Poems for Rei and Kai

Oh,kaybees. The first two poems are based on a story on ffnet by
Lady AA-Chan, called, \'Signs\'. If you want to read the story, the
best way is to go by title and scroll down.
The second pair are based on \'Wicked wind blows\', you know the ep.
with dastardly Bryan (phhtt).

Enjoy,
Snow

Winter breathes in autumn

Winter has encased my years,
leaving me an unknowing shell-empty, desolate, and
unfeeling.

As I wander the fleeting days,
my feet leave an unseen trail of ice,
words I speak are iced over with sleet.

Nothing pierced my icy prison.
Until a breath of autumn and roses-shattered my ice diamond walls,
leaving me defenseless, and afraid to fall.

Crystal drips from broken remains of my will,
warming me-sucking me into a life I don\'t know how to live.
Desperate I reach for an anchor; to break my fall.

Crying out, I land in autumn\'s arms,
safe now, I rest-breathing in roses.


Autumn dances with winter

You and I were meant to be,
if we can only get past our fear,
that this feeling is not for us,
that it is wrong and we should let it lie unvoiced.

Yet, how do I let go,
when you call to my very soul.

Lying on your breast, as we sway
caught in the strands of a musical web.
I yearn to keep the world at bay,
please say this joy will never end.

Be the strength that will defend me,
to the finish of the universe.

I can sense the breaking of the icy mask-you hide behind,
will this be the moment I\'ve been praying for,
when you and I will be forever one.

Or we will just be-rose petals and snowblossoms,
whirling, floating, drifting,
caught in the winds of seasonal change.

Our last hope forever lost.

Who is?

Empty,
my heart is so empty,
you are gone.

Through all the trying times,
all the times, I just wanted to give up,
admit defeat and hide from the world,
you were there to pull me through, and help
this lost wanderer find my way.

Who is going to fill that void, now?

We stood there, you and I - defiant.
We dared him to do his worst,
and took everything he threw at us.

If I had known that losing you was the price, I\'d
pay - for our stand.
I don\'t know if I could have paid it.
My soul would have cried out against it.

But, you paid it and gladly.
Was I ever worthy of you?

You left me before,
when my self-doubt drove you to teach me a harsh lesson.
It seems I still have a lot to learn.

Who will teach me, now?

Driger

I lay on the drab grey bed,
too exhausted to do more than
stare at the cracks on the ceiling.

Did you know that if you stare long enough,
they\'ll change shapes or even talk to you?

Softly, I smile at my own whimsy,
while slowly shaking my head, trying to clear the cobwebs.
Beneath my cheek, the vinyl is cool and smells of disinfectant.

Even as I close my eyes,
a feeling of something brushes my mind,
and causes me to struggle against the tide of
blackness that threatens to overwhelm me - again.

There is a wrongness in the air,
a sense of loss,
yet try as I might, I can\'t grab onto that elusive
whatever,
that disturbs my rest.
I fight to rise and seek out someone to help me,
but I fall back-defeated.

The exhaustion caused by the day\'s battle
has taken too much from me,
my trembling limbs, and fogged mind,
refuse to respond to my demands.

My battered psyche can only take so much,
as I slip beneath the waves of the black sea that
calls me,
the day comes back in flashes of varied colors,
and myraid of images.

A pained whisper of a lost name tears from my lips,
as I succumb.

Driger!
