Your breath, my breath

Your breath is carved across my chilled cheeks,

don't you remember your kindness that I cherished?

You always heard the calls between my skin that brewed

as the hotness of your breath landed on my skin.

You smiled and asked to hear more, I know you did,

while the sun warmed my eyes and you lifted me under the water,

smiles across your face with sunlight.

Your possessions are carved into my skin, perfect streaks that sting with air,

your breath, my breath, don't you see that?

What's mine is yours, and what's yours

is yours...

But you can never take away from me what you've left me with,

your breath, my breath,

you can never dissolve all the things you've said, like warm sand squished

underneath my toes, but only as they sunk between yours.

You can never lose the moonlit nights you cried my name, tears rolling down

like kisses of moonlight to crave your lips like a dream I'll never live.

Don't pretend you don't feel it, I know you did care like I did,

as you took me in your arms, warmth wrapping around my body

like a blanket of your arms, welcoming me,

just like they always did.

"you can never take away from me what you've left me with" = story of my life.
I call it a mark written on the body.

That feeling of needing to be understood, to say your emotions. Expressed well.

loving.beautiful. just a great poem! ^^

[Derek S.Keck]

I feel like your poetry mirrors my life experience. Even though theres that undertone in the poem of that sense of loss, given by the hands of the other lover, theres also a sense of the sacredness and beauty of the love the speaker shares with that other person. Bled poetry adds such a more personal and beautiful aspect to the poem. Outstanding!
