I want to be next to you
nose to nose
Quiet
the sound of your breath
echoes over mine
the pulsing of your heart
pumps a calm rhythm
soothing the day away
and you are looking at me
I swim in your gaze
The calm
is through you
Hold your breath
Imagine me
In front of you
With a smile
Open your eyes
Ask yourself
What you will do
With me this time
The slow breath I exhale
Travels past my lips
No words travel along the
Cold vapors
Only shadows of the
Bitter winter leaving
One last stain upon our skin
I wait still
Through this cold dark lone
As I waited in summers past
Always burned in
The hot airs’ glow
Perhaps a long, slow
Spring this year
So flowers will find roots
And trees may provide shade
Comfortable seasons
To bring an end to my waiting
Beneath my breath
Below my heart
Is your home
A place always with me
Never speaking a word of you
Always feeling you
Not love, always longing
Place me on a pedestal
Place me in your thoughts
A place in your life
Beneath your heart
