The Air That You Breathe

"The wind that speaks her name...."

The Air That You Breathe

 

Let me slip into you life

As easily as the breeze slips through the trees.

Because like the breeze, I am already there

And cannot be denied.

 

I will caress your leaves

Play with your hair

And brush your skin with a kiss

 

And on those hot sticky days of summer

You will long for just a hint of me

 

And on those frozen days of winter

I will remind you I am still here

With an icy blast

 

But know that I am always near

Right beside you

You won’t always see me

You won’t often hear me

But you will always feel me

Love is a breeze that touches us even as we stand still. So lovely your words, Rubie

Thank you, lynn. Indeed it is....

This is a lovely poem. I'm glad you name scrolled onto my page. This has a great gentle sensuality to it that is not pushed onto your reader but meanders like a teasing breeze. Love is just like this, it slips in almost unnoticed and is just there. sometimes you notice it and give it lots of attention, and others it's just there in the background waiting...but it never really leaves you..not if it was really love. Glad I stepped into this one this afternoon. It's a lovely way to end my day and head home to the family.

Wow! Thank you so much for a review that's even better than the piece itself!
You've made my day!!

[JayceeC]

I'm glad if it made you smile, Your poem gave me the warm fuzzies, so you deserve at least that in response.

Excellent writing, Rubie! I love this! You bring such tactile, auditory, and tangible descriptions to your writing. Very nice! It transported me outside to my favorite clump of trees in the autumn winds. Just beautiful!

[rubie]

such wonderful words of undying love...perhaps the most romantic piece I have read today...i love the imagery of being the wind: always present, never denied.. we do feel the ones who are no longer with us...beautiful poetry , my friend :)

[rubie]

Yes, the spirit of those we love is always with us, as is the wind...
Thank you for your kind words, my friend. Always appreciate your visits.
