Poem Title:
Poem
Breathe Sponsor: Mystic Rose When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old and it takes you to the caves where anything turns gold you don't ask any questions and you don't dare breathe you just follow her, like a light weight tumbled weed Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune every step a little deeper than the crevices of moon you can almost taste the air, on your tonguing clepe you can down the stars of heaven in one single leap Taking you by the waist it shall dance you through the elixir of happiness when your feeling down n' blue you just thank the Lord for the magic of this gift all you need is skin n' eyes to cross her lowly rift When night claims you like a wayward leaf of old and takes you to her caves, all etched with gold don't ask her any questions just go ahead breathe no, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe, yes breathe... As a single act I retreat and take one more deep breath I stare in awe watching her move as her arm I caress I pray she always looks at me with those eyes so brown if only I had made a throne, for she deserves a crown Those sparkly stars flutter as she walks toward the balcony that sweet scent she carries while we explore our anatomy I ponder when I'll surprise her with a striking ring of gold thoughts leading to our intentions this night shall unfold A glass of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries she lays upon the handmade quilt of perfect embroidery her golden locks of fragrance linger for an opening of teasing and I keep quiet and continue to concentrate on my breathing Our reveries and castle caves create a content way of life my creaking soul travels hoping she will be my wife for now don't ask her any questions just go ahead breathe no, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe, yes breathe...
