Author's note: Taking a breather from my usual stories of unrequited love, mental disorders, and painful pleasure, I wrote a lovely composition with thoughts of only pure love and trust. Besides, I feel a bit guilty for always making Ryou's Yami out to be the bad guy, so I felt I owed it to them to construct a poem of this caliber. All right, I know that Yami Bakura isn't exactly the most romantic individual Ryou has ever come across, but I like to imagine that they share a special bond that even Yugi and his millennium spirit can't keep up with. It's nice to dream, ne? -^_^-

Disclaimer: Nothing really major this time…just yaoi between Ryou x Yami Bakura. Sweet sap is littered throughout this piece of literature, but in a mature, adult manner.

On Sacred Grounds

Lovely as a mother's lullaby

Enchanting as a fairy

Time can continue to pass me by

So I can hear the bewitching melody

Of that sensual siren-like voice

Only a mythical being could invent

Making archangels rejoice

A piece of heaven has been sent

The gods have outdone themselves

Bringing his to Earth

Intriguing ingredients from their shelves

Caused divine intervention to be his birth

Star light lies in his eyes

Combined with flecks of gold

Reminding me of a sweet sunrise

That could never leave me cold

Accompanied by an innocent smile

Resembling the pure heart of a child

Even immortals like Venus he can beguile

Gorgeous goddess, he's so wild

Unable to be contained

Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

Never can he be tamed

This Desert Rose reigning over sand dunes

Creating an exit to Eden

Gorgeous gardens in the desert

Trapping ordinary men and women

Within his luscious landscape, the flirt

Playing with his captives

Just like mere dolls

What they wouldn't give

To hear his soft, breathy calls

Or those cries of pleasure

Ravenous animal sounds

Forbidden phrases to treasure

Taking each other on sacred grounds

Needing and wanting him so

Heavy-lidded passion

I won't force myself to let go

Lovemaking in a gentle fashion

So beautiful and blessed

Wistful whispers in blindness

Our love we have confessed

Pushing aside all Christians' single-mindedness

Adorable affection

Two grade school-like males

Content in their selection

Ready to narrate their own tales

Altruistic Arabian princess

My magic carpet mistress

Nights of mine are never sleepless

Dreaming of your prowess

Mystical medieval maiden

Slay the dark dragons in my soul

So I don't remember them

Don't permit Death to take Her toll

Striking seraph, stunning seraph

Make me yours to keep

Sultry seraph, seductive seraph

In your arms I'll sleep

For I am yours and yours alone

Desperately I beg you

Loneliness I don't condone

Let there be an eternity of rendezvous
