Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ To Mend the Rose ❯ Prose Interlude ( Chapter 5 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
AN: Here is a poem I wrote up in a couple of my spare minutes. It's far from my best, but there are some hints inside of it, if you look closely. ^_~ So, from Dilandau's POV, here is 'To Mend the Rose: a poem".

TO MEND THE ROSE: A POEM by Feye Morgan

Soft to touch, beauty abounds
A look, a smile, a memory.
They break, shattered instantly.
Who will mend the rose?

The mist creeps closer.
It binds, it chokes, it smothers.
Where will I find rest from the shadows of my past?
Who will mend the rose?

Smiles are brilliant and false.
Danger is far and near.
You are the light in the shadow.
You will mend the rose.

The illusion of light is in thee: shadow are you.
Broken am I, shattered reflection within.
But there is light somewhere,
I know it. I will find it.

I will mend the rose.
