Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach. However, like everyone else here, I wish I did. D

Note: This free-verse poem is written from one lover to the other. However, this complicates things a little for people that haven't had the opportunity to see or read much of the Bleach anime or manga. If you're not into the fourteenth or fifteenth manga, if you haven't seen up to probably episode 45, or if you're doing your hardest not to ruin things for yourself, please don't read the spoiler note at the bottom revealing what one is writing this to his love. The poem itself does not spoil things, though. I hope you enjoy this!

Wistful

Lover of mine,

I've been so alone.

Without the warmth of your smile,

the years are so long, so dull.

My heart aches to hear your

beautiful voice,

like honey clinging,

thick and sweet,

on your lips.

I long for those, too, you know.

Your tender kisses on my skin,

perfecting me.

Golden eyes gaze deep within,

piercing my soul, knowing

every word I want to say to you,

before they pass these lips.

Your touch,

that loving caress given to none but me…

makes me tremble,

makes me faint.

You make me weak with adoration,

and in this world and the next,

I am captivated by none but you.

So stay with me tonight,

my Lover.

Let the midnight be

ours alone,

let us not allow this time to

leave us listless.

Let us open our hearts to

pour out our love that

outshines the moonlight and

outshines the starlight and

let us drink deeply.

And when the night is over,

rosy fingers of dawn

clawing away the deep blue of our bliss,

I know my heart will ache again.

Like the petals on the wind,

you are gone,

leaving only your

sweet scent behind.

I long for our next meeting, though,

and will savor these memories until

you are back in my arms again,

my dear Beloved.

Note: Alright, if you've made it this far, I suppose you want to know who the lovers are. This was a love poem written from Kisuke Urahara to the beautiful Yoruichi…such a sweet couple. nn If you read this and enjoyed it, I would love a review! 3
