Plumes of Blood

---------------

Long, red shafts
Swaying silently, on the careless breeze

Why are they so red?
The thing that separates Battousai from all,
Alas, his blood-red hair

He fights as a demon,
But living as a human being, he is something much more.

Much more,
He is a human, stained with the blood of the innocent.
That kind of blood, will never confide.
Nor will any.

Assassination?
Blood. Sin.

Torture?
Blood. Guilt.

Himura Kenshin, known as Battousai
The blood-shedding demon.

So many deaths, of crimson rain
Will never clear.

Where did it go?

The hair of crimson blood..
The scar of lament's flood...

:-) you like??? well, I think it might be a little scitter-scattered, but is it still a good poem?? i believe every poem has a message, but this poem does'nt really get it through until the end!! BUT.........it's mainly about Kenshin's blood-stained hair :-P

and the name, "Plumes of Blood" the idea came from toilet marauder's "White Plums" :O)
yes, and I'm fully aware that "plumes" sounds like "plums" but it's still a different word!!! !!!!!!! n-nx
