This came from an exercise for short evocative poetry, ala Haiku in concept

FIN I

sweet smile

soul thief

Akemi

FIN II

"at last,

redemption,

peace."

how could I refuse her?

FIN III

by my side,

yet still

I sail alone

Gabrielle

A blond halo

above sea-green eyes

and cherry lips

"thud"

Awake now;
but cherishing the touch
of gossamer lips
in my dreams

Gabrielle of Poteidaia
