Poetry & Songs

[SeleneHime]

Well ... Time to chance posting some of my non-literature work here ... I don't really write as much of poetry as regular literature, so take it as you will. Any opinions will be much appreciated, though. The thread will be updated as I write them after I'm caught up on what I've already written, so it is questionable as to how often new ones will be posted.

Feel free to post your commentary in this thread.

[SeleneHime]

Based off of a combination of astrological myths, though the idea randomly appeared. ^_^


Universe

Gentle caress of the moonlight, harsh brand of the sunlight.

By the star's light, plight of the solar system ignites.

People of the sun, people of the moon.

War and strife, or peace and light?

Stand and fight, or leave from sight?

Stars and planets unite, but for what right?

To defend the universe, a common enemy born.

Rest not, or risk the fate of the torn.

[SeleneHime]

Based off of the kitsune myth. "Fox Fire" and the misting rain are reference to how they get married, and the former means the one they love.

Fox Fire

Some say we are but lore,
Creatures of myth and legend.
Yet we are much more,
With powers beyond what most rend.

A kitsune of fire,
Master of many a guise.
Capable of love and ire,
Causing human and fox to rise.

Few continue to trust,
Blinded by their light.
Putting off what is our must,
Denying vixen sight.

We of many tails,
Paws and hearts of change.
Searching for our spirit's sails,
To glide on the sky's range.

Only another can make us whole,
Carrying our eternal heat.
Joining us to create one soul,
When we meet.

It is our dearest hope,
To wed under misting rain,
Trot into the stars at a lope,
For naught will remain the same.

Now it is I who seeks,
Listening to your soothing lyre.
Wishing to be complete,
Now that I've found my fox fire.

[SeleneHime]

Written from the PoV of a new character of mine, and her current position.

Dividing Lines

Some say hope no longer exists,
That there is no song of dawn.
Nary a feeling of bliss,
We of the caged long foregone.

Yet, there are some unbroken,
Spirit remaining free.
Some remain unspoken,
Prepared to rise from the debris.

Guided down a narrow path,
Forever lighting our own way.
Lest we feel another’s wrath,
We evade temptations to stray.

Even at power’s force,
We’ve little to lose.
Naught to remorse,
Among ever shifting hues.

Life marches on,
Into a future ablaze.
Returning to dawn,
Under another’s kind gaze.

Good job. Didn't know you could do poetry, but hey, you just joined. I like the last post in particular.

[SeleneHime]

Hehe, well, I do dabble in it. Haven't written anything new in almost a month, though. *Pokes poetry muse.* Its been lazy. ^_^"

But, thanks for commenting! I'm glad that you like the first bits that are posted.

Another character perspective poem. Sailor Sidus's viewpoint.

Scarlet Stars

In a quiet but breathless night,
A stain spreads to the sky.
Tainting red the star’s light,
Another left to die.

Crimson makes a flash,
Strife leaping abound.
With a warrior’s slash,
Forcing a harsh rebound.

It is but a war,
A merciless strike.
A future to become nevermore,
Digging into my psych.

There is no choice,
Even if I do not want to fight.
Naught to rejoice,
Spilling a bloodstained plight.

This Katsumi,
A foe in the night.
One strike through me,
At a fell handed knight.

Kill if I must,
Another life on my hands.
Nary to trust,
As barren desert sands.

A life unwanted,
A wish for the past.
A future undaunted,
For the next breath may be my last.

Ren x Cou

Elemental Gelade: Katana no Kaze
~ Sword of Wind ~

Gentle winds dance through the air,
Creating tenderness and care.
Zephyrs coiling with growing might,
Gracing the world with both power and light.

So few desire to truly combine,
Never looking to your unique shine.
You are but a mere power sign,
To those who seek a weapon divine.

Do others see this emotion?
The chance of everlasting devotion?
Or just a gleaming sword?
Something to rend a painful chord?

As plain as it may be,
The blessed blade is wielded free.
Look past my eyes and you will see,
A promise to be fulfilled by you and me.

So few truly know,
Appreciate your purity of snow.
Only seeing you as a tool of destruction,
Causing much strife and interruption.

Yet one does not have to feel,
To form a preserved appeal,
This creating a peaceful seal,
Still so perfectly real.

We are different but alike,
Capable of such an unusual sight.
For our souls react as one,
Hearts forming our own shimmering sun.
