Dawn or Dusk and by tigerseye
Author's Notes:
I put two poems in under one heading in order to meet minimum words. Poems are not related. I love reviews.
I do not own Naruto =_=
Dawn or Dusk

The sun is low
An array of colors
Dye the sky

He is dead
His secret is revealed
What is his true wish

Is it dawn
Is this the beginning of day
At last

Is it dusk
Will black soon bathe world
In it’s blanket

I will always be here
By your side
Whatever you choose

I only want
To see you happy
No matter what it coasts me

You must decide
What shape this world
Will take

Love or hate
Beginning or end
Destroy or save

Who are you Sasuke
Deep within
What are these colors foreshadowing

Dawn
Or
Dusk

A/n:If you couldn’t tell this poem takes place shortly after Itachi’s death. Narrated by Karin it’s about everyone’s favorite emo boy and how his choice in this moment will shape the entire world… it kinda just rephrases what is already said in the anime/manga and adds a metaphor.
----------------------------------------------------------

I am hated
Everyone despises me
Avoids me
Because of things I didn’t even want

Time goes by

You will see me
My hands are stained with blood
To revenge on the one that put me here
I have things I by no means want

Then years pass

I stand tall
I’m different now
I am strong
I still have things I never wanted

The clock keeps ticking

I am who I wanted to be
I understand the things I didn’t before
I know how low I sunk
I can change the things I don’t want

Many things change but time still marches forward

I am Naruto Uzumaki
I am Sabaku no Gaara
I am Sasuke Uchiha
We never asked for these things but we have them now

A/n: if you don’t get it
1st line: Naruto
2nd line: Gaara
3rd line: Sasuke
End Notes:
Please review
You showed me by tigerseye
Author's Notes:
Here's another poem, this one is from Naruto's perspective.
You showed me

Through a reaching hand you showed me
What it is to look at the world
What it is to believe in someone

Through icy storm you showed me
What it is to truly live only for another
What it is to die for another

Through your fists you showed me
What it is to be trapped in yourself
What it is to hate what you cannot escape

Through the rain of blood you showed me
What it is to have someone else like you
What it is to lose control

Through shining a crystal you showed me
What it is to have lost those most precious to you
What it is to lose hope

Through crimson red eyes you showed me
What it is to be consumed by the darkness
What it is see only your goal

You all showed me things
And now it’s my turn
To show you something


i have to add more words to make this long enough tonfa word minimum does't stop me; you do not need to read:

the first person is Iruka-san, second is Haku-chan, then Negi-san, then Gaara-kun then Tusande, (I'm pretty sure I spelled her name wrong) and then Sasuke (hate him with all my heart)
End Notes:
Review!! sorry about the ramble at the end
Chapter 3 by tigerseye
Author's Notes:
Ok, not super happy with this one but I'm posting it anyways!

I do not own Naruto. If I did things would be... different...yeah let's go with that...
The sparrow seeks acceptance
It will follow the one it choses, forever
A soft sad song, burned forever into the hearts of those who hear it
Through the snowy gales of winter

The phoenix will fall again and again
But will always rise
On the wind through the fire
Gifting light to those who see it

The hawk lives only for the hunt
Once it has lost its purpose it will find a new one
It lives on the path of hate
A winged killer who can be used but never truly tamed

The crow is always there
Never to fade
Cries of pain and murderous intent
A shadow much larger than the bird itself

The sparrow sings its song to the Phoenix
The hawk soars above the sparrow
The hawk and Phoenix clash
The Crow attacks the Phoenix
The Hawk leaves its nest

The Phoenix grows
The Hawk grows
The Crow waits

The Hawk and Phoenix clash once again
The hawk leaves its new nest
The Hawk soars above the crow
The Crow reveals its wisdom on dying breath

I am adding words to make this longer. I am mad at Sasuke. Sai is cute sometimes. I liked homicidal Gaara. Puppies!
End Notes:
Ok, if you think you know who each of the birds is review and I'll tell you if your right! I'll tell you in the author's note of my next poem!
Burning Sand and For You by tigerseye
Author's Notes:
Ok, two new poems :)
First the riddle from my last chapter
Haku was the sparrow (I have an... obsession with him and he is shown with a sparrow on his finger once)
Naruto was the phenoix (rise again)
Sasuke was the hawk (If you didn't get that one I'm going to smack you over the head with an extra thick copy of the manga and scream TAKA at you at the top of my lungs, not really ;) I'm more peaceful than that)
Itachi was the crow (his signature technique)
This one is titled For You

-------

I stained the white of you’re innocence with the blood of our kin
For the village
I set you on a path of lonely hate
For my own selfish desire to die by your hand
Hurt you’re friends
For the Akatsuki
I allied myself with the Akatsuki to find out their plans
For the village

Sometimes when I look back I think that maybe
If I had just chosen to flee the village with you
Had told you the truth
Protected you from the elders
Maybe things would have turned out better
But I guess now
As I strain my weak eyes to see your face one last time
We will never know
If there was a better way

I should have put you first
I am sorry Sasuke
I should have done everything
For you

If you do one thing
For me
Please, don’t make my mistakes
Find a better way
For you
Sasuke
Find a better way
For you

-------

If you couldn't tell it was my take on Itachi's thoughts before sasuke killed him, It's part of my 'thoughts on Sasuke' poem, each one takes someones perspective on Sasuke during an event, the other one you've seen is 'dawn or dusk'

-------

This one is titled Burning Sand

-------


I can cry
I do love
I feel emotions
I get mad
I am like you

Even with this thing inside me
There are still some people who see past that
I am not the demon in me

I over power this fire with my wind
A light to others
I’m not smart
I care
I will pierce the darkness
Illuminate the world with my light
I am strong

I push through this blistering sand
Find my own path
Lead my people on a better path
I will shine with the infinite light
Of one who has been lost in the darkness

-------

yeah, it's a Naruto and Gaara one.
