Breath


your face is a language
and it’s speech fits my skin
a conversation of touch
where night melts into morning
unspoken hilltop and valley words
some sigh below a whisper
butterflylash breeze cools
discussing with eyes
it is all about the rewards
of breath

"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

"your face is a language"

"a conversation of touch"

"discussing with eyes"

~ Now that's what I would call close ~ and highly romantic!!! ~ communication!

Loved this!

May your intimate discourse continue forever more!

Well, take my breath away!

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

I like the lineage in this. And no punctuation makes you read it fast without pause. One complete thought in one breath
