A/N: Rejoice! No. 8 has finally arrived. Axel, probably the most popular of Organization XIII — he's definitely among the most human of the group, but... Well, you know the story.
Enjoy, read, and review...
"No. VIII: Axel, the Flurry of Dancing Flames"
By Erik Larence
Is this really just a memory?
These thoughts, these compulsions—
Are they truly mere shadows
Flitting on the edge of feeling?
They, much like him,
Seem like so much more.
He makes me feel complete.
How is this possible?
I don't know at all,
And actually I don't care.
If this is a feeling's shadow,
Then one fact rings clear and true:
A true heart is worth any wait.
A/N: Let's face it: Roxas was at the center of his motives for just about everything we saw him do. Whether it's simply strong friendship or, as many seem to enjoy thinking, something a bit more intimate, I tried to make this poem fit well in either case.
