Like a Lighted Match - Hot and Passionate - Definitely Not For the Prudes Here

My heart burst into flaming love Burning memories there forever Your touch branded eternally on my spirit I've breathed worthless air until you Now I sit here missing you Trapped within this mortal existence This oxygen continuing my loneliness Copyright © 2014 Robert William Gruhn - All Rights Reserved "A poem to me is the essence of any thought, Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky. It can fly like no other bird to places never seen, Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place." © 2014 Robert William Gruhn

This is wonderful Robert...In the line "I've breathed worthless air until you" ...Did you mean unto instead of until?...cheers Tim

Hi Tim, thanks, unto you? until you, until tomorrow, actually they both mean the same thing as prepositions, in other words the air I breathed was worthless until she entered my atmospheric space. "unto" is the Scandinavian version! I prefer the latter, cheers, Robert
