for now you own my very breath. Every waking thought consumes, and all my dreams are dreams of you. "or healer to awaken dead. I smell your scent upon the breeze-- I feel your fingers tracing me. once a lion, now appeased. And should at first I meet my death, I'll haunt this earth, to breathe your breath. in hopes I have a part in dreams..." proof of his sincerity... "Oh" I said, "You're poetry..." "No." He wept. "I'm only me." and cradled me to my surprise... "I shall not leave you, not with ease." And still? I find it hard to breathe. Every breath I breathe--he's there.

He silenced me with depth of eyes and cradled me to my surprise... "I shall not leave you, not with ease." And still? I find it hard to breathe. I feel the breath of stifled air-- Every breath I breathe--he's there. Yep, I know this feeling…much to well. You got me with this one Karen. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Drawing me in grace of ease... once a lion, now appeased. And should at first I meet my death, I'll haunt this earth, to breathe your breath. WOW!!!!!!!!!Too excellent to have been written by a human being, Karen.... a witch, maybe..... ~ big hugs & take a bow for this one! I really enjoyed!

BRAVO!!! Oh my gosh, this is soooooo powerful, sweet friend, I know this feeling so well where we just want to stay defensive from someone yet their intentions keep on allurng hearts of one another and finally we can't help but give into those desires! (sigh) This is fantastic, sweet friend, I LOVE IT, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

A single tear rode down his cheek-- proof of his sincerity... "Oh" I said, "You're poetry..." "No." He wept. "I'm only me." Sure hope this is the saddest thing I read all night...it's more than enough. |

I wish that we had never met-- for now you own my very breath. Every waking thought consumes, and all my dreams are dreams of you. "Truly, you are witch," he said, "or healer to awaken dead. I smell your scent upon the breeze-- I feel your fingers tracing me. Drawing me in grace of ease... once a lion, now appeased. And should at first I meet my death, I'll haunt this earth, to breathe your breath. ================================ This has always been one of my faves of yours...how could it not be? you wrote me while you were writing you... and it took my breath away. a moth anthem baby... and a very very cool write. I remembering being one and the same ... |
