Breath out, Breath in Love leaped from rocks on high sea cliffs, romping in the winds that pierce the mists, stretching out wings ‘cross sun plush lands to ride on the breaths inhaled by man and search those souls for hearts of stone to infuse Joy into flesh and bone and hear their sighs make songs sing with breath pushed out by Love’s spread wings. What blast of sound can summon Love. What beckon of voice will do. What ring of the phone can hearken it to the heartache that reigns in you. Such crossroad of wonder in the lives of men has starts, beginnings, hopes and ends. It’s a tasty, succulent slice of life that all of us covet and lucky ones bite. We hunger for its pulse and starve ‘til it comes, feeding on its impact with a glorious hum, crying when it’s over dripping tears so frail, thinking we’ll never breathe, love again, or inhale. But Love still leaps from high sea cliffs, with a romp in the wind and a pierce of the mists, yet hears that heartache’s voice so thin that it spreads its wings on the next breath in. Namyh |

I love these two stanzas: We hunger for its pulse and starve ‘til it comes, feeding on its impact with a glorious hum, crying when it’s over dripping tears so frail, thinking we’ll never breathe, love again, or inhale. But Love still leaps from high sea cliffs, with a romp in the wind and a pierce of the mists, yet hears that heartache’s voice so thin that it spreads its wings on the next breath in." They are audiophilically (is that a word?) delicious |

Romping and rolling to a wordless dance, to pulsing waves of pleasure and of love, Feelings that can only go in mime and vocalization. Our first language, before we even learned to talk. Then came Logos, when paradise was lost And troubles began. Except for this poem, when breath of in and out, And sighs and mime and movement convey Things that words can never tell. You picked me up And took me to a world I … Well, I never go to But hopefully … maybe … someday. Thank you. J Hey, nobody's human! |

But Love still leaps from high sea cliffs, with a romp in the wind and a pierce of the mists, yet hears that heartache’s voice so thin that it spreads its wings on the next breath in. This is a very good poem Namph, one of your better ones. Thanks for sharing. Take care. Lindsay |

stevenr – If audiophilically isn’t a word, then I’m making it one now. This may not have been a crime but I’m sure happy you took a bite out and found it delicious. What poet could ask for more. Breath out, Breath in. Thanks stevenr. Namyh |

Dadygoose – To transport the reader is the honored job of the poet. We provide windows for others to look into to see Love, Beauty, Death and Duty etc. The best Transporter isn’t on the starship Enterprise. It’s right here between our ears. So very happy you came along for the ride J. And before Logos revisits, come back and romp and roll to this word-filled poetic dance so the transporting can begin anew. Namyh |

OldBuddyOldPal – I am honored indeed by your words. They do these old bones good. I tried to write by aiming the visions in my head and the feelings in my heart into words that might reach the reader. You confirm that my arrows got through and were on target. Thanks Old Buddy for being an Old Pal with your words. And thanks for that “Oh my!” too. Come back and read again when needed. Namyh |

Lindsay – Don’t ask me where this one came from. Okay, if you insist. I’m watching TV and turn the station where high diving championships are going on. After a while this piece pops into my head and well the rest is history. Amazing it is where we poets get our inspiration. It’s usually from somewhere we least expect which makes us fortunate to be writers of what’s seen and what’s felt and what might be. Thanks for putting a Lindsay in the day with your enjoyment.
