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
