Beast are you sleeping?
I gaze upon your beauty-gently entwining my body with yours
Wrapping your limbs in mine
Feeling the softness of your fur
Hearing your soft, slow, rhythmic snores
In your throat the deep rumble of your purrs
Beast are you sleeping?
I gaze into your face as your ears and whiskers twitch -I try to imagine your dreamscape with the colors both vibrant and rich
Do you run through the tall grass wild and free?
Or do you leap high into the air off of a narrow precipice
Splashing down into a crystal clear blue lagoon fathoms deep?
Yes my beast-weary from the hunt-exhausted from chasing-drained from raging-sleep
And dream of whatever slumbering beasts dream
Until the time you are called upon again
Sleep your sweet, peaceful slumber
While I stare at you in awe
Eyes misty ogling you with childlike wonder
I gaze upon your beauty-gently entwining my body with yours
Wrapping your limbs in mine
Feeling the softness of your fur
Hearing your soft, slow, rhythmic snores
In your throat the deep rumble of your purrs
Beast are you sleeping?
I gaze into your face as your ears and whiskers twitch -I try to imagine your dreamscape with the colors both vibrant and rich
Do you run through the tall grass wild and free?
Or do you leap high into the air off of a narrow precipice
Splashing down into a crystal clear blue lagoon fathoms deep?
Yes my beast-weary from the hunt-exhausted from chasing-drained from raging-sleep
And dream of whatever slumbering beasts dream
Until the time you are called upon again
Sleep your sweet, peaceful slumber
While I stare at you in awe
Eyes misty ogling you with childlike wonder

I've written/ will rewrite/ will transcribe
For you
I do not know you, nor will I ever, but I will continue to write
For you
even so
Keep me here, keep me here
You're all I've ever asked for
Imaginary lover/s
Please come to me
Hiding
You've never known true elatedness
Until you've read me
Even so
Keep looking through the glass
Breath holding these familiar shapes
Standing still, arms frozen at her sides , eyes focused, staring straight, connecting with his greyish/blueish awakening eyes, his heart is sick....so...
Why'd you take so long? ... To come around.

Three Small Words
I dare not say those three small words
now almost slipped as I spoke my mind
they'd tip the my world with no recourse
but to be one with the syllables
each one innocent on its own
dire criminals when they are combined
a truth too raw to be let loose
I'll look to them to find the cause.
The first is one designated
the ninth letter of the alphabet
singular expression of being's self
referring to speaker of utterance
what role it has is not my choice
in this pronoun always capital
victim or rouge is optional
each in its time as the words progress.
I'll skip past the second to the last
focus of my sentence now addressed
fully present at this time
though not in person, just in the mind
my focus removes all the world
I'm pretty sure it was there before
now a single point is all I view
as my mind turns to the deepest truth.
Romance is in the middle phrase
this deep affection is edge of fact
though if I look for Cupid's dart
I'll fast admit that adoration was the start
I've fallen oh so far
I hope the bottom will never come
four letters have sealed my fate
a door will open if I merge the thought.
I'll not combine the tender words
It would be easy to tumble forth
express sentiment for another to hear
still I hold my tongue against the urge
I make this choice before I release
no greater thing I'll ever find
more than enough to arrest my heart
this statement held prisoner from both of us.
