 After gallons of strawberry tea and some coconut cookies I'm not tired anymore.
Cats are snuggling at my feet, purring ... it's just beautiful. 
Perfect time for dreaming, writing and translating this and that. 

This is for my dear  friend [personal profile] aliensouldream , thank you for your encouragement, sweetheart! 




Title:  Sleeping Fire
Pairing: C/Z
Rating: PG
No beta, all mistakes are mine.

 

I didn’t see him in days,

in two days to be exactly.

It feels like

weeks.

It’s Sunday morning and

I don’t know what to do.

Maybe I should scrub the floor

To get us a lovely home.

Home…

Tyler, get to your senses.

He’s still living at home.

With his parents.

He’s just 17.

But for me he is “home”.

Sometimes I miss my parents,

When he’s around it’s easier

To accept that they are

Not here…

To hug me..

To take care for me…

I’m not a child anymore

And yet I am.

I want to get hugged

I wish they would care for me

Sometimes I am just a child

And I hate it.

I don’t hate it when Casey is here.

He hugs me when I’m on the phone,

He holds me when I’m feeling down…

He takes care  for me

When I’m sad.

He’s more mature than I am.

 

Was it the beauty that took me

By surprise,

Or was it the mysterious look

In his eyes?

My friends think he’s nothing

To me he’s everything…

It’s hard to hide it…

Day by day…

I know it’s dangerous.

My love – is it love? –

For him is like a wild fire

Waiting to be inflamed…

I can feel it…

The fire begins to burn free

Out of control…

You thought I am here to protect you

With me being the older one.

I can’t protect you from myself…

 

As long as I don’t dare to look

Deeper and depper into my heart…

You are  safe, Casey…

You are  safe, Casey…

Only …when you are not here …

but I want …

so very much…

more…

of you…

 

Be careful, Casey.

I can feel the

Heat of desire

Growing…

More and more…

Be careful, Casey…

I cannot guarantee on anything  ...


Have a magical Monday night, f-list!
Love you all,
Julchen

But for me he is “home”. -- Poor lonely, dangerous Zeke. His need for Casey in this just hurts.

Wow - that is so touching. Zeke seeing Casey as HOME is just wonderful.

And his desire to protect Casey, especially from himself, only shows that Zeke is really in love in a deep way.

I'm so glad it works for you, my dear.
Sometimes love is just like that, slowly growing, slowly going...

Love and hugs,
Julchen

Oh Julchen, this is fantastic.
The wish to protect Casey und to know that the fire of love is burning more and more ... poor Zeke. But we love him for this, right? And Casey does it, too!

Date: 2008-07-29 11:45 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] julchen11.livejournal.com
Thank you, sweetie. As you say, we love Zeke just for being like this.
Cool on the surface and soft in his heart.

*stunned*

Oh, Julchen. Everything about this, from the title onward, goes straight to the heart of C/Z.

But for me he is “home”.

I always see Zeke this way, a lost and lonely boy trying to make sense of his world and the word 'home'. It is a powerful image for me that Casey, though seeming slight and vulnerable, should have a heart so big and strong that it is shelter for both of them. And to me Casey is always 17, a magic age to me.

Sometimes I am just a child
And I hate it.
I don’t hate it when Casey is here.


I don't think anyone ever stops feeling this way at some time, and for someone as defensive as Zeke to admit it in his heart is a huge step.

Was it the beauty that took me
By surprise,
Or was it the mysterious look
In his eyes?


Zeke could be fooled by beauty, but Casey's beauty is not all on the surface and grows by stealth. I think the haunting quality of those looks, beautiful and wise, have made Zeke understand there is so much more to him than just beauty.

My love – is it love? –
For him is like a wild fire
Waiting to be inflamed…


Oooh! I chose to see this poem as taking place before their relationship had progressed to intimacy and Zeke is battling with himself over his feelings of desire for the boy who has rescued him.

Be careful, Casey.
I can feel the
Heat of desire
Growing…


*faints* I love the powerful yearning, his warning to Casey. He isn't sure whether he should take this further, maybe he isn't sure what Casey wants, but his desire is growing unstoppable ... *faints again*

This is awesome, Julchen. Touching, perceptive and very sexy. Thank you so much! And thank you for keeping the C/Z flame going for all of us with these gorgeous poems. I feel I get to visit with them most every day through you. I am such a slow writer and fic challenges have slowed me down a little lately but I hope to post more fic soon. I am storing your poems as inspiration! I'm so glad we have Long Hot Summer about to start - a month of non-stop Zeke and Casey!!!

*hugs tight*

Awwww... Another time you left me speechless, sweetheart. I'm so happy you like it.
It's how I see Zeke, all the time. Cool on the outside, lonely and soft inside. He's strong, very strong, there's no doubt but he just needs someone like Casey. He's younger, he's warmhearted and he takes Zeke like he is. No need for changes, no need to hide his feelings. Zeke slowly allows himself to feel, to show his emotions for Casey.
This fandom really got me (thanks again to honey and mews and YOU, babe) ...
You aren't a slow writer, my dear. Your stories are long and absolutely brilliant.
My little "works" are always short, I couldn't write long stories ... though more than 300 pages are waiting to be translated (From German to English, sorry about the mistakes - but I'm sure you're reading with your heart, I can feel it in your lovely replies).
I'm so looking forward to the Long Hot Summer and all the Zeke and Casey love.

OMG, you are storing my poems??? *is thrilled*
I've printed all your stories, there's a special folder in my kitchen called "ASD + C/Z" and I love it more and more and more.

Thank you soooo very much for everything, lovey.

Love and zillions of hugs right under the sunlight,
Julchen

I'm now on my way to the garden, I think the C/Z muse will join me :-)
Have a grand day!

I don't usually read C/Z, but you suckered me in with one of my favorite Elijah pics, and I'm glad you did. This is so full frightened need and longing. Lovely, dear Julchen.

Awwww, thank you soooo much, Belle! I know this isn't your OTP so I'm all the more glad you stopped by. you like it? You should see me smiling now :-)) It's one of my favourite Elijah pics, too.
I wish I could do a little bit more of F/S but the language is more difficult (I'm still struggling with the English basics) but I'm learning. Day by day.
Thank you, love, thank you sooo much!
*hugs tightly*

A true sign of love...this is beautiful.

Thank you sooo very much, romeny. I'm more than happy you like it.
Your icon is breathtakingly beautiful...

This is wonderful. I love the passion and Zeke's fear that he might hurt Casey. "but I want...so very much more...of you" Wow.

Date: 2008-07-29 10:42 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] julchen11.livejournal.com
Thank you, Julia. I'm so glad you like it, you simply make me happy. *hugs*

Oooooh, how full of suspense is this??? So much still up in the air, undecided. I loved how he said at the beginning that he was still a child.

Thank you, sweetie!

Date: 2008-08-04 10:25 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] julchen11.livejournal.com
Is there another word for "thank you???"
You humble me, Steff...

Thank you!!!! soooooo very much!
You made my night :-)
