Didn't get a response on FA so I figured I'd try here and see if it caught anyone's fancy. I'm not really into poetry, but the idea for this one hit me all the sudden and I tried to jot it down before I forgot it. I've been thinking about \"furry\" poetry lately and wondering what it would look like. This is my attempt!","content":"1  \nI remember  \nThe bright white light of your eyes  \nWide and unblinking  \nWe stared at each other for eternity  \nTwo hunters from Thespiae  \nLost between shadow and light  \n  \n2  \nI remember  \nThe heat of your breath  \nMountain winds carrying the scent  \nIt flattened the sweetgrass  \nAnd poured down the glacier  \nAnd over your lips  \n  \n3  \nI remember  \nThe touch of your wrist  \nAgainst my side  \nBurning our chorus  \nSilencing the doubts  \nSoftly  \n  \n4  \nI remember  \nAt long last how you tipped back your ears  \nI looked upon you  \nAnd touched nirvana  \nYou said your name  \nBut the wind carried it away  \n  \n5  \nI remember  \nMy heart grew wings  \nIt flew away to land in your cage  \nWrought silver caressed the veins  \nFlitting inside your breast  \nBeating against the bars  \n  \n6  \nI remember  \nArms of smooth amber embracing my neck  \nThe granite shocks tickled my neck  \nThe curve of your elbow  \nAt once, at once, at once  \nA moment that hasn't yet ended  \n  \n7  \nI remember  \nYou pulled me to the dance  \nYou smiled and I fell into your gaze  \nSilk and honey  \nYou turned away, distracted  \nThe errant dreamer  \n  \n8  \nI remember  \nYou, my lover, my lover  \nEyes of mercury  \nHard as a battleship  \nSoft as the moon  \nYou turned to me\n\n\u0026nbsp;9  \nI remember  \nThe caress of your tail along my spine  \nPanting, urgent, fire  \nEvery claw a warning  \nEvery whisper a warning  \nEvery touch a welcome  \n  \n10  \nI remember  \nYour body  \nSensual, nude, pale in the moonlight  \nStretched across the silk  \nA callous Dionysus  \nExisting in the reflection of my eyes  \n  \n11  \nI remember  \nReaching for your smooth belly  \nIt rippled like a lake under my paw  \nThe roar of a soft purr  \nFilled me with desire  \nI pressed my mouth to yours  \n  \n12  \nI remember  \nThe small of your back  \nCurling, curving, curling, curving  \nI watched you struggle to contain  \nThe pleasure  \nWe shared  \n  \n13  \nI remember it all  \nYour voice of molten spirits  \nYour ironed ears and Leo smile  \nThe languorous excitement  \nAs my body met yours  \nAnd we slaked our thirst  \n  \n14  \nI remember  \nThat I wasn't your first  \nOr last  \nBut in the moment  \nUnited  \nYou were mine  \n  \n15  \nI remember  \nWhen you left I was asleep  \nYou squirmed free of my grasp  \nDisappeared into darkness  \nOnly your reflection remained  \nI didn't know it wasn't real  \n  \n16  \nI remember  \nThe note you left  \nElegant rivers of ink scrawled across the landscape  \nI retreated, unbelieving  \nAnd crumpled the paper against my palm  \nMy reflection was inadequate now  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;17  \nI remember  \nEverything  \n  \n\n"}
