Breathe

Yes breathe the thinning air, our hearts dance ever higher
Stare the lovers' stare, gold dripping from desire
Whisper me a promise, we'll waltz into a dream
Up the passages of darkness, under luminous moonbeams

To the rhythm of our souls, where time exists no more
This never ending lovers' dance with stardust on the floor
Our hearts will beat as one, dancing deep into the night
Never letting go, trying to quench love's appetite

Your serenade of blissfulness which echoes through the cave
With captured plunder we'll escape, our thoughts will misbehave
The moon will blush, the stars will wink, the moment last forever
As we drink a cup of happiness, fulfill Cupid's endeavor

So breathe my wayward leaf of old, fall into this dream
Waltz up and down the stairs of rune, where time is not redeemed
Deep in the crevices of the moon, taste the dripping gold
Let's take this breath together, 'til both are leaves of old

I love this DT:) To create a poem around a necessity of life and weave in a romance is brilliant. The feel is intimate with nature blessing their union as the two joyfully dance. Beautiful writing, a joy to read. a fave, 7+ lynnxxx thinking of you:)
