yesterday got away from my poetry blogging, at least in the sharing of it here. I sent out two ‘Love’ poems that I diligently reworked late into the night and early morning to be published here >>>> at Dancing Horse Group Media.
I present one of them to you…
Breath’s Moist Hunger
I inhaled his air as he passed
It tasted of yesterday’s yearning
And last night’s lonely
I didn’t want that in my lungs
I didn’t want that through my body
My exhale didn’t rid the breath of him
It’s what we do when breathing
The wind holds us in whirls and swirls
Wisps of exhale caught in the inhale
For a moment I gasped in the clean fresh of trees
Even out my breath to morning dew and green
To open sky and the call of crows
Out goes the lonely yearning
In with the verdant and open sky
Fills me wide and clean as a bird flies
I linger here with the trees
With the flow of air caught to flight
And azure blue becomes my breath.
The wander of lovers draped in lust
Pass me with desire’s breath
Of poems and sweat on rumpled sheets
I give them my breath of wings and blue
I gulp in deep their moist hunger
I let it fill my body.
wonderful, lyrical poem of longing…thanks!
