My eyes will write this poem about air far from nothing gently wombs our planet whose breezes usher in the winter soon, allows the Sun to pass to paint the wall. It's oxygen permits the tiny spark that we both pray will feed a teeming flame, I'll circulate through it as it through me and swim the wind of prophesy, of promise. We'll chase the air between us with our kiss, dissipate all pain, the time and distance and ease the freer things we may have missed this breathing air and Love and our existence. |

With so much to bend our minds in painful understanding of the chaos of the times, I am grateful for the breath of air by which the kiss is chaste |

Richard, I liked the whole poem, but the last line was really good. Thanks for sharing your wonderful poetry. "Love makes the world go around" |

Ahh, I think I can guess who this is for and if not, I hope there would be someone soon, as JM said, it contained a sigh waiting to happen. Richard, this was very well done indeed. Enjoyed. |

A sigh, yes a sigh--this whispers a lullaby--I wanted to dance. "I am a sky where spirits live. |

I have been working up my courage to submit something after a long time away from my friends here. Chose your poem as the first to read on my return, and am again awed by the gift you have. Beautiful! |
