A Warrior's Poetry

I saw the second Inuyasha movie, "The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass," and I enjoyed hearing these "poems" so I decided to post them.

To meet nevermore.
Tears of sorrow overflow deep within my heart.
What good, this potion of life?
All is but dust in the wind...

Oh, arrow of mine,
With power pure and immense to slay the dragon.
Do your good deed fast and swift.
Grasp the crystal in its neck.

I ventured to see if what I had heard was true,
but this jeweled sprig with leaves so real,
‘twas nothing more than an empty promise.

The white hot flames of my love for you
cannot burn this cloth of fur.
My raiment, sleeves dried of tears,
now on this day I don.

Could you have but known but that it would burn so swiftly,
this raiment of fur,
you would not have then sat with such little show of concern.

Time has past swiftly as I have waited to see the shell you promised.
They say that I wait in vain.
Could this be so?

I hope to find the gleam of the fallen dew,
but nothing can I see.
Why did you go yonder to mount Ogura?
