History.
Carla Michelle Jan 2016
I'd start by asking you, politely
if I could explore the depths of your body
like a librarian in an endless library
searching for the history book in
a row of poetry.

Your body, like a part of history,
has been taught to me,
by the only one who has ever had the
chance of exploring it,
so enchantingly, every night,
you.

Let me explore your seas.

Sun-Flower Petals.
Carla Michelle Sep 2014
My only wish is to wake up
in the warm embrace that is your bare body,
covered in sheets as soft as a flowers petals.
Swimming in an endless ocean
of pretty things, you'd whisper
into ears, asleep, only to know,
I'd recite them in the morning,
like a perfectly structured poem,
that would soon enough wake you from slumber.
Because whispers are made to make us
listen.

I'm so glad I listened,
sleep well, and dream
euphorically*.

You wanted to know (Finale)
Carla Michelle May 2015
Time has not been stuck, it has just gone by
and now I might have enough
to scatter your skin with a kiss,
and a slight graze.
I have the thought of you, so engraved
this time will be no waste, of memory
to your body.
And if you didn't know,
I never thought of leaving you, no.
Which is why I'm not leaving you,
just being placed away.

I have bloomed, thanks to you,
my boy who I am so intertwined with.
You have taken me to highs, at times
when lows were significant.

I have seen your skin, fresh out of the shower,
I have read to you, without boring you.
You are the bar, no other boy can raise
and I speak to you now,
as my man, who has my all
.

As I am placed farther on this map,
know, you'll always be my Sun.

I have told you all you wanted to know,
now I write to discover my inquiries
.
I'm moving to Chicago, and I can't deal with  having to leave him here.

You said
Carla Michelle Nov 2014
"My story" you said.
I am composed of a thousand thoughts
all which scream violently
in the roar of a swift violin
.
"My story" you said.
I'm afraid of everything, but
the calm movement of
sugary winds terrify me
more than the words you
must keep hidden from me
.

You said.

My story is not the
sly way I flip my "magical" hair at the break of dawn.
It is not the "cunning" way I say
my "gentle" words.
It is not the "careless manner" in which
I dress.

But you said.

My story will not be
why you have found a reason
to see beauty in me.
Nor in the depths of my "yellow brick road"
eyelashes.
My story will not define me,
but instead characterize the
reason why I overthrew you.

Three Seasons.
Carla Michelle Sep 2014
A universe caught in it's own diversity
like the wings of a butterfly
severed off during it's flight.
And as the Fall becomes apparent,
the leaves find changing colors a bit too
dramatic.
A melodic song, sung in the key of
freezing temperatures
but is longing its dear, blanc
sitting on the pavement.  
A restless change in winds,
like a wave colliding into the equator.
A world too predictable,
like a dandelion
loosing all of its wishes.

But your voice grows flowers,
your eyes rip me apart,
almost like a ray of sun
hitting ice, and not becoming another
element.
Your heart takes me in one,
and starts to feed.
Your body is the source of life,
like a newly-wed spring leaf.  
And I've never been more okay
.

It's all his.
Carla Michelle Jan 2015
When you catch him
gazing at your skin,
Be sure to tell him,
It's all his.

Sanctuary.
Carla Michelle Nov 2014
To discover the many levels
of complete satisfaction
which most would call
"falling too early, too fast"
is just a shy breath away from
deeming it to be too slow,
and I need it faster.  
My eyes will never lurk on a path
that does not reminisce on his very
scent, yet urge to find and consume it alone.
My lips will not crave to seek attention
that does not follow with the same
softness they do know.
My body will reach out
in such lengths to find him, because he,
is my sanctuary.

To touch him is to ask me
to fall in love with him,
yet not so indirectly.
To ask me to not look into
his eyes, is to take away
every beautiful thing I've learned
from him.
And if he asks me to do those things,
I might hesitate, yes.
But remember, when something is
a bit too hesitant, it's not really
ever done.

Yet I dare him to ask me to kiss him, to touch him, to love him.
Because from that day and forward, I will never
let him stop remembering why he ever asked me to.
I will shower him with stammering kisses, like
bombs igniting over his very skin.
I will never let my hands leave his body,
scratching at his skin like its the most
beautiful rash I've ever had.
I will never forget the way he looks at me
on a daily basis, or the aggressive meets gentle way
he holds me
.

And you are my sanctuary.
And now, you are no longer a
He or him.
And that, my love,
is me loving you, because you love me*.
