I am hidden within the warmth of breath
you take into your body.
Shimmering with the vibration of your inhale.

I am paused, mid heartbeat,
by the beauty of your essence
thirsting for the healing in your touch.

I am swimming in the unshed
tears of your empathy
begging to slid down the soft of your skin.

I am overcome with the light
that is you
washing me, spilling into my person.

Surely one end of a Rainbow must center on your house, my friend, for two beautiful things send it's essence from there...you and this beautiful write.

A most beautiful and passionate write....
I thought it kind of stopped suddenly at
the end,  just didn't feel like ending lines.

Other than that, IWIHWT....

PS:  Love the new pic.....

Grand-fine Romanticism (at its best!)...
a supremely exceptional 'write!'
[I only wish it had continued even longer!]

very serious and long-sustained applause!!
[a 'poetic standing ovation' for this most lovely
  'penning!']
