Needing Air to Breathe

I gift you with Respect
fingers to fingers
lips to lips,
letting it seep through
hoping you know and feel
the difference in the heat
of passion.

One kiss can undermine it all,
catching my breath,
trying to seize the understanding of,
not wanting to be wishful
nor hopeful, but true.

You may rest in the shadows
of your own spirit
while you raid my own,
a constant trigger
on my heart, while
your presence listens
to the air that I breathe.

You own yours, as I
own my own feelings
and I let time decide
who belongs in who's world,
as I embrace the love
still to be found.

I welcome the uncertainty of it all,
letting you breathe your "needing air"
holding my soul windless,
reflecting on tomorrow's touch:
those fingers to fingers and
lips to lips.

Maureen, this is pricelss:

You may rest in the shadows
of your own spirit
while you raid my own,
a constant trigger
on my heart, while
your presence listens
to the air that I breathe.

this entire poem is indeed a very compassionate gift.

So much maturity in your writing, conjuring visions of what might, is and may, be.

I like it.

good things come to those that wait...just hate hearing that.lol agree with you though,it seem to be like that old 60's poster, if you love something set it free and if it comes back it's yours...tender and touching writing...

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
