The Breath of Sighs

On the breath of sighs

I seek to be reborn into the warmth

Of love sated in the glimmer

Of whispers sweeping away the years.

 

On the breath of sighs

I touch the tenderest part of you,

Sheltered in a heart

Whose beats divide the onrush of worry

From the hand that moves within--

And hope that is enough.

 

In this breath, this momentary pause,

Can we make enough room

To find each other

Again

And again.

"Of whispers sweeping away the years" .. I can relate ! .. There is always that little space waiting in the heart, to share again and again .. . .

That last stanza expresses one lover's very attractive proposal.
I hope the deal is made.
Smart, perceptive and artful work, Audrey.

Warm and sizzling in the best possible way .. and a depth that makes the reader wonder, '.. Sheltered in a heart ~ Whose beats divide the onrush of worry ..'

I liked the last stanza, what a nice well written part of elusiveness and so touching the same time... you got me! :)
