Notes About The Poem

Inhale To Breathe Out

See truth in lying, love in hate
Hurt in happy, early in late
Eat sweet hot sugar
Salty savoury food
             Eat licking while kissing
             Tongue teasingly glued
             Hear tears in hiding, hate in love
             Pain in placate, bummed-out in above
Breath air into lifeless
Inhale to breathe out
Kiss sight into eyeless
Breathe soft and real loud
             Come find my arms open
             Come see my eyes smile
             Feel how you're unbroken
             Stay whole for a while

Phillip Garcia April 30, 2017 at 2:35 PM Hear tears in hiding & kiss sight eyeless are winning poems on their own. For a second I thought it might be an acrostic because the first 4 lines say "shes" but then I remembered. This is top-notch D-Dub. All the words serve a purpose and well together. Darren White April 30, 2017 at 2:42 PM Thank you Phillip! Hehe about that acrostic, I hadn't even noticed that :) Glad you like my poem.
