A/N: This is my first Kenshin poem. I wrote it after seeing the
"Departure" scene where Kenshin says goodbye to Kaoru before heading off to
fight Shishio. Hope you like it and the other poems I'll post soon.
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, but if I did boy would I be
swimmin' in dough! $$$$$$$$

A Moment in Twilight

Beneath a sky of stars
The moonlight hidden away
I stand alone and wondering
Of the meaning of this day
I fear this moment will be the last
That I will spend with you
Right now my heart is breaking
My love, my soul, it's true
Until this day I've held things back
Inside I've kept my thoughts
Struggled not to touch, to tell, to love
Leaving myself distraught
On this night I vowed
To meet you near the stream
And watch the dancing fireflies
Waltzing in a dream
Now the hour has grown short
And my leaving ever clear
This may be the only time
That I may hold you near
Without a second thinking
I draw you close to me
And whisper in your ear
The things tormenting me
My love for you, my anguish
Is nothing short of pure
Please understand this parting
Is for our future to insure
Though I leave you in the twilight
And wander once again
Never shall I forget your tears
In my heart you will remain
For my love is so true and just
That I cannot breathe a word
Fear not now, dear sweet one
Though I wander I shall return
So I leave you in the twilight
I dare not turn about
For your tears will make me stay
And make my journey full of doubt
Stay and wait for my arrival
Here by the silver stream
Where we will see the fireflies
Dancing in a dream
The darkness closes over
I cannot hear your weeping
Still I see your face
Every night whilst I lay sleeping
Your glistening locks swaying
Your eyes are like the stars
I remember you in the twilight
Etched in my heart as a scar
Fear, not my sweet beloved,
I shall see you again
Beneath the starlit sky
When the moment will never end
