  • A Meeting

    I sat across from her, And listened to her eyes, Sparkling words of wonderment. We held a table hostage Sharing time and space As the world swirled around us. Nothing could break us, A beggar’s cries were lost, Cold winds only brought us closer. How much of me was hidden from her, Yes, my mind…

  • Void Red Ink, but Paint

    No corrections to be made We had whips and chains, Places to blame And circumstances to hate for our in and out game Never believed we met the end of the line But still ray as we ignored the math matics Finding ways to dilute the valid hazards we speak every time our spaces meet…

  • Spare Change

    I fired at you You shot back your heart’s presets Fixed, little use in trying You weren’t up for trying this out again But I proceed with cautious steps I proceed off steep ledges on hillsides that others have only turned back from, repeatedly That past tense never makes this kid hesitate He hasn’t been…

  • This Roof

    I feel you I think all things are possible because they are already alive It’s our job to find it Be prepared through the moments we get All is waiting for me, when I’m ready. I’m still too aware of what people think I’m a little jealous of you because you’ll do what you want…

  • Miles Away

    I think of you miles away and I am chilled. For I want you here to ignite me. I want you on me over me in me filling me with your heat. Hands playing my body making me sing. Time do not tease me any longer. Bring you my lover to me. Copyright Catherine Anne…

  • Patience to Impatience

    Patience…I am asked to have patience but as time goes by I become more and more impatient So many things said they will be done and are not So many promises broken Have patience It will be done I wait I wait Tick tock Tick tock Time goes by They never show up It’s never…

  • My Angel, My Own

    My Angel, My own… take me back to the top of our mountain where it all began. Lay with me in the clouds and kiss me like you did Make my body tremble Reclaim what is yours to take. You are my passion… My hunger… My need for you is great… Am I a fool…

  • For Aunt Mary

    The sun shines so brightly and the birds sing their song but my soul is very sad for you are here no more. You showed me how to make things and to see beauty with different eyes and with your own particular style you opened up new worlds to me. These gifts have stayed with…

  • 26 Months

    26 months from a cloud covered mountain to a rain soaked evening and yet I still yearn I burn for you as bright as ever If anything my desire to hear the timbre of your voice to feel your hands on the side of my face as you look deeply into my eyes before you…
