Not Your Type
Amory Caricia Dec 2018
I wish I had big, beautiful eyes
Eyes of a bright and pretty hue
Eyes better, even good enough
to win admiring words from you

I wish I had a certain charm
A perfect smile, or playful curls
the way I walk, a sultry voice
Just anything to be your girl

I wish I had a body that
Could really make you long for me
With full, round ******* and whittled waist
So you would look at only me

I dance my life into a wind
In hopes to sweep you off your feet
But my perfect storm is not enough
To be someone you'd want to meet

i take mine chilled
Amory Caricia Aug 2017
Cold hand writing words
Cold words touching my heart
Cold heart freezing my soul
Cold soul tearing me apart

Ice running right through my veins
Veins freezing up into stone
Stone, like the face of my love
Love like the blood of dry bone

Bones are what's left of the passion
Passion has gone from my eyes
Eyes of my darling look elsewhere
Elsewhere affection's demise

Demise of the beauty between
Between her sweet body and mine
Mine was her lust and her fervor
Fervor that chilled over time

photographic
Amory Caricia Oct 2017
Today I saw a photograph
I've never seen before
It was too much for me to bear,
But left me wanting more

It was like heaven, here on land
Though flaming like a fire
Like child and mother, hand in hand
More reckless than desire

A sunrise o'er a field of blooms
Too vast to know what kind
Sky making clouds like billowed tombs
Cold, damp walls, colored sky behind

With just enough light to capture
The prime of each vividity
With just enough sight to rapture
It's Creator's dense divinity
I saw a stunning piece of photography today. Enough beauty to make you cry...

It all must fall
Amory Caricia Jul 2023
Insufferable I am
The passion of desire
Denatures all of my bones
And sets my lungs afire

Ablaze and plainly brazen
I rocket through my veins
A welling and a tingle
The mingling of my pains

Entitled to an answer
Entitled as “my own”
My own is to forsake me
Forsaken is my home

My mystery is the craving
Not the other way around
I hunt to smell it breathing
Others forage pieces—
—left on the ground

More is all that feeds me
Blood keeps me alive
I eat to feed the others
My subjects and my pride

Everything looks at my sweat
Threat in droplets, all in stride
Working for the night’s regret
I never run or tire or hide

I keep it in and just at bay
It is a solemn price to pay
To know the dark can be undone
And be the thing that must be done

The rapture of the weight it brings
The capture of the finer things
They whisper in my eager fears
And I’m the only one who hears

like a movie
Amory Caricia Mar 2018
You know we're like a movie, right?
The way I miss you every night
The way that you're afraid of heights
Or how we kiss after we fight

You know, we read just like a story
In our distinctive kind of glory
With every fail and each victory
And all the times we say we're sorry

You and I are like a favorite song
How we can talk the whole night long
Or find a way to do everything wrong
And somehow find where we belong

You're too hot-tempered, and I'm stubborn and careless
But I won't have you any different, and you can't change me
So keep loving me crazy--we'll love every minute
And run off into the sunset...just you and me

alone
Amory Caricia Jul 2018
A soul can want to be alone, more than anything at all
A heart can love a loneliness more than a lover's fall
To baste and marinate the mind in lonely interlude
And lick the fingers, one by one, in sultry solitude

A soul can want desertion more than anything it knows
More than the strong devotion of the lover that it chose
More than a true companion or a hand to hold at night,
A life can long to be alone against all wrong or right

What isn't you that beckons me when I do hear you call?
What calls me from some far-away to turn from you at all?
The love I give to you has seemed enough to fill your life
What thing calls out to me by name and cuts me like a knife?

i love to dance
Amory Caricia Dec 2019
I love to dance
I like the way
The colored light just hits your skin

I love the way
It tends to stay
So surfaced, and just not sink in

I like how I can smile and laugh
I like how you can run a chat
I love how both of us can tell
We'll never make it close to that

I love to dance
I like it how
My every thought is in the now

I love it when
My guard is down
And all that I tend to allow

I like how that drink tends to sit
I love the way it makes me think
I know the paths that I might take
I love how it just makes me sink
happy and sad

Untitled
On scene and out of mind
Out of any kind of time
Out of pocket, on my side
You’re my favorite kind of line

And it gets me late at night
When I feel with all my might
That you’re pushing out of sight
Baby, but it feels so right

Take your time and let me know
Like you want to watch my show
I can make the time go slow
Just keep that head down, keep it low

And keep that rhythm
Keep on breathing
Let me marinate that silence
Let me soak into your ceiling
Cause I don’t feel like defiance

And the violence
It’s just spinning
It’s the cutting, it’s the stinging
Sober but I’m undefended
I’m a monster in my dreams
I’m just bursting at the seams

Take me on
Just give me something
Any piece you want to
Pull my teeth out one by one
And make me feel it like you want to

— The End —
