Breathe Upon These Miles - Jan. 09, 2011



Breathe Upon These Miles

Softly breathe upon these miles between you and I
Where they will not continue to seem so far
Let them fall by the wayside
So that I am able to look into your eyes
No matter where we are

I cannot help but wish to be cradled in your hours
To be ever listening to your heartbeat
A sound quieting my own
Filling my world with precious showers
'Tis when I feel complete

Until the moment comes when you softly breathe
Upon these miles between you and me
Here I will be, by the wayside
Until your breath shows the way that leads
To erase all these miles I see

Softly breathe upon these miles between you and I
Until they no longer continue to exist
Let them fall by the wayside
So that I am able to look into your eyes
And be cradled in your kiss

    Although I would never admit it under oath, Neva you are making, no forcing me, to like the poetry of love.

    Ooo, gorgeous shot to start things out - then a thoughtful piece accompanying. Your pieces never seem to leave me feeling any less than beaming in the aftermath.

    I like the flow of this one Neva. Is it a form of rondeau? The repetition works well to gently push your desires.
