First Apprehensive Breath Entering is a fearless thrust of pure intuition When the heart grows faint in its maniacal drum Swallowing the dunes is by far less difficult than speech Although, the senses sharpen in their own telling of truth It is you that brings the sea rise up inside of me Echoed in its quiet, immeasurable and everlasting Though I have grieved my own wondrous fear Causing me to step around the fullness of my desire Just a front of cool breeze masks the course of fire It is you that moves the wake of my soul The song that sings within my body, within my mind As I gasp away the vulnerable beads that sheen my skin Oh, but the dreams that you bestow have haunted me Leaving nude a picture in perception only I caress Drawn deep into my lungs, hope and ache made perfect Mixing bubbling sea and liquid fire, blood flow these depths For I see more in the passion of half lit eyes Clarity is tangible when I enter your wild rooms The smell of your neck calls my mind to disrobe To hold within itself this passions pound in waves While every season brings to bloom another morn Another starlit charm rapt in black velvet midnight The terror coming in repeals and swells in Braille And my response is unrehearsed each time Copyright Kkh 11/15/05 |

Kathy, passion and so much more flows heartily within this piece...Each swell brings to mind a crest that can only be sensed so easily by yourself. Very nicely done, yes....yes it is! |
