Disclaimer: If you can actually figure out who I'm talking about, then you'll know that I don't own them.

Author's Notes: I write a lot of poetry, and most of it is never published, since I never feel justified in posting one or two lines. This is a collection of the better poetry I've written about Demon Diary, which I seem to write quite a bit of in lieu of actual stories. I mean it as a heartfelt thank you for all of my reviewers on my other stories- it often bothers me that I have no real way to tell you how grateful I am for your support. The other site I'm on, , is wonderful in this regard but fails to reach the same audience... I'm sorry, I'm rambling now. Please enjoy!

1) Siphon

I don't know what to make

Of this man standing before me

He is tall and handsome

Darkly brilliant

Marvelous to behold

He is dour and expressionless

Moody or contemplative

Predictable in his reactions and his admonishments

But sometimes,

Just sometimes

He smiles.

Throws me for a loop

A peek of white teeth

A crinkle of skin

A ray of sun in his normal

Moonlight.

2) Tomatoes- dedicated to Cruzle

Tomatoes are

Sweet crunchy juicy goodness

Dribbling down my chin as

I take a scrumptious bite.

3) Lessons- dedicated to Lethe Seraph

Hair of black silk

Dripping down around

Shoulders wrapped in softness

Framing eyes of fire

Lips pale

Creamy skin

Seeping down into a

Shadowy oblivion

How can I be expected

To pay attention to just

Your mouth

When the rest of you

Speaks to me also?

4) Four

The portrait that

Watched me that

Evening with eyes that

Pierced through me

Regal pose that

Mocked me saying that

I could never sit like that

He is very different from

Me.

5) Nightswimming- dedicated to The Dead

Like argent moonlight

His tresses filigree the shifting waters

He surfaces from the deep

Arcs back

A crescent moon,

Palely beautiful and

Regal.

6) Resultant Disasters - dedicated to Vampy-chan

Peeking through curtains

Undignified as if

I were human

Silent as a

Moth in sleep

A picture of my master

Stilled by slumber

Not silenced-

He rambles of odd things

A pillow to curl around

White as snow

His skin shades darker

Wondrously fair

Am I crazy to love

This peach-child?
