Trapped Sun
Diffused
Coax me,
Moist hot lover,
Into your embrace

fileId:3096224743841744;size:inter;









Brilliant and Clean
You excite
I stretch up to inhale you
Sweet, you carry the world
In your scent

fileId:3096224743841746;size:inter;









Tongues probe
Stimulate
Soft breeze caresses
Wet love nurtures
And thrills

fileId:3096224743841743;size:inter;







I curl up in ectasy then
Shoot my roots down to
Hold on tight
As I stretch myself
Wholly into you

Cathy,

Great stuff! Juxtaposition of well composed poetry and images is always a winner with me. Too hot for winter, let the spring begin!

Cheers,

Great job, Cat!

Lovely poem, Cat. Lovely pictures, too. I've been so "otherwise occupied" lately, I never got round to thanking you for the kind words about my pictires. Wish I had more scanned, but most are slides, and I haven't been able to find GOOD slide scanner for under a zillion dollars... I love sharing them with folks who enjoy them.

Thank you!

Cat, the flow of the words and the photos is exquisite! It captures the flow of the 'moment' perfectly.

Love the part about shooting the roots down. And the pictures are stunning too.
Nathan Schauer Apr 7, 2006, 8:47pm EDT
It took me a while to absorb this Cathy - the formating like the message of the poem is breaking out in sunlight.
Layne Underwood Apr 7, 2006, 10:39pm EDT
