Zum Geburtstag!
Happy Birthday, frodosweetstuff!
When it comes to birthday gifts for on-line fanfic friends, there’s no better gift than fanfic itself. Or possibly even a little poetry, in honor of one’s OTP. A sonnet.
DEEP IMPACT
“A meteor landed before me.” The dream of a king
Who learned that the friend of his soul was now in his land.
The French call it foudre - love like a bolt that can bring
as much pain as the passion. Like picking up fire in your hand.
Not for this timid spirit, made dusty by lessons learned hard,
By a boyhood of pain spent in fear, by the fetters I wore.
Protection, trustworthiness: These were my guide and my guard.
I paced my routine - till a comet smashed open my door.
Old soul in youth’s body, a lighting bolt out of the blue,
You leaped in my arms, and that day you leapt into my heart.
I am struck, I am foolish with freedom. I stumble with you,
Cross thin ice and dangerous landscape. Not safe. Not apart.
Together, let us two ascend to the peak of desire;
When a stone out of Heaven hits rock-solid Earth, there is fire.
