Breathe

Breathe my name on the wind and you’ll find me
In those soft shivers
That murmur in the dark
That rustling whisper of laughs
We tried so hard to conceal
As we tiptoed out into to the moonlight

Sigh my name under the stars and you’ll find me
Where we wrestled and rolled in passions embrace
under the lunar light in her shimmering velvet skies

Utter my name on bated breath and I will find you
Feeling you gasp as I take your hand in mine
Your sparkling eyes …
Your triumphant grin, your hearts rat-a-tatting drumbeat roll
You guessed you may find me, where you never had before

Under your skin you felt me,
Felt my breath on your neck as we shared sweet secrets,
As I felt you breathe in my gasp that first time,
and utter out a gentle whisper of reassurance on a blissful sigh
….a murmur of devotion as you reached your peak, tumbling into ecstasy
Waking to the first rays of dawn, sunrise never better than in your arms
hand in hand we stammered our farewells…

I carried you with me in my heart… as you have carried me under your skin
… yes I remember
after all this time I still feel you … as you feel me
A slow smile and all angst disappears 
we melt to one, united in embrace
This gentle spark igniting a furnace of passion 
soaring on fiery wings of ardour’s clashing titans
Through fervors blazing heat 
only one thought cuts the suffocating intensity
…..Breathe…
