A/N: I just whipped this up; see if you can guess who/what Hiei is speaking of and to here. So I suppose it's a riddle within a poem… though it should be pretty straightforward.
SerenityI can feel your soft caress
The warmth you bring to me is soothing.
I could never survive without your light
The lingering brightness guides my way.
You speak to me in the darkness
Gently blowing my fears away.
Your message is nothing if not clear
Simplicity breeds peace of mind.
All inside yourself you stay
And yet spread so much outward.
Parts of you flow over me like waves
I long to bask on the shore of your beauty.
Touching me with warm breath
You comfort that which takes none.
Nothing for granted as you share yourself
As much as I want I can have of you.
Companionship is what you offer to me
A place where I can know I belong.
Nothing is wasted, nor left unknown
As you hide no secret motives, no lies.
Though doors may be closed to others
In you sweep like a cleansing flood.
All of my impurities are absolved
Dropped to the floor as forgotten memories.
I am purified in your radiance
Made perfect in the rays of your brilliance.
In the afterglow my guilt is assuaged
Perfect serenity I have found, only in you.

A/N: Like it? In case you were still unsure and wondering, Hiei is meant to be speaking to fire; specifically, the fire that he controls and makes his own in battle and in training. I was just staring into the little flickering flame of my candle one night, and this just made sense. Review, please!
