Cradled In My Arc

KATAUTA:

Her:        eyes brown, like choc’late,
              swooning like the stars unglued —
              yours mad as the moon

Him:        pistachio eyes —
               the gaze of a soulful cat
               sea swept in zephyr

Her:         swallowed by the pond —
               our shadow imitates moves
               of tender years

Him:        silk like a spotlight,
               the moon pouring forth its milk —
               you invite my thirst

Her:          sway of tropical
                palms, your cradled in my arc —
                hammock’s impression

Him:         blow kiss from purple
                lips, the pitons like your breasts
                and the valley split

Together:  laughing and weeping
                present immortality —
                generosity christened
