Love flies into life
Like a gunshot in the back.
Please shoot me right now.

River smiles to air,
Madness begets Sanity;
River is now calm.

No one can deny
Mal is bad in the Latin:
Don't take his freedom.

A smile from Kaylee
Has cut through th blackness of
Simon's fear locked heart.
#5
Serenity flies
Through the black of tyrany
Seeking her freedom.

Simon has found love,
Love he could not imagine:
Kaylee has fixed his heart.
#7
Reavers have no fear
Except when a Shadoe falls
Upon their dead world.
Tanka #1
The darkness was real
From horrors too dominant,
When Simon met his
Kaylee in the black of space:
Her light shone through his closed heart.
Tanka #2
Mal cannot admit
His love for Inara yet,
Her career is in
The way, she's a Companion:
Sharing his love's no option.
