CRAZY UPDATING BECAUSE I'M BORED/INSPIRED
Decided to do a poem because poetry is my god :3 If you like my poetry, check out Shadows of Memories (for Envy fans) or Faithfully (if you like EdWin in small doses), both on my profile. SHAMELESS PLUGGING WOO I will say, I'm kind of insanely proud of this one…I may do a companion poem from Envy's point of view for one of the themes. And poetry is just FUN.
Sakura117: Thank you very much! I've sworn on my father's grave (which is particularly weird since he's not dead) that I will get to all 100 of these. You should give the themes a go!
Also, it's Chapter 10! Which of these ten themes has been your favourite? Review with the answer :D :D :D (Yes, I just want reviews.)
10. Petrichor (the smell of rain on dry ground)
You came in the night
A slinking and sleek shadow without a name.
You came in the night
searching for relief
a release from your inheritance of shame
You smelt of blood –
iron and copper and somebody else's death.
You smelt of blood and tears and sweat.
For all your threats –
you're nothing but an empty shell
looking for somebody to fill you up
like throwing rocks down the old well.
For all your bluster –
all it takes is a brush,
for skin and skin to touch
to make you flustered.
The first time you kissed me,
it was raining.
We were worn out and weary
Patterned with bruises
From endless battles and wars neither of us will win.
The first time I kissed you
It was storming
Somewhere
And suddenly you looked old.
You're less than
And more than.
You're brighter than
And darker than.
(I wish you didn't hide from)
Everybody else.
I never expected
(though I knew it was a game)
To wake up one morning
To nothing but the smell of the dry ground after rain.
