AN: This time it's from Migel's point of view. I do not own Escaflowne. I hope you enjoy this poem. I certainly enjoyed writing it! Review if you find it worthy.

5th Ode to Lord Dilandau

Garnet eyes slide to the side

Beneath dark lashes that are truly fair

Only I know that you hide them with mascara

To contrast your skin and silvery hair

As you frown and watch me watch you

I'm wondering, what else do you conceal?

Are you really so confident, are you fearless?

Is the man I think I see even real?

At last annoyed with my staring

You glare, "You must have better things to do."

I bow and apologize, "I know - sorry, Sir,

But it's kind of hard not to stare at you."

I love how one side of your mouth

Twitches upward; amused smile or stern frown?

At last a smirk wins - I wouldn't dare insult you

"If you must stare, Migel, stare at the ground."

I smile and playfully do as you say,

Commenting in what could be feigned dismay

"It's not the same, Sir, the floor isn't albino!"

Just another move in this game we play

And your amused silence tells me I've won today
