he'd die
She'd never been so comfortable
Around anyone before
That kiss that he had given her
Of those she wanted more
He wanted to protect her
From all the evils in the world
Although he was one sometimes
He truly loved this girl
She rested her head upon his shoulder
Taking in his warmth
How she loved his arms around her
Around her slender form
His arm shifted a little
To a more comfortable position
Around her waist it had moved to
A quite welcome transition
He ran his fingers down her cheek
Feeling its warm smooth softness
Her eyes shot open at his actions
Her cheeks now flushed with hotness
She gazed into his garnet eyes
Confused, dazed unbelieving
She hoped that this was not a dream
Appearances not deceiving
He leaned close to her again
Kissed her sweet sweet lips
Felt her melt beneath his touch
Wanting more of this
The darkness around them melted
For a moment revealing white
Their minds formed a bed beneath them
A nearby fire for light
They broke the kiss reluctantly
She laid her head on the pillow
A smile on her face
Hair of silken ashen gold beneath her head it seemed to billow
He moved over her nervous and reluctantly
He leaned his face in close to hers
Smiled gently
Spoke these words
Celena, I believe that is your name
I'd go through hell to be with you
For I love you more than anything
He gazed into her eyes, now a darker shade of blue
Dilandau, that is your name, correct?
I believe I love you too
I've dreamed about you for so long
She closed her eyes so blue
He leaned his face into her neck
And closed his blood red eyes
I would do anything for you
Lay down my very life
You were there in my dreams
Always there to soothe me
I never want to leave your side
Please, angel, stay with me
She looked down at his silver head
Resting on her shoulder
He seemed so attentive to her answer
This scared and lonely soldier
Of course I'll stay with you
I love you more than anyone
My silver moon
My warm bright sun
His head shot up from where it had rested
And his ruby eyes were wide
Thank you angel, I thank you so
If you'd said no I'd die
She smiled gently at him
Into his wine-hued eyes
They'd grown so close so short a time
And she felt like she could fly
Celena he began again
Sounding rather worried
He looked directly at her
How much would you say you loved me?
More than anything Dilandau
And you know I'd never lie
About your question though
Do you mind if I ask why?
Celena I cannot live without
I, he hung his silver head
He wondered why she hadn't noticed
That they were in a bed
Celena please just listen
He gazed into her eyes of blue
Please, just let me do this
Let me show how much I love you
At first Celena was confused
Of just what he was asking
She then realized the bed and in his eyes
The answer was flashing
He was tense
If he scared her
He would die since
He'd promised to protect her
You know I love you too
Dilandau, you know I really do
And so I have an answer
She said with eyes so blue
Yes
His ruby eyes, they widened
With shock, relief and joy
Tonight she would make a man
Out of this lonely little boy
He didn't want to hurt her, since it was her first time
He'd done it so many times before just never with his love
He would show her so much pleasure
Yet be gentle as a dove
He kissed her once again
And held onto her so tight
He drew back to whisper her name
One of many times that night
Garnet eyes fluttered open
He looked around HIS room
So it was all a dream, he thought
It WAS too good to be true
A tear slid down his pale cheek
He couldn't believe this curse
Of all the wars he'd been in
Nothing had hurt worse
He lay back down
Ready to cry with horrible pain
He'd felt true utter honest love
Only to have it torn away again
When he considered sleeping for the rest of his life
He felt a gentle stirring
He looked down beside himself in his bed
And his heart nearly stopped beating
There was his angel, nestled close
Wanting more of his welcome heat
The tears this time were tears of joy
As his heart skipped a beat
He laid back down and pulled her close
Her head laid on his chest
Now with his angel near him
He could finally get some rest
He knew he wasn't dreaming
He really truly knew
What true love really felt like
With his angel, eyes so blue.
