Jody Royée  -  Poetry

Marine Biology Alone in the aquamarine water of your body I pour forth my prayer of love   The bliss of skin and breath exchanged under   Waterfalls of deep seaweed caressing   Our bodies suspended between indigo liquid air And a canopy of filtering fingers of sunlight   We are undulating bellies of translucent reds And iridescent blues   I am  Your jellyfish lover Jody Royée

Our Crucible   Dreaming became our longing Manifested in two souls desired crucibled and birthed   I now trust in mystery’s expectation surrender to unknown familiarities Merging into passions’ ecstasy Stepping beyond the veil of our own hiding   Awake, aware of your side closer Resting from years of this secret birthing Flesh living in new skin Open to sun and rain and all elements Gladly exposed and known   In it there is peace and our merging holds fire   Where does my skin end and the air begin?  Air with words now fired, spiced and liquid  A new crucible Jody Royée

End This Longing   I am missing your passion tonight You lay next to me yet The room is void of your laughter  fantasies and moans.    I am missing your thick brown hair Where my fingers seek to roam  a soft smile, eyes of light  behind long exotic lashes   I am missing the wrap of bodies Our entering with tales of magic and song Only to stoke embers burning in my breast  Refreshing me with cooling words of water   You know what moves my soul Art of passion, sparkling joy, relenquishing tenderness Entered me with all your ways In all the ways you imagine.   Sounding my thoughts, entwining my life, merging my body. Come find me in your dreams   Have you lost your way home? Jody Royée

My Memory   Waking to those fiery red tulips Holding the morning light within their bellies Reminds me of how All the air catches fire between us Melting warm soft skin Losing ourselves in passion heated curves & Moist hollows    Gazing into a sun bursts of pines   flooding our tangle of  flesh and sheets and pillows  I feel the warmth that radiates From your eyes While soaking in this new morning The impression of your touch Traces my earth's shape Leaving a breath of memory like The dampened sand from the Ocean's kiss upon her shore jody Royée

Lunar Rhythms   The moon guided me home to your memory last night Turning toward open seashore smiling upon me A smile from you   Thoughts emerge of our rhythms  Centered in our spirits’ loins A soft ebb and flow Of lapping ocean soaking deep into sandy crystals   The same moon surges every ocean and awakens my dance with you Showing her face day and night Coming to me like a late night lover finding her mate Caressing the curve of my side Kissing my eyelids open To find me entwined in her glow   She lingers within our days Glowing softly like your whispers Reminding me of your delicate touch Her body transforms from full and bold Into the most delicate smile Hovering in the twilight sky   Hers is a slow sensual rhythm Inspiring dramatic ocean surges Which retreat to Disclose starry seashells glistening On freshly dampened sand   The moon calls us to take her as our own Shinning her light of passionate memories into our thoughts Her rhythms pulse within our soul And we find her embodied in our lovers’ embrace Jody Royée

Mango Morning   Body’s awakend before dawn Longing to taste our memories Wanting to satisfy cravings for  Soft, sweet and juicy   I hoped the dawning would linger  Along with your gentle touch on my breast Yet a soft orange glow emerged into An expectant day   I wish I could have rolled back That morning to spend another Night entwined with you A night unexpected  An answer A reprieve   A night of bodies glowing hot Cooled not from our sweat Only from the momentary  Refrain of touch   My craving for you still ached Yet you coaxed me into the day  With cool strawberries and mangos Forsaken in our evenings passion for  Something more enticing   Those mangos, a sweet compromise Calming my fire but Not extinguishing it Jody Royée

Your Touch   Sitting alone within an ocean sunset I’m dreaming of your touch It is sensual Not like these crashing waves I see More like The spindrift that melts into the evening’s Dance of sea and sand and sky   Your touch is The ocean’s spray that leaps to kiss the air above   Your touch is The sea mist lingering in space Blending with warm breezes Moistening the rolling dunes and sea grasses   Your touch is Sunlight embracing these mountain silhouettes Shimmering through the veil of fog that longs to Rest among the treetops   Your touch is The fog that nestles between the hills  That pour themselves down to the shore   Your touch is My longing My desire for more than a dream Together our flesh does not fear Our souls’ embrace Jody Royée

TWILIGHT   I watched the ocean absorb the sky tonight In all her hues and vibrancy They shared their essence with each other so willingly Iridescent pink orange fire shimmering hot textures Among frosty sapphire lavender foam The colors draw me in None I know  other than from the blending of these two forces   These beings sharing their emboldened passions A spark that ignites every day for the past millions of years And each time unique and magical A blending across vast distances where neither is Diminished in the communion Where both are exhaulted in the display I get to witness their surrender and become part of their dance Jody Royée

Understanding Passion   Wave Riders have a passion  Driven past any resistance to dawn's break  Rising with alacrity into a promise  Contained in the water's swell.    Early twilight mornings Often cold to the bone Peeling on slick black neoprene Over bare naked skin  Exposed to a rush of damp sea air Diving into icy waters to paddle through Endless surges of swells to wait and wait and wait For the core of their passion.   Entering into earth’s wetness Connecting body & soul Surges call to discover her womb Held within the ocean’s revealing She shares only for a moment. Floating within her rhythm depends on her Depends on you A flash of engaging energies.   I ride within the swells of our bodies blending As if entering connection with an ocean’s wave A passion I return to over and over and over  Passing through obstacles  Which no others seem to brave And I discover I’m within your most secret spaces  Mutual surrender    A surfer’s undying need to return to the ocean. Jody Royée

Unfolding   The place we explore in body and in dreams Is a sun-drenched garden of wild flowers Watered by the morning dew Cooled by evening sunsets New seeds are sown by winter winds Into this open fertile soil Thriving with roots entwined And blossoms unfolding Surrendering again to the summer light Emersed in a the new season Vast and vibrant with life Our dance takes us within sunlit grasses Of translucent green and iridescent gold We walk these paths of our unfolding   Sharing what makes our spirits’ soar And comforting each others’ tears Discovering our depths Illuminating our shadows & embracing our passions Into each other’s hearts we will reveal our secrets While the seasons cycle past As the maple’s red fire is cooled by winter’s silver rain Giving birth to flamboyant wildflowers Dancing with us again in summer breezes Jody Royée

Lunar Eclipse of the Winter Solstice 12 Voluptuous moons gush reflected sun upon my night time rituals,   Illuminating cloaked hours of celebration An illusive dance surrenders to Softer light, forsaking shame. Drawn to emerse under dappled light of Blending dark river to sea waters Yield a current for birthing. But what of this final engorged moon Burning blood red? Inverted reflection of earth’s dense body, Her small being inhibits the Source of my full night moon! Held in space as a breath, Waiting to be expressed with a Sigh of relief. Gratitude opening to another Cycle beginning. Jody Royée

My Sheltering Sky Where does my skin end and the air begin? In your presence I am led With your gaze I am seen I cautiously perch my soul on the edge of my tongue, You have never given me a reason not to trust you.  But for having exposed myself  My history, my unlovelyness I was in fear of regret once leaving you last night. Awake In one breath to discover my teenager present to receive from me.  Hold her now! Give her this part of myself This listening and attention I have infused from you. Awake  I can be with my pain, her history, our thoughts  I am not alone! Awake I can see myself, her need, our joining   I wait, allowing for her. Awake  I can be with her stories, those impulses and urges She, close as breath & blood and bones  We are not separate!  Here is where the boundaries of Skin and thoughts and time melt  allowing this union. Awake I sit on this blustery ledge of earth now watching a storm shape my late morning sky delighting in all the subtlety, anticipation and fertility.   Jody Royée
