Respiration of Love Suffocation is a breath away, I need some space to see clearly Beyond the crooked smiles of so called lovers, To reach a clarity of certain situations All of which involve my thoughts of love and happiness, Allowing you to believe in the next day And me to live for this day, Watching the stars wipe away the sun’s tears In a fireworks show that celebrates the night, Returning me to dreams and nightmares of yesterday Memories that suffocate my emotions, Turning the skies black and blue… But I am not one to celebrate the darkness, Even if the warmth of its midnight cover Hides the truth from lies and sins… Claustrophobia is a fear that mocks my soul When I find the two of us in tight spaces, Attempting to scratch that itch on my heart When all I needed at the time was a friend; But the questions kept coming from your lips And I cried because that would be our last kiss Our last moment of shared suffocation Bringing to mind our favorite song I heard it as I swam away in the “Sea of Tranquility”, Catching pieces of a faint tune on the upstroke Matching her movements on the down stroke, Then in that moment of unimaginable pleasure I sank deeply into my silk and lavender sheets, Awakened by the scent of perfume and fear… But oh, how this loneliness brings in freshness, As I open up the window of my 11x14 box Taking in small sips of air as if drinking burgundy Calming my nerves with the smells of freedom… Not even the fate of tears from a smiling clown Or the confusion of the words---HUMBLY MELANCHOLY Can truly appreciate, the winds effect on a troubled man, Whose fear of commitment is like a bird falling, Until that one chance to take flight is taken… And on its wings I soar as crimson doves do, Higher and higher into the arms of eternity As she squeezes harder and harder to prove her love, To the joy and peacefulness of my final breath--- Suffocation, into the many hearts of nothingness.

"Claustrophobia is a fear that mocks my soul When I find the two of us in tight spaces, Attempting to scratch that itch on my heart When all I needed at the time was a friend; But the questions kept coming from your lips And I cried because that would be our last kiss"... You have almost knocked me down, giving me an answer I have sought to understand...albeit a different situation, the same. You are writing the soul scribes of a man in pain...Healing is the next destiny. Hugs, TD |
