Author's Note: This is from Leorio's point of view.


boy with shifting eyes
i know storm clouds brew behind
your glassy surface

allow me to see
sky splitting free, torrential
rains after the drought

beneath waning moon
slumber right beside my heart
beat, your lullaby

our fingers entwined
my hand chafing from your chains
a balm should soothe it

hourglass looms over
our bed, but in blue darkness
pretend it doesn't
