Quivered Breath

Against your cheek, the brush of sigh, reminds me of the reasons why
Soft and pale as a summer dress, swept indelible by my caress
To your ear my heart travails, a warmer wish as sunshine sails
And gentle moans of miss you more, surfeit the air displacing veils
Entwined in thought each moment’s calm, surprises lilt and linger on
We rise on highs of currents wise; that tingle fleet as butterflies
Suppose that night, in heavy drape; opaque of sight in sultry cape
These escapades the wind and me, a haunting play in shivered plea
And wish I may, with all my might, to be the wind’s persistent slight
To still beside in charmed abide, the fore emotion rife with pride
So speed beneath each step serene, as quivered breath the wind to glean

...I'm going back to read it some more, but this is fascinating...

"To your ear my heart travails, a warmer wish as sunshine sails
And gentle moans of miss you more, surfeit the air displacing veils"

The strength grows in your words gaining depth, where every day you are a step higher among the heavens. I felt the veins in these words of germination.
