Thin air

leaves me gasping on mountain’s peak

no...wait...

that is your private mountain
allowing my      be      here
causing air to thin
making me gulp
deep breaths

you play with clay,
forming peaks
from soft to hard
sculpting well
even leaving drifts of
imaginary snow
on Big Bear

as I watch, you make me miss ~
things ~
make me feel as if
such a command could come
from fingertips
and I miss the tense

would a lady's lips slip
out words to take you away from
your intent,
or use words to convey
her own intentions

would your ear cringe
seeing what you want
but hearing what she needs

so you unwind her sails
there on the mountain peaks
letting her fly

solo

while below she watches as you
allow soft mounds of clay to hold in
mist while you fog her hills
and kiss her valleys

that beg to be snow covered

just to allow her the thin air,

reminding her why
California sighs

Sol, I am speechless, which seldom happens.
This is...this is..incredible, awesome, sensual, and enticing!  
I love it, and just had to get my reply in before all the superlatives had been used.  Well done!

The air is not so thin, where words breathe.

Thank you.

it's not called the Golden State for nothing.  Maybe it has to do with the prices and State Income tax there

Soleil ... me thinks you could move some moutains of your own with this kind of intensity and longing....
I felt the tremors from here...well, I felt something teehee

very impressive write here poetess Noir ...
the imagery is fresh and the analogy laced with sensuality is done to poetic perfection.
You keep "peaking" like this and youre gonna melt that snow.     *L*

noir...

could be the sierras
could be the dunes at pismo
could be a woman finding herself

damp in her dream residue

enjoyed all it could be
from your words
