# A Memory Author: danath Tags: Feline, M/M, Poetry Poetry - not a real story. 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! 1 I remember The bright white light of your eyes Wide and unblinking We stared at each other for eternity Two hunters from Thespiae Lost between shadow and light 2 I remember The heat of your breath Mountain winds carrying the scent It flattened the sweetgrass And poured down the glacier And over your lips 3 I remember The touch of your wrist Against my side Burning our chorus Silencing the doubts Softly 4 I remember At long last how you tipped back your ears I looked upon you And touched nirvana You said your name But the wind carried it away 5 I remember My heart grew wings It flew away to land in your cage Wrought silver caressed the veins Flitting inside your breast Beating against the bars 6 I remember Arms of smooth amber embracing my neck The granite shocks tickled my neck The curve of your elbow At once, at once, at once A moment that hasn't yet ended 7 I remember You pulled me to the dance You smiled and I fell into your gaze Silk and honey You turned away, distracted The errant dreamer 8 I remember You, my lover, my lover Eyes of mercury Hard as a battleship Soft as the moon You turned to me  9 I remember The caress of your tail along my spine Panting, urgent, fire Every claw a warning Every whisper a warning Every touch a welcome 10 I remember Your body Sensual, nude, pale in the moonlight Stretched across the silk A callous Dionysus Existing in the reflection of my eyes 11 I remember Reaching for your smooth belly It rippled like a lake under my paw The roar of a soft purr Filled me with desire I pressed my mouth to yours 12 I remember The small of your back Curling, curving, curling, curving I watched you struggle to contain The pleasure We shared 13 I remember it all Your voice of molten spirits Your ironed ears and Leo smile The languorous excitement As my body met yours And we slaked our thirst 14 I remember That I wasn't your first Or last But in the moment United You were mine 15 I remember When you left I was asleep You squirmed free of my grasp Disappeared into darkness Only your reflection remained I didn't know it wasn't real 16 I remember The note you left Elegant rivers of ink scrawled across the landscape I retreated, unbelieving And crumpled the paper against my palm My reflection was inadequate now  17 I remember Everything Source: https://sofurry.com/s/bebpZAnA
