a dance
brisk
swift
heartpounding
hair loose against his face, music entwined with his every step
his lanky grace, emerald embellished upon his face
sharp bold steps, forest doublet swirling
the crowd in awe of his mastery
lapping up his every move like long awaited water
in a desert of an orchestra
notes twirling in every breath
a spark in his eye,
smirking yet his movements sweet
sidestep, he bows deep
with a flourish of his hand
a fair lady
painted in hues of lavender and violet
bystanders glare at her
envious of his choice
disdain lavishing her lips
yet her actions spoke otherwise
reaching out for his thin fingers
guiding her into his spell
while he is caught his hers
the click of her heels, gown swirling like wings of an angel
golden ripples glide over her piercing teal eyes
laughter dancing in her every step
mesmerizing
wrapped into the arms
of sir stranger
like they have always been there
absolutely perfect
the music fades
he dips her low
her sandy waves mingle with his earthen silk
breathing in each others scents, and release
fluid steps fading away lightly
as they part from each other
turning only once to meet each others eyes
emblazoned under masks that shaded their beauty
a rush of teal, a dash of mahogany
a flash of velvet,
and they turn away
in search of
a dance
AN: This was such an odd fanfic for me to write. Is it even considered a fanfic? It's more like a poem. Originally, it was inspired
by my need to write. It came up to 3,277 words of farce. It was much more complicated than I had wanted it to be, so I started over. I believe that this turned out nicely, though I haven't written poetry in a while. Damn synonyms were killing me. It is ShikaTema in case anybody had a hard time distinguishing it. Shika is a little ooc for me, but I like it. I kept imagining CLAMP style drawing from Shika with the way I described him. Dancing all lanky like and stuff just like Fai from Tsubasa. This fic is dedicated to darkgal666, who I had told I would dedicate my next fanfic to for bringing people to read my fics. It took me a while, but I did it! I hope you like it! Well, I'm off
