Wishes and Dreams

Just a few tanka that I wrote based on the Kyoto Arc, from the viewpoints of our favorite couples. KXK, SXM, AXM.

Wishes and Dreams

Kenshin:

Beautiful Kaoru,

I long for that innocence,

Lost to one that kills.

Waxing eloquent, aren't I?

I will come, love, I will come.

Sanosuke:

Aw, shut up Vixen,

I don't need you nagging too!

But I guess I should

Thank you, since you did reset

My hand…Will you feed me-WHACK!

Aoshi:

Misao, my dear,

My Okashira always, with

Your soft, sweet smile,

Your poetic, fierce eyes, rimmed

With tears at my betrayal.

And, ah yes, the guys! I seriously thought about Yahiko/Tsubame, but nothing came as inspiration. Sano's isn't really poetic, but…heh heh, I have a lot of fun adding weird sounds to my tankas as syllables. And yes, I stayed with the 5,7,5,7,7 form. If I screwed up, please note!

Laters!
