Your Breath

To be in the absence of your content breath I sink with ease -deep within a weeping lake My hands filled with the heaviness of empty I sink with ease -it weighs me The echo of nothingness undulates within me Pressing on my outsides -I feel all of my insides In the absence of your warmth, I am warmed by The pressing on my outsides -embrace Barren suspension where I feel nothing below My eyes grow useless as I sink -the light dims My thoughts seep into the forever darkness My eyes useless -they close Dreams scatter between the flickering moonlight As barren as this place -my depths are hollowed My heart rests from the ache of reaching for you As barren as this place- hibernate I am undisturbed until you move these waters Lifted to the surface- my hand floats in yours Filled with you and freed from dim heaviness Lifted to the surface -your breath March 10, 2006
