Her eyes as bright as the moon that lifts the tide
Like a dance partner
From whom I cannot hide….
She lifts my spirit
To disinhibit
That landlocked part of me
That’s longing to be free…
She flows within me:
Be it little stream meandering
And branching, permeating
Every corner of my soul;
Or waterfall quaking and crashing,
Ever-gently breaking and smashing
Every chain around my heart she stole…
She mends every hole
The battle doth impale in me,
Except the one that Cupid’s dart
Made her a part
Of me; her loving hands repair
All that is frail in me;
Completing me,
Reviving me,
Who knows no greater care….
For Destiny is never done
Even by the so-called “One”;
The Journey incomplete
When he is all alone;
An entity unreplete
When he is on his own….
For without my sweet Katara,
I am just another avatar.
Ooooh-la-la: Katara!
Why do I want you so?
If you are my friend,
Why do you make me dream no end?
If you are my teacher,
Why do I see you as my peach—err …
If you are my sifu,
Why does my heart race for you?
If you are a couple of years older,
Why does my passion smoulder
Inside me—
Drive me krazy?
Why, why, why, Katara?
What kind of Avatar
Am I, I, I, Katara?
If you are but a waterbender,
Why does my heart feel so tender,
As if you bent it with your eyes,
Your touch, your kiss?
When will you realize
That I feel such painful bliss
For you, the one I miss,
Even if you stepped away like this
Every second, every hour,
I wish you would shower
Me with your affection,
‘Cos yours is my undivided attention!
Drop dead, Aang!
Your energy, in quiet and calm
That emanates from your fingertips
And quenches the fire on my lips;
The soothing balm that melts my pain:
Your tenderness that removes all strain;
Your loving touch that heals
My wounds, your boundless heart that reveals
All your beauty and warmth to me,
Dissolving every painful memory,
Rebuilding my shattered soul
Of glass, into a jewel whole….
Your smile is the sun by day,
The moon by night;
Your hair billowing as the trees that play
In the wind, the flight
Of your spirit, so close to mine,
Engulfing my being, making me shine;
Your voice, the music that lifts my heart;
Your embrace that holds me from tearing apart….
Your eyes meet mine—
A moment,
A lifetime—
An eternity…
And I am made complete in thee!
"Please....sleep--for me."
In the night’s warm embrace;
Let all fears be resolved,
All tears wiped from your face….
Let the moon and the stars
Watch over your bedplace;
Let the wars of previous avatars
Fade out without trace....
Let the blanket of darkness
Put your weary eyes to rest,
Rid your mind of the madness
That puts you to the test—
Let the water of my love
Be, to you, the balm
Of healing, to lift your spirit above
And immerse your heart with calm….
Let the sweetness of sleep
Free your soul from dominion;
Let your whole being sink deep
Into blissful oblivion!
Each night you are
Deep within my dream....
Your soft caress,
Your tenderness,
Your smile of moonlight gleam--
Enchanting eyes
That hypnotize
Electrify my soul;
Lips of passion--
Chain reaction--
You make my half-being whole!
Let the sun's warm touch in each new day,
And birdsong around you in its own way;
Let the tender caress of this airbender's breeze
That tinkles through the leaves of the trees;
Let your dreams that come with the moon's pearl light
And Ba Sing Se's lights that beam through the night;
Let the far-flung light of every star
Remind you: "How beautiful, how wonderful you are!"
