Introduction

Hello! I'm back with another DeltaSea post! If you don't know what DeltaSea is, it's an AU made by my good friend wiki!

Anyway, since KingKaard is a canon ship in this AU, I decided to write a poem about them together in the past. I wrote this poem from the perspective of the King, and I hope you find it interesting!

Finally, much thanks to Scorch and commissions right now, in case you want some art as well.

Thank you for reading my poem, and I hope you find some enjoyment in it! Happy reading!

Edit: Thank you so much for the feature!

Poem

In the reflection of your shining eyes,

I see enough beauty for a thousand lives.

I see a shock, crimson coral below

Holds a striking allure, as your eyes show.

And the rich, empty, blue ocean surrounds

Us in a comfort nowhere else allows.

Bright points of light shine over the image

Tears made of gemstone burst from your visage.

“‘Tis they, dub us too frightening, forsooth!

But ‘tis the way of the world, since mine youth.”

The arms of despair wrap around, closing in.

My own arms wrap around, comforting him.

Release your fears of the world, yes, to me,

For I will listen and let you be free,

Let you drift down from a height of feeling,

Too lost to find simple truth and healing—

That, I will provide.

“Say, too frightening?

Well, as they see, we are two frightening.

They must wonder the feel of my sharp teeth,

But they smell but fear, nothing else beneath.

They must imagine the taste of your sting.

“But, you and I, we know better, thinking

That we are more than just two frightening.

Isn’t that enough?”

“‘Tis only quite tough.”

But he calmed enough to speak clarity,

And, thus, we hold ourselves up, to be free.

And, thus, from our embrace, a thought flies through:

Not even two frightening, we are but two.

I pull back, slightly; he looks up in fear

Of abandonment, my hatred, my sneer,

But my eyes are nothing but deep, sincere.

His eyes, recovering from his last tear,

I look into them, understand his pain.

And another stray thought flies to my brain.

His eyes hold less than desire to resist.

We in our gazes, then in our lips.

A shock, not of pain, but rather, of art,

Still transmits a jolt to my brain, to my heart,

My eyes held shut in the moment’s great show,

ion as red as the coral below.

Arms gripping tighter, his wrapping me, too,

We hold ourselves in this expanse of blue.

Two souls found each other in pieces around,

Fixed the other, made whole, then they found

Emotions they held, developed, unsaid

Until they shone forth upon this sea bed.

Certainly, they were us; they are us, too,

They are us. We release back to the blue.

Eyes wide, hearts racing, faces held so close,

I realize him who I cherish the most,

Cherish as much as a treasure so bright,

He shares my adoration. Oh tonight!

Tonight I find my love’s feelings unfurled!

I will protect him from this wicked world,

Gaining enough power to see him succeed

And find acceptance he so sorely needs.

“O! ‘Tis a gift, wrapped so elegantly

That I shouldst open with care, set it free.

‘Tis wonder, sire, you bestow to me.

I thank you, sire, for the love I see.”

“No need for thanks, for my love is for you.”

And we again, for we are but two.
