"White Heat" by Fatuma Hydara (me)

A silk strap falls off a supple shoulder.

A soft, silky hand lingers.

A breathless whisper, a gasping moan, a stifled cry

Passion glazed eyes

Touches here…

there…

everywhere…

Heated skin, burning hotly just beneath the surface

a coming together, hearts synced, beating a love-filled rhythm

Spirits and senses soar

higher and higher…

and higher

Then,

slowly float back down to earth on a cloud,

returning to a sated vessel,

a sigh, a wink, a soft smile… eyes gently close,

in time for rose colored dreams.

The Caged Animal by Fatuma Hydara (ME, DUH!!!

A/N- I've been writing a bit of poetry lately..It's not usually my thing, so I don't know where this inspiration-if you can call it that-is coming from. Anyway, take a look at it and see what you think.

I know why the caged animal screams,

a roar of frightful pain,

having just woken up from a dream of free,

just to see his trapped reality.

I know why the caged animal cries,

a wail of aching sorrow,

having just reminisced of a past of uninhibitation.

I know why the caged animal shrieks,

a howl of nostalgic agony,

of a previous life in a wild open plain.

I know why the caged animal bellows,

in tortured anger,

for things done against his will.

I know why the caged animal screams, but do you?

He cries and shrieks and bellows,

because he is no longer free, and may never be.

A silk strap falls off a supple shoulder.

A soft, silky hand lingers.

A breathless whisper, a gasping moan, a stifled cry

Passion glazed eyes

Touches here…

there…

and everywhere…

Inflammable skin, burning hotly just beneath the surface

a coming together, hearts synced, beating a love-filled rhythm

Spirits and senses soar

higher and higher…

and higher

Then,

slowly float back down to earth on a cloud,

returning to a sated vessel,

                                             
                    a smile, a wink, a sigh… eyes gently close,

                                    in time for rose colored dreams.

Mother's Nature's Capture by Me

I peek with the view finder,
Excited of what could be seen.
In my little square of sight,
I see all I intend to see.

Freshly grown grass, greener and brighter
Than any I’ve ever perceived.
Tree trunks thick and brown,
with life within its leaves.

Little red birds gliding beneath,
a vivid blue sky, the clash of color startling.
A rabbit peeps from its borrow,
Wary of hidden prey.

With my lens I zoom in 20X,
And behold the life closer to the ground.
Millions of ants, in search of food
For their all-mighty queen.

My camera clicks and clicks,
As I capture nature’s beauty for myself.
