Tigress' Voltron Poems

[Tigress]

Thoughts through a Cat's Eye

Allura, how I want you.
But your friends always keeps you away from me
Why, oh why do they show up?
One of these days I hope they will be gone,
Then you'll be mine.
I know you hate me,
I remind you of my father.
If you were to be my queen,
I would stop all fighting on Arus
And release your people.
But you never give me that chance.
What can I do to get you to love me?
How can I keep Voltron from forming?
Why does my father want your planet so much?
So many questions that can't be answered.
When I see you, I see my mother.
She was once a lovely lady,
With grace and beauty and very kind.
She brought the sunlight in from a cloudy day.
But she ruthlessly killed,
In front of me when I was a boy.
Now all I see is evil.
Any good that was in me will never return,
Unless you marry me, Allura.
The one person who really angers me,
Is that Voltron leader, Keith
Why does he protect you so much?
It's as if he's your personal body guard.
He protects you more than the others do.
Does he have feelings for you that can't be expressed?
That is a mystery.

Allura's Feelings

Here I stand on my balcony
Wondering if there ever will be peace.
I look out at the horizon and see the sun set
And think of all the times we defeated Zarkon.
One day there will be peace
But until that day
My friends and I fight Zarkon.
I wake up every morning
Feeling tired and don't want to fight.
I go to the launch area, prepared for combat training.
There waiting at the lifts are my friends,
From there we head to the lions.
As we fly our lions, in training,
I think about what life could have been like
Without my friends and Voltron.
I've been doing this routine now for 2 years
And if I stop now, it would feel weird.
Through out the course of the day, I think of Keith.
I love him but I'm a princess and he's a pilot.
Someday, I will win dealing with traditions and protocols,
And have a chance to marry Keith.
Once in a while we are attacked,
By the latest Robeast from Planet Doom.
We head to the lions and fight,
And Voltron is formed
We defeat the Robeast.
Another day has gone by
And yet Coran and Nanny are at me
Regarding the code of behavior
I wish they would stop nagging me
About being a proper princess.
At the end of the day,
I stand on this balcony.
It's the only time of day I get to myself.
Here I can dream of what life can be like,
If I play my cards right.
As the evening comes to a close,
I think of my dream prince
Who wears a red flight suit.
Beside me, my mice sit on my shoulders,
As I wish on a falling star,
And soon I will get ready for bed.
As I fall asleep,
My mind drifts to a young man
Who flies Black Lion
And has jet-black hair.
