My Poetry

Postby emily first » Fri Mar 29, 2002 9:47 pm

AUTHOR(S) APOLOGY:I created this thread to provide a home for all those little ideas/pieces of writing that I couldn't turn into a full-blown Willow/Tara FanFic story...So,tho' not being strictly poetry as such,I hope you find something of interest.

Title:Poem 1.UnTitled.

Author:Emily First.

Feedback:Yes please.(It would be much appreciated).

Rating:PG-13...Please respect the conventions behind such ratings...they are there for a reason!

Thanx:Katharyn.For noticing,commenting...and thus,encouraging.

*

As part of the show...

Xander and Anya,we all know...

Of Buffy and Faith...We'd be oh so excited!

...And poor Spike unrequited.

But with Giles and Dawn,we have to ask...

Should we take the writers to task?

But that's all by-the-by...

Of Willow and Tara...A Love so bold;

Come,gather you Kitties,

And read the Tales told,

In fiction,poems and some little ditties.



Heads,arms and legs with all between;

What there is...Has always been.

Of their height...

What can I say?

Nothing more,than...It's right !



And so,I am sure

We'll never tire

Of eyes of green,hair of fire...

Of eyes of blue,hair of sun...

They're meant to be one!

I know this for sure.

Willow's PoV...I think.

Outside...It's a Dark and Stormy night...

Wind,She's dancing with the trees...

My Love...

As I kneel here in supplication...

I'm begging you,please...

Hold me tight.

Title:Poem 3."Willow and Tara...the Future."

Feedback:Yes please.(It would be much appreciated).

Rating:PG-13...Please respect the conventions behind such ratings...They are there for a reason.

*

I have seen their destinies in the bones...

I have seen their futures in the cards...

I have seen the tragedies to come...

I have seen the sacrifices to be made...

I have seen the pain to be endured...



But do not worry kittens...



I have seen the light which was conceived...

I have seen the love which has been created...

I have seen hope reborn...

I have heard the stars sing in joy.



...And now I am happy and content.

****

The End.

As we lie here in wonder,

Our thoughts stunned;beyond speaking...

As we gaze into each others' eyes;

Shining so bright...

We realise our lives have changed beyond meaning...

As we lie here in wonder,

At this life we have created,

We know that one day,you are moving out into the world...

But ,just for now,we are the shield to protect you...

The blade to defend you.



As you sleep peacefully between us...

We lie here in wonder,

At a brand new day...

We 3 together;

Willow,Tara and Joy Rosenberg-Maclay.

*

End.

Notes:Takes place sometime in season 4,between "Something Blue" and into "Hush" (?!) - I think that Willow has always known...

*

Within the circle;broken,

She stands alone.

Her soul besieged,

Her spirit diminished,

Her heart breaking.

Needing help;

To turn the tide,

To ease that hurt inside.

She goes seeking...



What she finds,

Is just nearby...

Calmly waiting,

To catch her eye.



Turning to look,

She does see...

The light of love,

To make her whole...



The fear now gone,

She approaches,

One step at a time...

The only way,

To fill the hole

in her soul...



"Hello,my name is Willow..."

Seeing for the first time

That shy smile,

Hearing that quiet voice,

"I'm Tara..."

*

End

Tara

What do you see

When we first meet

A look

A glance

A smile

Do you notice that I 'flick' my hair

Just for you

Do you realise my breathe does quicken

When I know that you are looking

Do you see that my pupils dilate

When you come into view

Then

We were seperate

Now we are whole

Then

We were apart

Now we are together



Willow

When you hold me tight

I just know that it's right

When you kiss me

I know that it's not wrong

When you touch me

I know what you give

When we became lovers

I'm glad that you accepted

When I look at you

My love is returned

Not reflected

Willow,

Why...

With no fear

Or thought,

Did you take that first step?

Did my words have no meaning?

Have you forgotten all I shared?

Do you hear nothing I say?



Does my Love mean nothing?



Willow,

Why...

Did you not remember

The Law of Unintended Consequence?



What shaded your eyes?

Who closed your mind?



Willow,

Why...

Do you walk

Down the Road

Paved with Good Intentions?

I can't move...

My arms are tied,

My limbs are frozen...

My mind is numb.



It's dark outside...

I think.

I can't really tell,

My eyes are shut.



My soul has been sundered...

My heart ripped out.

Why am I still breathing...

You are gone.

Standing on the Edge of the Abyss,

One Step from Oblivion.

i have to ask...



Dawn,

why do you say Sorry

for the Pain I Inflicted.



Buffy,

why do you Forgive me

for the Release I Denied you.



Tara,

the Anguish endured;

the Hurt i caused...

What have you done with them,

Where have they gone...



i know that You Still Love Me,

but i Do Not know Why.

With only the memory of Love behind me...

With no thought of Farewell,

With no prospect of Hello...

I walked down the Road,

Into the Valley of the Sun



As I stand before you,vulnerable,

You reach out your hand...

Combing through my hair with your fingers,

You draw me close,into your arms...



As we start to dance,real slow...

And our Heartbeats move to synchronise,

As I accept life's breathe from between your lips,

You re-kindle that flame...



Speaking my true name,

You summoned me from the shadows.



And I walked down the Road

Into the Valley of the Sun.



*

End

Surrounding Willow,

The Darkness in Night;

Clothed in Shadow,

does Flex its' Might.



Humble,

Yet un-bowed...

Proud,

Yet not prideful...

Strong,.

Yet not hard...



She acknowledge's her mistakes...

Faces her Demons.



She formulates a thought...

Asks a question.



Surrounding Willow

The Darkness,in its' Might...

Has no defence,

no Hope of winning the Fight.



...As Willow receives an answer,

And does speak a Word of Power.



"Tara..."

End

Cloaked in Solitude,

Down from the hills I came

...To meet my Destiny.




Now...

We walk down this wide road

Step by step

Side by side

Together...



And

Being no longer a child

I know that nothing is guaranteed...

That we might not reach the end together...



But

I know that...

With a Touch

A Kiss

And a wee bit of love and majick

We brought Joy to the world.



That

We learned...

There are only three things that matter:

People you Love

Your Memories...

And Sadness.



So

If the road forks

And we walk seperate paths

We will still be together

Side by side

Step by step

Till we meet again...



And

Start walking

Once again

...Down another wide road.

*

End

PoV? You decide...



When Sleep removes her blanket

And I open my eyes

To see you beside me

For the first time

I know that the World has changed



As your eyes open

I know your thoughts

Your momentary Discomfort and Fear

Your Shyness

A mirror for my own



As I move

You murmur in protest

Your Hand reaching for me

Your Body moving slowly

To Capture me whole



Your Fingertips reaching to comb through my hair

To pull my Lips to yours

Your Tongue

Soft then Hard

Demanding entrance



Starting to move together

Real slow...

Our Fingers explore

Newly opened Territories

Our Minds store New Memories



Wanting...

Needing...

Reaching...

Releasing...

The Holler and the Howl




Lying here beside you

My Pulse winding down

From that Peak of Tension

That Moment of Stillness

We Speak Soft Words



Mine

Yours

Ours

Always

Forever and A Day...One



*

End

The Sun is shining

Yet all I see is Dark



My Body is Cold

My Spirit is Numb



My Thoughts are Frozen...



There is no more Input

There are no more Tears to Fall



There will be no New Memories

No more Laughter



No more Love



No more Anything



My Life is Over...



*

End
