:: idol of gold ::

these horns don't always show
these marks arise from below but
i think we're missing something
i wonder if kissing you
will tame me
i'm still the will of fire
the idol of gold with
blood as black as snow

you can't tell me where
the end of this begins
not sure but in time these sins and
these scars will hunt me down
even you're not prepared
all the books in town
won't save you from my history
soon enough i'm scared
you'll understand
what a mess you've dared
to land yourself in
my lamb, my love
it scares me how bad
i want to discover
what your heart looks like

stay with me
cause it's raining too hard to go home
lit paper burning down again
and my fingers blister
but i can't take my eyes off you

it isn't so much the chase
as the way you run from me
i picked out your scent
i was made to know you
believe it or not
you were made to show me
everything - 'trust me,' i say
you thought i was out to surmise
but i surprised you, didn't i?
but i think somewhere
along the shores
in all those books of yours
just between 'attraction'
and 'ensnare'
stopped at 'distraction'
and moved back to 'despair'

so stay with me
cause it's raining too hard to go home
lit paper burning down again
and my fingers blister
but i can't take my eyes
off you

It's about these two. I linked Aze's art of them both because mine sucks. Poem from Rieru's perspective. Don't ask me where this came from. I just thought, "I want to write something," and this is what came out. It's weird, since Rieru is not my character. But Taira poetry would just be whiny.

Sigh. Writing this description just totally depressed the fuck out of me. No worries about commenting... I know poetry is like a sin on SA anyway.

It's only a sin because people like instant gratification.

I really like this, snowflake. Especially the last stanza.

Goodness that is beautiful. :3 You are so good with the way you compose your poems; the arrangement for the words is perfectly done. It seems unique for a love poem, too. Great work!
