Disclaimer: Nobuhiro Watsuki is the owner of Rurouni Kenshin. My name is not Nobuhiro Watsuki. But you already knew that, right?

Fleeting Shadows

Darkness is laughing,

Endlessly mocking

To dance with the shadows,

But they flee away.

Last threads of hope,

Are severed between my harsh grasp

There is no light

To comfort my soul

Death embraces my hands,

Yet she will not take my heart.

And together she taunts

With the chortling shadows

Clutching my only companion,

The deadly steel I wield;

I break away.

To me there is no right or wrong;

Just my life or death.

ยป Yet another dark poem. O.O I wrote this one about 2 months ago, but I was not really sure if I wanted to post it or not. Originally, this was about a different character from another series, but I thought Kenshin would be more fitting.

Please Review! ^o^
