the ballad of

Summary:

yet another messy poetry by yours truly, inspired by a magnificent description of the eyes of Sherlock Holmes from one of suitesamba's masterpiece—Moon and Mirror, but for the entirety it was inspired by the ficlet. Such glorious poetic art itself.

Work Text:

Here in the world when one's life direction was measured
Of the colours their eyes produced
Of true colours, of palette mixtures
Even of lesser hues

Born with eyes that holds the secrets of the universe
The hues of rain-kissed meadows
A harmony of the colours of the ocean
A prism that paints the endless skies

But no one sees the beauty from within
For they're blinded by a pale-coloured skin
Skin that reflects the moonlight
Absorbs the serenity of the night

But who would've thought the day would come
When someone would blend with him
Giving his world its own colours
That he thought was all but a dream

Blue for warm caresses
Red for hungry kisses
Yellow like the warmth of sunlight
That equals every embraces

Eigengrau for the darkness
Where they lay naked and tangled
And when the morning comes
They are one, inseparable...

A shadow bathed in the light of the sun
A vibrant colour that once was none

Notes:

This is the first time that I've read something from suitesamba. Massive thanks to cwb on Twitter because if not for her tweet about the other work of the said author. I wouldn't be able to do this. So... I dedicate this one for her too.
