Best Breaths Poems

in silence, we connect through gazes
knitted by starlit eyes ablaze
like dusk's luster wafting by the sill ...
and we need not ramble in paraphrases
of  night’s canticle, while folded hands 
caress the rhythm of  twilight's melody.

how deftly breaths and fireglow understand
our same tunes, our same...

As a misty autumn succumbs to winters harsh chilling grasp.
The sky turns bleak and hues of shrouding grey.
The ominous days unfold shorter and colder.

The remnants of vegetation lie pitifully withered and sparse,
as nature rests dead and in the throws of decay.
Early morning frost like sprinkled...

If on this eve of glistened skies
when crystal snowflakes fall
Amidst the hush of tempered sighs
where heartbeat whispers call

Your mind is lost another place
as moonbeams dance above
In wishes that you long to trace
of visions filled with love

Remember as the evening nears
and stars reflect your smile
Within the...

“When the curtain drops, should we not applaud” ~ by poet
 
age wrinkles the face of youth
and dulls its eyes~
in no time, Death is at my door
a shadow of a shadow...
my ears pretend not to hear
His approach
gasping in ragged breaths ~
His nails
scraping against old bones
Death...

It must be an echo, a melody 
one that holds me near, holds me here
so why do stars glow, is it all a show? 

My lips fight, to recite, 
what I don’t know 

Could I be, should I be, 
the only one you see? 

I...

Silken linens scented of 

  last night's rendezvous,

     still wafting midst

         reticent moments, 

cognac and aromatic

   candlelight burning 'neath

      surreptitious breaths, 

  as we...

this wheat
quivers
like flesh
beneath
the whispers 
of love’s lips 
softly tracing
tongued secrets 
around the edges

I tremble 
the same 
within 
these thoughts...

Life’s not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away! 
don’t be willing to settle for the person you can live with...be willing to wait for the person you can’t live without!!...

“83 BREATHS”



everyone’s hell is a 
different temperature.
the ride into it 
never breaks down.
12 to 12 hell remains.
hell stays like leaches 
sucking what’s left of 
your life.
hell is in every direction, 
every face, and every move.
the words pull from the 
fire and lay upon straw.
before I...

I sit breathing, feel the breaths in and out,
know the breaths long and short, wish the peace 
for heaven and earth, wish for soothing seasons 
of rain and wind, and wish for all to have 
enough food and clothing. 

I sit breathing, feel the breaths...

.........******........


we sit for hours with dawn’s traces rising and falling
how deftly lamps and whispers sustain twin hearts laughing
no need to ramble on long paraphrases ever fluttering
for if stretches of silence gather breath’s shared understanding
…it’s because we were best friends before time’s blessed awakening

With windows open my breaths I am counting
While silent seconds are beating in heart's rhyme.
Silence is a deep well, inside its' waters I'm drowning
A chimera's torrent runs me down and to the surface I can't climb.

Silence shouts for those dreams left behind on desert road
Thirsty...

Beneath me I see you laying lost,broken,in pieces
I wanted to hold you-to tell you this too shall pass
I waited for you to see the beauty inside that only my eyes could see
Beneath me you lay all your beautiful pieces glittering like precious stones
All that glitters...

She takes a breath, a big one
The kind that lifts her chest
She holds magic within herself
Then unleashes all of her Grace
She is purely a creature of light
A force of nature, so absolute, so fragile
She could break herself
Have the world shatter 
Poetry flowing over her skin
As...
