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?

Each breath I take

bringing such a lovely peace

Very good piece "One thousand teardrops fell from your heart, love swallowed each one" is my favorite line, I love it.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Could love be any greater when the recipient of one's heart means the world to them. It's profound to simply comprehend the idea of a muse causing one to become aware of everything..bringing all senses to life.

You also gave me some sad images of sacrifice as the ill's of one who needed to be saved were taken by the other. This poem spoke to me about not only love of the summertime novelty type..but of serious commitment where one is willing to go to some dark and scary places to restore their lover to who they are too weak to be.

Each ripple of affection is one of a never ending emotion. The love will never grow stale or stagnant. It will forever nurture and give life's energy. This love will will reach milestones that tower over the milestones of the previous days forever.

I was touched by your elegant words...but only fear that your deeper meanings may be lost in the smooth flow of your style. I always have to remember to dig deeper...If I found that my love held another up...
just my love alone..I may just die on the spot.
