Breathless -- Collaboration With Mystic Rose

BREATHLESS I exhale vaporous swirls into the night black and cold watching them race through moonlight, cascading uncontrolled your eyes say everything, and in your gaze I'm frozen I yearn to follow, to submit, and be your chosen. Along the shore of heaven’s starry sea you guide maddening silence shared, your breathing won’t confide I faintly hear some ancient song pulsing rhythms primal we dance while the universe turns to behold our sweet recital Through stony pillars down into Earth’s very bosom led Sounds get swallowed up and bound by words unsaid I smile at the wicked runes somehow now so blessed in the shadow rise and fall of your breathing chest I exhale vaporous swirls into caverns black and cold and watch them void of moonlight, etch the walls in gold My thoughts are growing muddled, so I stop to watch you breathe suffocating in the silence, as I watch you breathe, I can't breathe… Written by: Grahamburglar 1/22/16 BREATHE 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...

Collaboration, with double writes, are interesting in seeing the two personalities and is very telling in poets' abilities to solve problems and to dance together. You two waltz through this in ¾ time and did a lovely write of the breath needed to fall in love with Earth, Sky, or person. It seems to be all in the breathing. Great Job and congratulations to both of you.

Sorry Mystic Rose! I went to January, 2016 to post you a note too but couldn't find it posted on your menu. I'm going blind or you posted it in another month? Well, Ditto!
