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.

Bluesy - Your words have lifted the day. They've also caused my head to swell which means I definitely gotta get a bigger hat. LOL. So glad you liked the quotes and thanks loads for stopping in to enjoy. Namyh

PIP - "Love and heartache they just kinda go together like peanut butter and jelly". I know exactly what you mean.....when you can't get a hug, you can at least tale a Tylenol. Hallelujah! LOL. Thanks Alana. Namyh

Sky - Don’t ask me where this piece came from. Okay! Okay! If you insist! I’m eating a Burger-King whopper with cheese. I love the fries. I always get a Sprite. I click the television on and the high diving championships are happening. Somewhere between food gulps, romantic thoughts and high dives with a triple twist, this work was born and the rest is history. There! You dragged it out of me. Hey, you know! After that confession, I’m also startin’ to feel a little bit better. Thanks Dr. Sky for your therapy today. Namyh

I enjoyed your poem very much Namyh. Whilst I don't (necessarily) advise romance for everyone, I do most certainly advise everyone to do what you said in your title. It have found it very beneficial to do so.

Owl - Imagine a scenario where you hear Eve say “Adam! Go wash up and come eat dinner. I’ve got a devil of a surprise for you. It’ll put an apple in your day. Trust me!” LOL For Eve, it was Romance. For Adam, it was Faith. Amazing how in life today, the two are often inseparable. Thanks for stopping by to enjoy Owl. Namyh

namyh,
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get around to reading this. I was really missing out on a good one. I agree with all the comments. "Just breathe" is my most common advice. Now go buy that bigger hat! ~L
