Title: Their Lives, Their World
Fandom: Dragon Ball GT
Summary: A man of nature, a woman of nurture, what they seek, and what they gain.
Pairing: Goten/Palace (Valese)
Green, blue, and rock
His life, his world
He follows the guidance of the earth
So much he learns
Through lotus flowers, he learns to smell
Through winding rivers, he learns to swim
Through exotic wildlife, he learns to live
Through the breeze, he learns to be free
In the wilderness where nature sings
He dances to its symphony
But fostered deep in his chest
Is an unquenchable fire burning wildly
He desires to comprehend more
Of the land beyond this eggshell called home
To meet new faces
Neither beastly nor known
He takes to the eternal sky
Wings spread out, his spirit rising high
The eagle rides the wind
Moving ever onward to what awaits yonder
Opportunity beckons him
Whispering a thousand promises
Mother Earth's disciple heeds the call
Setting foot on grounds tread by many
Among these wonders, his eyes are drawn to her
The ethereal beauty draped in treasure
Her radiant countenance is the moon's gift
Fit for a maiden from the black night
It is here that he finds his new life
An alluring mystery, housed in a palace
He chirps to her the melody from his heart
Seeing her sway fills his world in stars
Their fingers intertwine, so too their fates
She shows him the luxuries of human nature
To contemplate, to empathize, to socialize
By her qualities, his soul is defined
Still he has much to grasp
From the dove for whom he adores
He strives to attain his future
A dazzling world to cherish
Loud are the howling winds from home
Stronger are the fervent flames engulfing him whole
He asks for her hand, while offering his own
The constellations shine brighter after she accepts
Together they reach for the cosmos
Where the light they seek resides
Clinging to his human heart, he flies
Toward the gems beyond the clouds
Towering walls of marble and gold
Her life, her world
She is separated from the earth
So much she yearns
Behind glass, she yearns for adventure
From her luxurious cell, she wishes for freedom
Shackled in boredom, she desires change
Suffocating beneath authority, she wants to breathe
Within this place where love hurts
She contemplates the chance to escape
From the depths of her mind
Her imagination runs rampant
She sees a different world
Wafting cars, dazzling sights
And a charming romantic most of all
Princely in gallantry and spirit
Patient no longer, she breaks out from her cage
Riding the rhythm of life, heart chirping a tune
The dove soars beyond imposed limits
Venturing into an unknown realm
Her dream embraces her
Humming the tune of busy streets
Through visages of stone and glass, it smiles
Each bright with assurance for a novel future
In this paradise, she meets her greatest desire
A gentleman with serenades for a voice
Whose obsidian eyes reflect truth about the world
His disposition matches the brilliance of the sun
It is here that she finds her new life
A whirlwind of feathers, rising beyond heaven
She listens when he performs a concert
His charming tune guides her into the breeze
Their fingers intertwine, so too their fates
He enlightens her with notions of land, sea and sky
To stand her ground, to follow the flow, to soar high
By his teachings, her virtues are defined
Still she wants to grow closer
To the eagle for whom she pursues
She strives to realize her future
Seeking the promise for an eternal journey
Loud are the bellows of her jailers from afar
Stronger is her devotion to him and the stars
When she receives his offer to traverse life by his side
Her smile answers quicker than her cheerful cry
Together they reach for the cosmos
Where the light they seek resides
Clinging to her precious compass, she flies
Toward the realm beyond the clouds
