My love for you,
Slips beyond the bounds of this earth,
Coating every inch, of every acre of land
Your feet might tread,
Before ascending to the heavens
To merge with your love
Amidst the wonders of the kosmos.

We dance upon the moon,
Bouncing and twirling,
But we don't tarry.
We blast off
And crash down on Mars.
And we lie together
Upon the cold red sands,
Let the wind whip past,
Spraying us with tiny particles.
Then we will smash right through the asteroid belt,
Bashing through anything that crosses our path.
We will watch the billion year storms of Jupiter,
Roiling and churning in magnificent patterns,
As we hold hands, and ice skate, on the surface of Europa,
Gliding together, in the kaleidoscopic light.
Off to Enceladus we will fly,
To witness the boiling geysers,
And watch as the scalding fluid turns to snow,
Adding a shower of sparkling crystals
To Saturn's brilliant rings.
We'll Swim in the methane sea's of Titan,
And kiss in the clouds, as we ride the storm currents.
Then we'll end our evening
On the surface of Triton,
And make love beneath the planetary glow,
Of the blue and white marble of Neptune,
Lighting our passionate embrace,
With a dim azure radiance.
The red of our lust combines,
And a purple luminescence releases from the surface,
As pulsing rhythm increases,
And we explode into one billion beams of light.

Reforming as we hurtle back
To earth, to our bodies,
To our bed, to our love, to us.

Earth, Bodies, Bed, Love, Us...

All the wondrous sights and sensations of the universe,
Are but minor miracles, compared to these five things.

In a house of love,
Sweet sounds ring out constantly,
The soundtrack is warm and energetic,
In the movie of my life.
Countless kisses, and close embraces,
Hugs and playful wrestling.
The booming laugh, and
Giddy giggle of my loved ones.
The occasional squawks or yips.
Just add to the beauty of our melody.
It is our love that fills the air with song.
It is your love that sustains me,
My beloved composer of bliss.

One I adore,
You must know the truth,
I am tethered to you.

Many nights I slept like a woman
Awaiting execution at dawn,
I wondered if you'd stay my execution,
waiting for the wall phone to ring,
And my pardon to arrive.

To know that you felt alone, neglected,
This was never my intention,
If you feel all alone in my prescence
I'd rather disolve like a salt pillar
In a torrential rain,
Than take the chance of hurting you again.

But if you are alone in my abscence,
Then I know, for certain, you love me,
And forgiveness, and acceptance,
Will come in time. For, I love you.
The fruits of a writing exercise, at a couples retreat. I don't believe my husband would ever leave me, but written affirmations strengthen relationships. I wanted to post his letter in response, but he made me promise not to.

My smile is wide and bright,
Whenever you are in my sight.
My cares evaporate,
In the joyous clouds that you create.
Your smile is milk chocolate,
And mulled wine.
You hide cinnamon and sugar
behind your eyes.
My love for you is something,
I cannot disguise.
If you ever hear I don't love you,
You know that its lies.
I will hold you in my heart,
Until my hearts demise.

My words are meaningless.
My love carries a meaning beyond words.
I may not have the knowledge and experience,
And careless I may stumble and bumble,
But my feeling for you is deeper than all of my words put together.
I keep trying to find the right metaphor,
Decipher the right message, that will make it clear.
More than anything, I want you to be happy,
So if you ever think leaving me would make you happier.
If you think living the night into the day would be better,
I would understand...
But don't ask me to stop loving you.
I don't have much to offer. I try to get better each day.

Your eyes are cools springs, bursting from the dry rocks,
Your arms are a Mylar blanket, keeping my warm and safe.
Your lips are wild berries, and pine nuts, and healing herbs.

Your love is a roaring flame,
That fends of the wild beasts of my mind,
A ring of acacia trees, that keeps the lion of doubt at bay.

Your smile is a shade tree in the desert,
Your heart, a noble pine, that shields me from sleet.
Your soul is a cooling wind, in a sweltering jungle.

In this wilderness of life,
You help me to survive,
And lovingly thrive,
No matter what weather life sends our way.

When you once again return to my arms
I will bathe you in a sea of my charms.
Massage your shoulders, and kiss away your tension
Any favor you ask, any whim you may mention.
With my tongue and my lips I will roll your eyes back in your head,
Leave you sweaty and glistening, then bring you breakfast in bed.
I'll go down between your legs,
While you eat your bacon and eggs.
All the things I want to do to you, I'm too shy to list them all here.
The sea or pleasure I will drown you in, when you finally appear.
I think of you right now, and my hands involuntarily reach for my chest,
Between my legs, I touch myself, but your touch is the best.
For you I'd debase myself, let you film it and show it to your friends,
Wave after wave of wantoness, grinding, longing I hope never ends,
But we will pass out exhausted, wake up, and do it all again.
Oh, the things I'll do to you, and let you do to me when
You once again return to these arms.
This is a little bit more risque' then I am used to, but thinking of my husband brings this side out of me.

When I kissed you unexpectedly today
it wasn't so you would kiss me back today.
It was so that you would gladly kiss me
unexpectedly on Tuesday.

When I am gone, for hours at a time,
Shopping for my next decorative fix,
You never once ask me, "Where have you been",
You simply kiss me, and say "I'm glad you are back"
If I loved you any more, I'd probably have a heart attack...
But I am not afraid...I know your love would resuscitate me.
For the kisses you grant me, they elevate me.
I float on a cloud of your love, never fearing falling...
Because the safety net of your love, protects me...
I plummet into your arms, and your kisses always save me.

A speck of pale dust
In the universe of you,
Yet you still love me.
Kasandra Curtis Aug 2012
Its you, its you!
Only you!
You are the only one I want!
Come to my arms, You're tearing me apart,
What can I do, to prove
It is only you,
Only You!

In high school,
Everyone used to compliment me
On my smile, and good looks,
But, you possess a beauty that surpasses all others.
I stand in awe at the beauty of
Your mind, and body,
But more so than these insignificant things
I see your beauty
In your actions.
I want this to be clear,
So there is no doubt,
From here on out.
I love you, in all your magnificent beauty,
And I need you to know
You are the only one for me.
I could find fortune,
And a life of luxury, and ease
If I had chosen differently.
But, then I would lose your beauty,
And no riches on this earth
Would be worth losing a spirit
As beautiful as yours.
I know a woman shouldn't call a man beautiful, but the things you do for me...Beautiful is the only word that fits.

I'm a wreck,
Torn apart by irrational emotions.
Longing for something
I thought I once had.
Living in a handful of past days
And dragging my feet into the future.
Ungrateful
And petty.
Why must you be so wonderful?
You never run out of magnificence,
And I can't seem to keep up.
And yet, you never leave me behind,
And it hurts to know,
That I am so plain, and boring,
And I just can't compete.
I love you even more,
Because you love me...
Even though
You deserve so much better than me.
Kasandra Curtis Sep 2012
Still
As ever
Your love is the goal
Of my endeavors,
I often wonder why I work so hard,
When you already love me more
Than my silly heart can stand.
But, still,
As ever,
I endeavor for your love.
If you look down deep enough
Beneath the blood and diversionary fluff,
All any of us here wants
Is a little love,
From someone as special as you.
The things that you do...
They help me get through.

When you
frequent a website
more than your
daughter does.
She's out eating lunch at the mall with friends, and here I am, on the computer. The irony!
Kasandra Curtis Aug 2012
Every wound I have inflicted,
Every slight my foolish hands have committed,
Brings me double the pain to know I failed you.
Please love, I beg you, forgive me,
Take your disappointment out on me
If need be,
But please forgive me.
Your tears tear the will to go on from my soul.
I cannot control this feeling of sinking,
Yet I gladly shall sink,
If it brings you solace.
Your joy is my joy.
Your pain is my pain.
My love is all yours.
Kasandra Curtis Jul 2012
Weak and sick I sigh,
all I want to do is cry,
no matter the years that go by,
you never fail to save me.
When I was low and sobbing,
you placed your loving hand on my cheek,
and I knew beyond a doubt
that we would never part.
Your voice makes me quiver,
your glance makes me blush,
but I only knew for sure I loved you,
when I felt your touch.
Hold me tonight my darling,
I care not to be alone.
Don't speak,
close your pale grey eyes,
and wrap your arms around me,
you are all I need,
all I want,
my love till end of time.
Your touch alone
can save me,
without it I would die.

— The End —
