My lame attempts at writing some poetry (freeverse so don't flame me, please...) on RK. It basically talks about Kenshin leaving and being away from Kaoru and the rest of those he cared about. Please R&R! Thanks!
Another day bleeds into yet another night
to break into another dawn;
still with seemingly sightless eyes
she lies in wait.
'Neath those leafy arms
where cherry blossoms bloom
and fireflies burst into tiny flames,
her heart holds on to hope.
Overhead the stars mourn,
their silent weeping unheard
as their eyes scour the vast earth
for that one true love who left.
The moon breaks into tears
at her sorrowful pleas
and longing voice calling out:
"Kenshin, where are you?"
She closes her eyes
as memories that were once forgotten
now with vengeance
assailed her senses.
Here, upon this very ground,
beneath this very tree,
illumined by these same firefly flames,
he first spoke "Goodbye."
He had touched her then;
with those hands roughened by pain,
callused by violence,
shadowed by a murky past.
He had held her then;
in the circle of those arms
that once brought death and harm
where she knew peace.
Once he said goodbye
but it did not last;
her heart sought him,
her love found him.
Now he is gone again,
with nary a farewell.
Her heart seeks him
But her love could not find him;
"Kenshin, where are you?
Please...please, come home."
