She is the air that I see She is the air that surrounds me One of the things I cannot decide Is where beneath Heaven Begins the all encompassing sky Where she resides The lack of oxygen sometimes kills Down here below Heaven Thoughts of her sometimes fills The void that chills She is the air that I need She is the air that I breathe There is nothing I would rather feel Than the cool, calm caress Of a wind that somehow heals This pleasure I steal The desire for this thing is so much The closeness of her breath The way only it can touch It is my only crutch She is the air that tastes so sweetly She is the air so completely |

This is very nice - and very heartfelt, JML.  'Writing sharpens life; life enriches writing' Sylvia Plath |
