A/N:
Sorry about the mix-up with my last poem "The Aspiration." It is a
Rurouni Kenshin poem, about Yahiko. Its based after the episode "Run
Yahiko! Get Back the Reverse-Blade Sword!" At the end when he faces
Gohei, he draws Kenshin's sakabato and it shimmers in the sunlight.
That picture was the inspiration for the poem, how Yahiko's only
ambition is to become strong. Okay?
This poem is based on one of my favorite episodes of Rurouni Kenshin,
Kenshin's battle against Hajime Saitou. I love that episode, how it's
so dark and powerful, with Kenshin reverting back to being Battousai
and fighting with such strength and vigor even with injuries and...and...
OH IT'S SO COOL! I LOVE IT! Anyway, this poem is about Saitou and
Kenshin's angst against each other during that battle. Hope you like
it. And thanks so much for all the great reviews!

Eternal Rivalry
Beyond the ring of time thus cruel
Locked in an ever present duel
Though ten years postponed, they fight
Trapped in the Revolution's endless night
A road cold and distant they stride
Paths of Bitterness and Pride
Rivals, their swords bloodstained
Destiny at once ordained
Current time is nonexistent
In the past they live, not present
One man fights for what freedom he can
The other, Aku Soku Zan
Ever indignant to each other
Pitted as brother against brother
In a time of war and enmity
Seeking to set their spirits free
Trapped within a bloody past
Two swordsman at their vigor's last
Still battle, darkened shadows cast
Pause to reflect, standing fast
Heavy breathing, focused eyes
Knowing a conclusion to one of their lives
Stalwart warriors of Japan
Fight to best the better man
Until death thus part this swordsman pair
And the smell of blood does fill the air
Rivalry shall forever last
Through these who remain lost in the past
