[hometext] => incomplete.. not sure how it will end until it comes to me
[bodytext] => Light hues of amber kiss her peach fuzz earlobes The flowing melody of wooden flute floats softly through the breeze As Cherry blossoms embrace the folds in her robes Rippling water lifts and erodes the shore as time goes Her lungs draw in the aroma of the springtime sunset As she exhales into the steady breeze her form blends with the floating blossoms she stands with her legs rooted with a lightness and grace her robes and hair are dancing like the crashing of waves Calm determination etched into her face, accented by the setting sun’s rays Resolve well beyond her age is set deep in those warm brown eyes But that warmth is drained as a silhouette comes to range Like a tiger stalking his prey the shadow lingers at the horizon The man stops short as he can feel the pressure rising This meeting was not by chance to say the least Fate will have its way and by nightfall one will be deceased Two lovers who each mortally wronged the other Can only resolve the grudge with death as their judge. Silence. No words need stated when treacherous actions have already been traded Her energy is shifted as her back foot is lifted, and her arms follow the lead becoming one with her sword. As she lifts, the vibrations of steel sing out a deadly chord. As she sinks into her stance, the blade whispers longingly for the embrace of flesh. The man’s hands clench tightly around his katana His eyes reflect the landscape drenched in nirvana Yet she notices the weight of despair stinking stagnant in the air As he too sinks into his stance and for battle each prepare The resolution of this struggle is impossible for both Yet neither is capable of fulfilling their oath. Time can only be measured by the occurrence of events Because of this the moments they stared waiting misrepresents How long they stood waiting was lost in debating Whether either was strong enough to make a move. Moonlight now covers the landscape and still they stand off The emotions flowing seem animated with cherry blossoms Of love and anger the whirlwind swirls together [comments] => 3 [counter] => 83 [topic] => 22 [informant] => Degwynci [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
