Exhaled as Poetry

I feel your tenderness underneath my bare feet;
see my face as a reflection
of a flame, in your eyes.  
One thousand teardrops
fell from your heart,
love swallowed each one.
Tasting comfort inside a smile,
a heart grows fond of drinking
love’s replies.

Your words fall as leaves
into the river of my heart‘s desire,
come to life
as I exhale them as poetry.
Each breath I take
rises against another,
creating feelings inside my heart,
ringing in tones that listen to each thought;
bringing such a lovely peace
to me.

I am embraced by breezes
stirred from a lasting love
that has grown strong like an oak tree,
it bends but never breaks.
Love now sails as notes
pouring from my lips.
My heart leaps with joy
and sings replies perhaps unheard,
but felt with each breath
I take.

I bet they hear them as well...how could they not?

Powerful and beautiful words and artwork. Words can be magic. Create hope or knock someone down forever. I like the way you expressed your desire in this poem.
"Your words fall as leaves
into the river of my heart‘s desire,"
I tell people. Be careful what you say and do. Words and actions have consequences. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

We are lead by different things at different times , often by love , sometimes by instinct, also by duty. Should we ever pick only one. These words are tender and true , which makes them strong.
