Laura Breidenthal Poet Romanticism

One Night

One word will take me there,
One soundless gaze
One glimmer on your lips
One inhalation
One feeling
One night...

We breathe eachother
We fall together
As space between us closes
As the language of our desires
Reach our intwined inspirations,
Silence is shamed
Do not doubt it-
Do not fear it-
Our love is loud between us
Natural, fleshy, grand and brave

Sparks shoot off in my brain,
Spiralling down to my heart's core
Chemicals combine
Cells are nurtured, 
I feel your painful need
Expanding my chest's tingles,
My lungs working for a new kind of oxygen,
The heat within raging and possessing me

Well and long do we all deny
What our very bodies battle for
No more, no more!
I will not shy away from your caress
Nor tear myself empty from your arms
I shall let my deepest oceans rise
In your moonlit light
The  restless gravity of your love
Pulling the tides

Yes, one night,
One sensation
One divine right
Through many sighs,
Through the hot glow of Destiny's skies,
We shall die and be made infinite

Justin Bordner March 21, 2016 at 7:11 PM The word one can also spell the word eon, this truth seems to encapsulate the romantic splendor of this poem Laura...in love, all that is needed for infinity isa single moment of union. "My lungs working for a new kind of ooxygen...The restless gravity of your love pulling the tides." The alchemy of love, death and forever are so beautifully alive in you Poetess..J.A.B. Laura Breidenthal March 22, 2016 at 9:03 AM As always, Justin you are spot on! I wanted to fuse them all together into something new to breathe. It's really about the heart battling the mind here, and letting doubts and fears fly away to make room for greater things that will last forever. It's about speaking about these desires without fear of being shamed or ridiculed for it. It's about the death of those fears and the death of the old man mentalities, eternalizing soul power by love. You understand this one, thank you sweet Poet! ~Laura

Timothy Hicks March 21, 2016 at 7:03 PM This sure was a sensual piece of writing, Laura. An exciting rush to the mind (and heart's) imagination. "My lungs working for a new kind of oxygen" ... loved this line! It's as if you're exploring new territory and not sure how to proceed ... but the body carries on in any case. And of course, a killer ending too ... I wonder why love and lust is often associated with death? Perhaps because it's a former mentality that is dying, like the cocoon dies so the butterfly can emerge. Great poem! Laura Breidenthal March 22, 2016 at 8:55 AM I s'pose that ending can go in many directions, and yes, exactly! Yay, I'm glad you liked that line, and thanks for your cool feedback on this poem. I was trying to underline a bit of mind vs body in this poem, in this case they are on the same wavelength. My favorite lines of this poem are "Well and long do we all deny what our very bodies battle for--No more, no more!" ~Laura
