Disclaimer: I neither own Fruits Basket nor the Fruits Basket characters. They are the property of Natsuki Takaya.

I should have a couple of new chapters posted very soon for IOR but this is an experiment and since the idea wouldn't go away and let me concentrate, I decided what the heck!

Poetry is not my strong suit, but I would like to know what people think about these. Eventually I hope to add a few others, but for now, this chapter and the first are as far as my inspiration would take me.

Thanks for reading, I hope you'll review. I'd like to know how I did. Thanks.

Chapter 2 Yuki

Her Smile…

Her smile is the world's greatest treasure

Her happiness my desire beyond all measure.

She saw in me my insecurity

She looked behind my false façade

And she accepted me.

All my life I've waited for someone

To love me as I am, to be my golden sun.

Her joy is the refreshing rain

Her laughter penetrates my dark despair

And dissolves all my pain.
