Description Full title: I meet you on a battlefield of wildflowers. [Uesugi Kenshin]


I meet you on a battlefield of wildflowers.


Your gaze is a magnet I call useless.
(Though you’re right, I have no right to say that.)
It’s nothing to be treasured if it attracts things like
wilted petals, or bleeding horses, or lifeless victories - all things without meaning -
or me.
A laugh.
The breeze blows with a hopeless hope.


Your embrace is nothing but non-existent warmth.
It seizes my heart, and for a moment I feel comfort and home and all things forbidden.
(For this world is broken.)
In my ear you give me a command to hide, to run, to flee.
But with my will in grasp I doubt there’s a point.
A sigh.
The air is filled with heart-wrenching joy.
     

Your words are a device made to destroy.
And because of that I allow myself closer.
From peace and safety and all things of which you say I’m deserving.
I look to you.
A whisper of i love you in my ear.
A blink.
The world is coloured in broken promises.

     

I smile at its face.


Your breath is smoke in my lungs.
I inhale and taste the scent of sandalwood and metal and blood - all things you.
An exhale.
And the wind steals you away.

HAHA, would I have written this if I didn't play it?

YESSSS I love the game so much! It's been my life the past 6+ months, and I've already finished both of Yukimura's and Hideyoshi's routes, and everyone else's dramatic routes, hehe. My favourite route is Masamune's though!!! Who's your favourite guy?

lol you never know, I have seen some people write fics for characters based off just pictures before without every seeing/playing the games or anything.

LOL I have finished the dramatic route for all characters currently out, now I am working on the romantic routes for all of them. LOL as much as I adore Masamune, I think my favorite at the moment would be Hideyoshi XD He is so doting, it's adorable~

;;; Well, I don't think people should do that... I mean, they wouldn't even know the characters' personality... But if it works for them, that's great, I guess!

Omg hahaha we've finished about the same amount of routes XD I'm working on all their romantic routes too. Ahh Hideyoshi is adorable!! Personally I find all the guys lovable... Except maybe Kennyo, because I feel like we rarely get to know a lot of his personality? Like sure we see him in the different routes but ehhhh.... I dunno.

Yea, I am in agreement there.

lol nice! I tend to go for the drama first, but Nobunaga's dramatic route was pretty heartwrenching. xD well for Kennyo, I have seen a few of the side stories for him....He could be a good person deep down, he is just so intent on revenge and his hatred, that he is pretty blinded to much else.

Omg... Ikr... the thumbnail picture looks so good TT

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! I rarely post my poems like this, but I was really proud of this one, so... Hehe.

YEAH. THE GAME!! TELL ME ABOUT IT!! I need kenshin's route so badly, why is it not out in the English version AHHH. I've finished both of Yukimura's and Hideyoshi's routes, and everyone else's dramatic routes... Needless to say, I am absolutely addicted... coughs. Ikemen sengoku has been my life the past... 6 months? Ouch.

It really does!

You're very welcome!

I hope his is the next one after Shingen, those two. DAMN!
Currently I'm on Nobunaga's route (I'm starting to feel obsessed
with the man) xD
Hideyoshi is such an adorable cinnamonroll! He's so damn cute!

Ahhh same! XD I'm so ready for my Kenshin... Give it to me already TT. They seem to be following the order of the Japanese release (for the different routes) so I think they're gonna do Shingen, Kenshin, Mitsunari in that order!

Which routes have you completed? Nobunaga's route got me falling for Nobunaga HARD. Urghhhh he needs to be protected kjasdhkashd-- Masamune's route is still my favourite one though XD I'm just too weak for guys like Masamune LOL. Omg ikr... Hideyoshi TT If only guys like him were easier to find in real life... Is Hideyoshi your favourite guy?

I can hardly wait for Shingen and Kenshin!
I need them!!! xD

I'm at the end of Nobunaga's route. And it's still the first one I'm
doing xD
I always feel silly because I want the extra scenes you get from the
in game currency items xD (I blame that on my obsession with achievements
and collecting things in other games. It's like a OCD for me)
It's honestly the same in ALL games I play that's like Ikemen xD
I think I'm at the last place where you need to buy an item to progress, and
I would have done it already, but I got into economical problems so it's an
invulentary pause xD
I'm a bit torn on who to go with after I'm done though. It's between
Yukimura, Masamune and Hideyoshi. I can't pick! D:
Same, guys that are like Masamune and Nobunaga, they get to me somehow,
it's my kryptonite xD
Hideyoshi is just so AAAAAA!!! He's way to sweet and adorable!!
So yea, he's the favorite Though I have a feeling Kenshin will sneak
up there as well xD
