standing on a shadow's lace

Breathless

I didn’t
see it coming
wind lurking
in the darkness
sweetly kissing
the curve
of my cheek
weightless fingers
played with
my hair
stealing
my breath
making me
tremble
then again
flew away
no where
bound

Make sure you keep open the windows of your soul, that way it can come and go easily.  It will come to you anyway, best if it just blows through, does less harm than swirling around inside breaking things.

Always feelings touching feelings woven through out your words.  Nice work.

I saw this when it was first posted, and didn't reply just then....can't remember why, because it's a very moving piece -- and something that a guy can relate to in spite of the subject, having given that caress and knowing the import of it when it's real.

yes, you left me breathless

I said I'm going to buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
