Beautiful, wonderful imagery and metaphors. I love it, very fitting for love and utterly poetic. Never seen an Ayame/Hatori shipper before? o.o; Now that you mention it, me too. XD I find that weird, they seem so cute to me. ^^; Anyway ... Keep up the great work. :P I love this, simply amazing use of words that don't seem all that used. ^-^ I like, I like.

I like the contrast btwn 'mirage' and 'coup di grace'. Found this wonderful set of poems thru m.j.'s poem.These are very subtlely put. Great job.

Love the 2nd and 3rd verses. Great descrition of thoughts.

Ah romanticisms...icing on the cake, sweetens life, but the real substance is reality. Great you pointed this outhere.

there is a bloom unfolds carnation red,

but more's sweet fragrance deep as in Thy love,

entranced in movement under moonlight skies,—

swaying palm trees to sea breezes dancing.

without a sacrifice and with full joy,

if but a second be attention's span,

there's always hope it be prolonged to hours,

cool crystal waters always wend their way.

at first he carved in wood to leave his mark,

then bones and antlers found his blade to etch,

with confidence a marble stone he formed,

but then,—he ran across a meadow green,

chasing laughter from a nymph that galloped,

and then all he wanted was to form words,

to carve upon his heart to read to her.

pinwheels spin as iridescent blue silks,

chinese carp kites fly high in azure skies,

two string violin plays gently sweet songs,

soft jasmin perfumed words flow endlessly,—

¿is everything but a melody—Yours?

clear diadems diffract white light's spectrum,

or so it seems Thy laughter does to life,—

black void absorbs all energy's display,

or so it seems Thy presence does to life.

reposed in mortal dignity's deep Peace,

lies Certainty above grave's unknown dark,

a Faith bound up eternally with Love,

emanating Energy from Time's play,

across millenia succoring Heart.
