One Breath

Emotions bursting

Like buds in the spring

You ask me now

What does all this mean

Dancing in circles

Feeling everything

All at once

It’s too much

Forcing you to scream

Looking at me

But seeing right through

Your arms outstretched

But I can’t seem to reach you

The sky it falls

And melts into the grass

Strangely beautiful and reassuring

But it is fading and does not last

Clouds rolling by

As fast as a train

You stand there looking up

Your eyes begin to flow

And smear across your face

Letting go of all the pain

Unable to help

I watch with sorrow

Just know I will return

And stand by you again tomorrow

And for all the tomorrows

You will ever see

To be witnessed in one breath

A candle that burns a flame

Just for you

I have kept

On the chance of your

Future happiness

I have not slept

I like this. It has an attractive tone and cadence. There is a delicacy to this poem. Well done overall...

One thing - When poems run on with no breaks they are hard work. Of course if you are striving for a breathless rush then this is it. However, I put breaks in as I read so I could 'breath' a bit.

This is crushing emotion. Painful, but written with such powerful imagery that it is impossible to look away from. This is quite amazing work.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

You conveyed your bursting emotions so perfectly!

[Seshat Nidaba]

Much better here out in the open then hidden on a blog Black Swan, really great stuff. Edgy with a special emotive range. Best I've read from you thus far I think.
