Respiration

Inhale-
I can see your brown eyes.
The pigment of earth…
They supply life to your nature
Sending twin streams trailing down
Pooling upon your precipice and
Warmly cooling your edges.
Those cheeks appear delighted!
They lightly reflect your beauty,
Then converge to greet each other
Along your strong chin, separating
Me from your lips, barricading
Me from her scorched body.
I can’t see her eyes…

Exhale-
I can listen into your darkness:
Your broken fingers scrape-
She can’t grasp my hand.
Your bruised body drags-
She cringes at my embrace.
Your unspoken agony wails-
She cries when I am near.
Yet, in your symphony of sadness,
You say you Love me.
But her Love is too soft.
So she flees to her dim asylum
And then you’re gone.

I wish I could solely:
Inhale your pain to
Remove your dark prison;
Exhale your beauty to
Show the world an angel.
But Atlas only has two arms.
I have only one voice.
Alas, in our breath,
We still shared life.
