Title: Brotherly Love (poem)

Genre: general

Word count: 126

Fandom: Inuyasha, Inu/ Sess

Prompt: Brotherly Love

For: Alterfano, my lovely!

You were unblessed,

Born in squalor,

Powerless,

Weak

Yet you are my brother

Our father gave you

The love you needed

The sword I wanted

And left me naught

Yet you are my brother

Impulsive, insane

Foolish and almost

Naïve

And brave?

Yet you are my brother

Strong-willed, loyal

Caring, and true friend,

Our father’s son,

You truly are

My brother

Born in castles,

Blessed by the world,

Loved by father

And yet not

You are my brother

Covetous, violent

Proud, and vain

Power-lustful,

And foolish hater

You are my brother

Dangerous foe,

Once-friend of my enemy,

Angry, unjust

And disloyal to our father’s memory

Yet you are my brother

Brave, strong, a worthy foe

Caring for a child,

Compassionate

You truly are

My brother
