DISCLAIMER: Don't own 'em. Wish I did.

Contemplation of the Deed:

Crimson

It's like the depths

Of my soul.

It's like the color

Of sins.

It's like the color

Of guilt.

It's like the color

Of love.

It's like the sky

After a day of death.

It's like the roses

That he grew.

It's like the locks

Of his hair.

It's like the blood

That pours from him.

It's like the death

That enshrouds him.

It's like the heart

Of my friend.

Like my sins.

My guilt.

My love.

My world.

My sword.

My eyes.

My blood.

My death.

But my heart?

Not crimson.

Black.


Notes: How could I? I just killed off the Beautiful One. I'm almost sorry. Almost. Very different from YSUtS!, yes? This was the first one I wrote and it's the title poem. And just to be clear, by 'love' I don't mean that this was some odd form of yaoi. It's platonic love, people. Platonic. Notice that he doesn't refer to the victim as 'lover' but 'friend'. So: Not yaoi. So go ahead. Flame me. Criticize me. Review. Just go ahead and do it.
