> Discord's Haikus > by TheOnlySaneDraconequus > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > I put the ways I love you into syllables > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This journal from her Was very unexpected, But still a nice gift. What to do with it? Fill it with my life story? Cram in a few poems? Yes, some poetry. Not much, and not to be shared. Maybe … just with her. She is so special! I treasure her company And drink her beauty. As beautiful as As she is on the outside Her soul glows with warmth. She is sunshine and Overflowing Kindness I Don’t think I deserve. Through my silly tricks And attempts to make her laugh She puts up with me. She helped me to see The good in me and others Something I had lost. How do I tell her The way I the feel around her? Words can’t be enough. “Oh, Fluttershy, my Friend who saved me from myself I think I love you?” No. That’s terrible. Think Discord! You should know this! Why is it so hard?! The butter yellow Of her fur outshines the sun, Maybe I’ll start there? Her cloud-soft pink mane Would put gardens of roses To shame. She should know. The blue of her eyes Is like a perfect clear sky All around us. Her laughter makes her Choirs of songbirds sound like A bad coughing fit. She is beauty and Kindness in one, a perfect Creature in all ways. No. This won’t work well. I should quit while I’m ahead. Why do I bother? She couldn’t love me If I was the last creature There could be for her. Damn it all! I can’t! I cannot hide these feelings! I dearly love her. I could try to write A letter simply stating What I want to say. No. That won’t do. I could try a magic trick! Give her my chaos. Yes, that’s brilliant! She couldn’t refuse me if I change things a bit. Just a bit, not much. I wouldn’t go too crazy. Just show her I care. I could make the stars Dance in the shape of her name! She’d surely love that! Who can I request Give me advice on how to Woo the mare I love? Guy’s Night is coming Up soon, I could ask them both! If they’ll talk with me. No, that won’t manage To line up right, tomorrow Is Hearts’ and Hooves’ Day! I must tell her then! Or else I’ll wait one more year. That must not happen. How do I do this? A nice suit and a dinner? Movie she can choose? I suppose roses Would be an acceptable Way to say I care. There must be a way. If I wasn’t so nervous, It would be done now. Well, maybe not now. I could wait a year or two. Or a decade more. Stallion up, Discord! You’re telling her in one hour, Or never at all. Why am I sweating? It’s just a simple statement! That … will change my life. I - *Knock, Knock* “Who’s there?” “I came to visit you, I Hope now’s good for you!” “Fluttershy my dear! Callooh Callay! Can you stay So we can talk soon?” “Of course! I’d love to! Oh! You’re using the journal! I’m happy for you!” I kick it away. I don’t want her to see it. Not until I’m ready. Maybe poetry Will help her see the way I see her beauty. But for now, it waits. I have more important things I must say right now. “Fluttershy, will you-?” I can’t say what I need to! Why won’t my mouth work?! I sigh and retry. “Fluttershy, I think I love you.” Can’t take it back now! “I’ve always loved you. Ever since you showed me the Magic of friendship. I tried to fight it, Or deny what it might be, But the truth is out. I didn’t know what I felt Until I realized It’s you Who makes me happy. Who puts up with me. Who treats me like a person And not a monster. You are the sweetest, Most amazing pony I’ve Ever met. It’s true. If you don’t want to, I understand, but please let Me make you happy. The way you’ve made me. I think we could make this work. It’s crazy but true. I don’t know what else to say that could be better. Please don’t shut me out.” Her mouth is open, Her eyes wide with amazement. She won’t speak yet. Rather than answer, She walks over and then flies To be near my face. I can’t read her face. Then she nuzzles me sweetly. “I hoped you would ask.” She smiles sweetly. Gods, the sunlight in her mane Lights the whole room up. What could I have done To deserve such happiness From the mare I love? My heart beats so fast I can barely hear my thoughts. “Thank you, my angel.” Her lips draw closer To mine, meeting perfectly. My first ever kiss! Fireworks go off, Making me jump in surprise. Magic can be strange. It’s not unpleasant For my magic to surprise Me in a new way. We part, wanting more. We might take things slow for now. But she loves me back. She smiles glowingly. “Do you want to spend tomorrow Figuring it out?” I quickly nod yes. “Does this make me your coltfriend?” I ask eagerly. She laughs like a song. “You’re much more than that to me. I’m glad you told me. I felt the same way. It’s funny how life works out. Yes, I will date you.” My heart starts to soar. I should shout from the rooftops, “She said she loves me!” I thought that friendship Was the best magic there was But love is better. Love can make you see All the things that were hidden Waiting to be found. Thank you, my journal For recording this moment. The perfect moment. Perhaps I should share The secret things you hold dear With my newfound love. But for now, I have Preparations I must make! A day just for her. Tomorrow will be Special, this I promise you. But today is too.
