Welcome To Forever

We are dangerous together
coiled in our passion spell
daring the night to swallow us whole
We flow through and fall into each other
until the membranes which hold us together become extinct
and we are left pressing harder against ourselves
against our oneness
against the night

My love for you
is an ocean of fire
continually drowning my soul in a wave of flames
Flames which burn higher, glow brighter
with each passing moment
with each breath I take

I am consumed by you
by your beauty
forever fumbling in my own adoration
and constantly amazed by the depth of your love for me
A love stronger than anything I've ever known
truer than anything I've ever felt
and a thousand times more real than anything I've ever believed

Our souls have danced in a lightness as though we were angels
Our bodies have formed life as though we were gods
But it's our hearts which tangle around each other and remind us
that we are human
that we are blessed
and that nothing else matters
except every
single
day of our lives

You Come In Waves Walking along the shore water runs in to kiss my feet then slips back into the ocean I remember you and I naked on the beach The sand, squirming beneath us etching memories in our pores You were my tide my undulation slowly moving in...and out urging me closer with a subtle pull I gave in, drowned in your depth became liquid and mixed with your mystery Now, as I walk along the shore I feel you... rushing in and kissing my feet © Catyce

Variations On A Theme

Funny
how words change their meaning
right in the middle of everything
switch definitions
to fit the mood of the heart

Funny
how things turn unexpectedly
how much diversity in three little words

When I say this
don't ask what I mean

Yes
of course
I love you

Spelling Magic wrestles between us makes us question our craft and if this art is all that it seems In darkness I've seen you strange and wonderful working full moons beneath sleeves of night So tightly there pressing me into raising me up then lacing me through Yet, I question you (as everything) your hands 'round my shoulders those spells that you string And how familiar your touch is in darkness drawing me close to such magical things © Catryce

Requited

I breathe you in
swallow down those times you're human
those sounds you make while sleeping
that second. . . just before you touch me
I am that deep
inhaling all your tiny moments
holding them inside myself
and making them my own

There are times when I feel selfish
hoarding you in
unhappy without
all your many, multi-masses
intricate pieces, varied facets
Every little thing you do
each inticing part of you

On occasion, I'm afraid
lie in darkess, wide awake
and ponder in that sleepless state
just how much you'll let me take
And if I
within one lifetime
could give as much as you
If I
with just one lifetime
could give as much as you

Particles Of Light Something so foreign might touch me as to make me believe there are ghosts make me walk alone in darkness down deserted streets I'll find you, somewhere crammed in tiny corners lingering on the air There's nowhere you'll go that I can't feel you And if there are images that I've undone I'll try to heal them Bring particles of light together rebuild some form of you For I can't image risks without you walking off ledges, no plans to hang on And I know, in my heart you can't be replaced © Catryce

Calculations

Your tongue is a knife
splitting me open
inserting words in unlikely spaces

I swell up
and multiply

All I Conceive You shift beneath Venetian moons swell up and pour the night inside me I decompress let everything surface tighten my rings and sing You are everything my mouth has become Even in dreams your flesh is tangible Your skin on my lips my teeth combing through hair of your abdomen Absolute and perfect you shifted night inside me let me swell from the moon that gave birth to our son © Catryce

Dreaming You

I think of you often
winding down long, windy, summer highways
Stars, skies, parables
the dust kick of tar on wheels
Traveling passed dowries
domestic dimensions
driving passed everything that you've told me

Directions -- all encompassing
remote corners of the mind
Horizons, looming before me
eating snow-caps left behind
How delicious I might think of you
amaretto and chocolate
topaz eyes in candy stores

Down, down
this long, winding highway
steering passed blocks and barricades
The radio knows the memories
plays your words across the waves
Delicate words, dripping open
filling my mouth with mists and moons
Moons, so many moons
How many moons until I see you
How many comets diluting the seas

Sometimes, unconscious occasions
I slip through the exits of night
find sleep, bent back
loitering in shadows
A soul hitcher, pointing to Orion
star-clad hunter of night
I think of you
Of your fine arrows
sharp tips embedded in my heart

Signs and lights, signs and lights
the world, blinking off and on in the distance
A rare merging of earth and sky
The moon, lying on bellies of mountains
soft asleep
and dreaming you
