Breathless Moments

Barely six and the bustle winds
through depths of lost descent
where reality hunts the night
dreaming of incoherent content 

here dusk drifts off ever deep
butterfly float on off to sleep
in wings of the dormant pine 
almost silently still, she weeps

but all I hear are angelic voices
begging on moonbeams to fly
breathless meaningful moments 
singing in every teardrop cried

vous avez pris mon souffle

as I placed my hands upon her heart
a path opened to intimate ardor
and a pleasingly inauspicious start

Hey Timmy , I've been following you for about 3 yrs now----not stalking---but in a good way. Your ability to reach the reader and identify with the emotional side of almost any one is expanding rapidly. Capturing and holding the reader, in my opinion is essentially important, but not disappointing the reader at the "La Fin" is imperative , n'est-ce pas, Keep writing my friend.

Hands upon my heart would take my breath away, too. Your second to last verse is beyond lovely, Tim.
