PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Just one breath

from his lips to my neck, causes

tidal waves to crash,

earthquakes to erupt,

and tornadoes to let loose within my soul.

My breath is cut short,

I'm found gasping...

for...

fresh...

air...

yearning for cool currents

of winds in the cirrus clouds

amongst the light blue skies.

Suddenly-

Panic sweeps around me

like a broom quickly cleaning

the dust of uncertainty,

rising in a thick smoke that engulfs

my every cell.

It's a living hell

to live in his heavenly presence.

But happiness finds me

in the oddest places

at the most peculiar times.

Without him, my every move

my every deed

my every undeniable need

comes to a jarring halt

upon the gates of decision.

I want him.

I need him.

But, must I pursue

a love that I fear may never be equal?

Alas, this is the undying question

in the story of my life's sequel.
