Laura Breidenthal Poet Free verse

What I Remember of You

Your eyes, blue,
They said everything, asked everything
Loved everything
Soft, they were so soft

You were not ashamed
I was an outcast, inescapably
Filled with anxiety and pain
Yet you offered me your warm hand
Without the pressure of fitting in it perfectly

It was not profound,
It did not leave me senseless and sleepless
But I still remember the peace of our silence
The music, swelling seas and sways
And your breath, 
Fresh, energizing, cool
A calm breeze wafting mint

Justin Bordner October 30, 2017 at 6:35 PM Your description of love's simplicity in natural grace is very beautiful Poetess. When love can enjoy stillness, and calm silence, then perhaps it will love itself...J.A.B. Laura Breidenthal October 30, 2017 at 7:21 PM Beautiful thought Justin.. I cherish the stillness of love with all of its fascinating undertones<3 ~Laura

James Inman October 28, 2017 at 8:26 AM A lovely write Laura, not looking for perfection, just appreciating the simple desire of someone to want you and knowing they might be as lonely as you are.
