oPPoSiteS
(Told from Allen's POV)

When I was young
I learned this thing
Called 'opposites' --
Words that were
Completely different
From one another.
There were ones
Like
Up and down,
Big and small,
Smile and frown,
Short and tall,
In and out,
Dark and light,
Good and evil,
Black and white.

And all this was
Completely clear
To me.

But as I grew older,
Things got more complicated.
There were new opposites,
Like
Innocence and akuma
Black Order and Clan of Noah
Millenium Earl and exorcist.
And in the beginning
These new opposites
Seemed just like the ones
Of my childhood
Just as cut and dry
And clear and simple
As in and out,
Dark and light,
Good and evil,
Black and white.

But soon I realized
That in reality
Things are never
Clear and simple
The way I'd always thought.
Because sometimes shadows darken the day
And sometimes black and white turn gray.
And sometimes things aren't what they seem:
Not 'opposite', but in between.

So here I sit, left to ponder
Where my place is
In this confusing gray world.
Will I be a member of the Black Order or
Sit at the table of the Noah?
Will I serve the Millenium Earl or fight him as an exorcist?
Will I be in or out?
Dark or light?
Good or evil?
Black or white?

Or somewhere in between?

Nice! You did a good job of expressing Allen's confusion, and this poem pretty much sums up one of the main themes of DGM - shades of grey. Keep up the good work!

[moonlight_sonata]

thank you!
I plan to write a lot more stuff for this forum : this poor, horribly deprived forum!
I mean, weve got a good start here ( Cubias poem was really good too!) but we need MORE!!!!!!!

[HeavenlyFantasy]

I know! It's a real shame there are so few fanfics, I'd write some if I had any ideas. I'll try to come up with something.

[moonlight_sonata]

hmmm...whos your fav character?

[HeavenlyFantasy]

Hard to choose, there are loads of characters I like, but I'd say Lavi. I should try writing something from his POV.

[moonlight_sonata]

A Lavi fan?! Oh,thats perfect!!!

I've wanted to co write a Lavi fanfic for a while.
Do you want to write one with me?
*pretty please?*

[HeavenlyFantasy]

Yeah! I'd love to co-write one.

[moonlight_sonata]

so now...ideas?

I was thinking doing Lavi and a Finder girl and then somehow making it forbidden (because apparently forbidden love is how everyone gets their thrills these days...*cough* Twilight *cough, cough*)

And of course, if you dont want to do something serious, we could do something random, like Lavi snooping through peoples rooms and being a panty thief or something odd like that XD

[HeavenlyFantasy]

Sounds good to me. I'm not a Twilight fan any more (Breaking Dawn ruined it for me) but forbidden love can be a great theme if it's done right.

You know how Lavi's not supposed to get close to anyone, being the next Bookman? I don't think I've seen that taken into account in a Lavi x OC fanfic. So the Finder girl could have feelings for him but go out of her way not to let them show, as she doesn't want to get in the way of his ambition. Then he somehow finds out. So they have to keep their relationship a secret. Maybe there could be something else that makes their love forbidden, I don't know. I'm going to have to put some thought into this.
