This is the oldest of all of my Inu Yasha related poems. It came to me after seeing a screen cap of Sango standing in mist. I was playing with plot ideas for BM, and trying to decide what I was going to do with Sango and Miroku. I had two ideas to choose from, and was having a terrible time doing so. It was Miroku who was making it hard for me to decide what I wanted to do. As an experiment, I ended up creeping into his mind. These are the words that I found when I did it. By time I was finished writing the poem, I had no doubt about what I was going to do. No, I'm not going to tell you yet. However, you will find out the choice I made, when I finish chapters 17 and 18 of BM. That's where you will discover what Miroku said to me about his lover. ^_~

My Angel Born of Mist

By mishi

My angel born of mist

She dreams of scarlet nights

With broken hart, a wish

A new, come morning's light

Nightmares pass to nothing

She lies broken from the day

This passion's kiss, a blessing

Our hope of clearer ways

With bloody hands, she trembled

Her everything torn away

With in my arms there's peace now

I pray, she's hopes to stay

To give her life to share forever

I'd wash away that past

To replace it with our future

A love that's meant to last

My angel born of mist

For always here, please stay

I'll mend your heart, I promise

For your caresses washed away

All the dirt I clung to

And all my foolish ways

For you, my body yearns for

Your fire fills this place

For all it's worth, my angel

Your graces save this man

From circles of nameless faces

And the lust of dirty hands

So trust in me, dear always

My sweet and precious wife

Not then, not now, but always

I'll protect your sleepless nights
