Yet another wierd poem/personal-rambling mix...
Guess the chara? If you don't get it, I'll put it at the end...

Moonlit Affirmation: By Monica Shin

/Drowning/

Drifting into the darkness of sleep, I reach next to me and touch flesh. 

/Warm/

Someone is nearby, close to my heart. It wakes me up, this unexpected
presence.

/Comfort.../

You've become too close to me- it should not have happened. I remember all,
now... 

/Why.../

We have done a forbidden thing. I open my eyes as I feel your grasp tighten
around me. 

/Surrender/

I let you move your arms around me. Let you, in your sleep-ensnared state,
wrap yourself around me, surrounding me with your sweet smell and your soft
skin.

/Silken/

You pillows your head against my chest, and I resist the urge to wake you
again, to-

/Need.../

It had been a moment's weakness. A stupid thing, from hindsight.

/You/

Yet somehow, I can't let you go. I can't help myself as I hold you close to
my heart, to me.

/Hold/

Looking down at your beautiful face, your lovely- absolutely wonderful-
totally exotic- and so-perfect dark hair, I'm struck at how the black of
those strands contrast so starkly with your almost-too pale skin, and with
my pale fall of hair.

/Me/

Seeing our my hair entangled with yours, I feel as if somehow, it's an
omen... perhaps-

/Captive./

I wish we could be together... I wish. 

/Tears./

Brushing away the wetness, I can't help but wonder when loving had become
forbidden... when rules had made it so truth must be suppressed.

/Feathers/

I hold you close to me, and close my eyes... tilting my head to the
moonlight of the now-clear sky, I smile.

/Drift./

Could we go away somewhere, run away to a field where flowers and sun would
be all we needed?

/Fall/

I shake my head at my idle thought. If that could happen... no. I
couldn't... we can never get away.

/Into/

Opening my eyes, I release my wings, letting them touch and wrap around
you, my love.

/Darkness/

Your shimmering mane of shadow falls against my pure-white wings... and
yet, I am the darkness to your light. My mistake...

/Into/

Holding you close to me, I lay one kiss on your lips. Soft, gentle. A
brushing of petals to an endless sky.

/Forever./

No matter what, I can't regret it. I won't regret it. In all my wishing, I
would not want this to go away.

/I/

I let my wings fold back, hiding them into my self again. 

/Love/

Looking down, I carefully place you next to me, in our own warm niche.

/You./

Holding you close to me, I close my eyes and call for slumber.

/Mine/

I ignore the tears that trickle down my face into your hair.

/Soul/

I ignore the pain in my heart that knows what I'm denying.

/Mate/

Instead, in a foolish way, I pledge myself to you. In the old, forbidden
way. Opening a small nick in your wrist, and one in mine- bonded. A small
lick, to close the wounds...

/Everlasting/

We are one forever, bound by touch and love and blood exchanged. 

/Oath./

An angel must never make a promise that he cannot keep. It is a dishonesty
that will not help him fulfill his function.

/Never/

But I swear this pledge anyway. Another idiocy... I know that I will not be
able to honor it in full... we will not be allowed to do so.

/Forget./

It does not matter what comes. It is impossible to expect anything beyond
what we will get if discovered... but I will not forsake this. I will not
forget us. 

/Always/

Sleep finally beckons to me as I sigh into your embrace. You presence is
entwined around me and pulls me deeper. I smile again as you guide me to
our short peace.

/Remember./

Sleep is nothing more than a little Death.
A smaller peace.
