Art of Life

Kurama:

There is a Dark Angel beside me.
Casting a shadow
Darker than the darkness
Where the black fire glows.

Hiei:

You know it for me,

For just the sake of knowing...
And I know you.
The deadly plants you wield
Drains the life out of you.
Yet you refused to shed
Any tears which appear at your eyes.

Your hair, deep red, flowing
in the wind...
The strange illusion often shadows
A bloody rose.
Standing in the cold, dry desert
Where no life is found...
The only beauty around.

Kurama:

Is it the fire of love, or
the fire of fury?
The Dark Angel’s silence spoke
To me, more than words.
The delicate little beauty
Charred by his own flames...
Trying, reaching...
Death is what he claims.

The shadows, the elegant Darkness...
Fighting for the sake of living,
Survival, victory...
And dignity.
Killing for our nature --
Lo and behold.

Hiei:

The Bloody Desert Rose
Casts shadowy light
To lead, to guide...
In the night.

The elegance of Life as the
Rose blooms...
While I, the Dark Knight
Protecting the delicate beauty.
Trying, trying so hard, to
Warm the cold surrounding...

Blood paints my asylum red
Fire leaps to spread its disaster...
Nothing matters, not anymore...
Except for my beautiful rose.

Kurama:

How strange,
The bond between us
Is able to bind the two extremes...
Love and Hate, Dark and Light;
Life and Death.
Is it Fate, I sometimes wonder
That brings us together?
Fate is the strangest thing --
It works the way we least expected.

Perhaps --
It is your presence
That is most comforting.
The beauty of Death’s essence...

Hiei:

Why is it
That I’m not alone?
I was the cursed child
That nobody wanted.
Nobody loved.

Your presence, tender and mild,
Proved it wrong.
Proved that sorrow - and hate -
Is not the greatest strength.
You’re my companion, my mate.

Though I kept silent
When I wanted to say,
"I need you.
Please stay ."

Kurama:

I understand.
That’s how it all adds up to it.
That’s why I never leave
Even if I could.
I can’t pretend
Not to share the serenity
Of it.
I can’t bring myself to
Deny.

Often, silence would be all I get
And that would be all I need
To know you’re sad.

I can never imagine
What would Life be
Without you?
If the Dark Angel
Flies away...
What can I ever do?
That all happiness would sail away...
Without you.

Hiei:

Living would bear no meaning --
It never does without you.
For you’re the shining star in the night.
My eyes do not grope in the shadows
Because of your light.

Kurama:

The silence through which we know
There’s nothing that separates us.
The rubies shining in the shadows
gleaming in the blazing black.
Gleaming with specks of sorrow -?

Perhaps the past is what you live in.
That is not to be.
Because, the past shall fade,
one day.
And it is already set.

But the future - it bears hope.
It is further down the way.
It allows us to fulfill our dreams,
promises ...

And the present.
Treasure the beautiful times.
Even though the road may be bent in Life,
It will be our precious experiences.

Hiei:

The Rose is right.
And it helps me to forget.
The sorrowful past of mine
to live
Yet I still can’t help it.
Not even my eyes become wet
But you constantly remind,
And bring me back.

Kurama:

Perhaps, you are innocent;
Though sorrow makes a person mature.
Death - and sorrow -
Are supposed to nurture -?
Yet you are innocent death ...

Hiei:

Sorrow hardens my heart -
As time goes by it will never
Melt - for anyone .
I used to live in a world of my own
Not daring to let others in
Fearful that it may one day take over ...
And that someone in my heart may take the throne.

Perhaps I was just fearful.
Of the soft warm love
Trying to enter.
Perhaps...
It was you whom I was afraid of.
Like insane blades stabbing dreams,
Hurting so much like the truth.

Kurama:

Break the truth;
Enter into the void of insanity...
Rubies shining with gratitude
In the glowing black fire.

Hiei:

Silver fox’s eyes gleaming with inner light
Bloody Desert Rose breathes
Love conquering the burning icy heart.
