Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
36. Aunoma Kiriha
He was the rival in disguise:
the one who took on the villain's role
to pull the hero through
And the mud coloured
his pale hair an earthly brown:
a cold unfeeling brown
that marked the boundaries of his form
(…and beyond that
was just a crying little boy
seeking love…)
But all of that was soon brought
to a rest, and the disguise
he'd worn for all too long
was shed.
