Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Heart of a Firefly ❯ The Heart of a Firefly ( Chapter 1 )

A/N: Hiya, Peeps!!! I'm having trouble finishing my other fic(s) that I intend to post (eventually ^^ ), so I just thought that I'd go ahead and post this instead. I'm in a creative writing class at school, and we've been writing poems lately……… unfortunately, as a result everything I've written lately have been more “poem-ish” than “story-ish”, so I gave up on the InuYasha fic that I started a while ago *cough September cough* and wrote a coupla' Yu Yu Hakusho poems, instead. ^^ This one is my first, and it is dedicated to Hiei. *glomps Hiei* Isn't he kawaii??? ^^ Anyway, just read it and let me know what you think. Or not. Whatever is fine…… Oh, and just to let you know, flames do not fall under the category of constructive criticism. So don't bother. Besides *points to Hiei* ..…he has larger flames, anyway. And I'm more afraid of him than I am of you. ^___~ Ja ne!!!

Disclaimer: It's mine!!! All mine!!! Bwahahaha!!! ………….okay, fine, not really. I just borrow random characters to play with ever once in a while. *pouts* But one day………. *evil grin*

The Heart of a Firefly

 

During the day, he hides.

Invisible…

You cannot see him;

He is hidden.

But he can see you.

 

During the night, he appears.

Sometimes

A short burst of light,

But other times

He still hides in the shadows.

 

You can not tell how he feels;

Emotionless…

But is he really?

 

Sometimes his light is a little brighter;

Sometimes his light is a dull glow;

Sometimes his light is soft, calm;

Sometimes his light flares with a hidden passion;

Sometimes…

 

He is so small and tiny;

Overlooked…

One would not think

That one such as he

Could have such a large heart.

 

They all ignore him;

Always…

Under he sunlight

He appears to be nothing;

Just another someone.

 

He prefers it that way.

Ignored…

Because those who see him,

Those who come near him,

Always hurt him.

 

He was not meant to be

Imprisoned…

He was scorned,

And then released,

But is he happy now?

 

He needs to be free,

Unfettered…

For he is a spirit,

An untamed soul

Who needs to run wild.

 

But they need not be so

Heartless…

Can you not see?

This shadow in the night

Wishes to be caught.

 

But only by that someone

Special…

Who looks past his face,

And into his heart,

And sees the real him.

 

You can not tell how he feels;

Emotionless…

But is he really?

 

Sometimes his light is a little brighter;

Sometimes his light is a dull glow;

Sometimes his light is soft, calm;

Sometimes his light flares with a hidden passion;

Sometimes…

 

 

For he has been branded:

Forbidden…

But he is not worthless,

And he can not see this

Until he is shown.

 

See? His light is shining

Brighter…

He does not know it,

But he wants you

To come save him.

 

For he needs to be

Loved…

And always cherished,

And always kept close,

And allowed to shine.

 

Because sometimes you cannot tell how he feels.

Sometimes, he is emotionless.

But most of the time, he's just hiding;

Waiting;

And sometimes…

 

Sometimes his light is a little brighter;

Sometimes his light is a dull glow;

Sometimes his light is soft, calm;

Sometimes his light flares with a hidden passion;

Sometimes…

 

Sometimes, you can see him;

Hopeful;

Wanting to see

If you will be able to catch

The heart of a firefly.
