We fell
together
like words on a page.
Breath caught;
in the margins
between our bodies.
The biggest moments
in our lives
can only be
conveyed through a whisper,
or a SHOUT. My heart
says it all.
–
In my mouth
a hint of oyster,
tears half-salted. I can’t breathe.
My fingers dance
through your hair and I
find a rhythm
and I think maybe
you instigated
the whole thing
but it’s still music.
The kind of music
that makes you,
fall in love.
–
Heart to heart. I exhale.
Bodies breaking gently,
pressing and decompressing
like waves. I hold my breath.
We cling
lips, fingers, tongue
pausing
to steal a breath.
Your skin
touches my skin.
It’s too hot
to think.
DON’T THINK.
Just smile and float.
–
There’s something
stuck in my heart,
to feel is a blessing
and a curse.
We are all
the people in the world
when we are
tangled up together.
We are magenta.
–
My feelings
feel infinite.
I push you away.
I inhale deeply.
The air is cold
without your breath
inside of it.
It’s not enough.
–
There was no before
because I am sure
that I didn’t know
how to breathe
until you kissed me.
You were
my first breath,
I am alive
because of you.

I am auditing a free poetry class. Just started. Trying to understand rhythm but I have zero musical sense so I am not sure if I have achieved the effect I was after.
