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 |

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 --------------------- ahhhhhh thank you...I can breathe now  this is beautiful jer, so lovely in its devotion and it is so serene and calming to read... your words are written so well that the reader can feel those healing winds too *SIGH*... this poem needs to be Inhaled..not read (smile) very nice...very. stalking you like oxygen, your jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

What a beautiful tribute. "She is the air that tastes so sweetly, she is the air so completely," what a way to end an already perfect poem. You have such a way with words and your thoughts flow so well. I agree with Janet, this poem is so visual and calming that the reader can't help but re-read it and ingest every emotion, as if your emotions were coming from the very depth of our soul too. Do share more poetry with us! Have you shown this to her yet, I wonder? Take care, Melissa Honeybee |
