A/N: A couple of poems a day should be good enough. They'll all be posted in no time at all. Anyone waiting for certain Organization members... :coughdemyxandaxelcough: ...needn't worry about me failing to complete the collection.

Enjoy, read, and review, as always!


"No. XI: Marluxia, the Graceful Assassin"
By Erik Larence

We've waited long enough.
Those elders above us
Do little of anything to advance our goal.
Waiting won't bring us our hearts.
We must take action.
I've long tired of this emptiness.
Like uncultivated soil,
I lie seedless, vacant.
I will wait no longer for the heart's seed.
It's time I made my own plans.
It's time that they see the truth.
I am not a rose with a thorn
But a thorn with a rose.


A/N: My first version of this one totally lacked any kind of plant/flower imagery... It didn't feel right at all. Marluxia without flowers is like Axel without Roxas.
