no words are suspended
between silence of night

touched lips and life inhaled
into souls once breathless
iii
the color of night shimmers
in the afterglow of rightness
to form paths of intimacy
fused into skin as fingertips
ink their own course

on circumvent from @CCfire
"I'd have 'of life's cliff' as one entire line joined to the preceding line. Our destiny could stand alone. I'd get rid of 'only' in the next vignette. Some strong emotions in this." -

About Me
About me
I have always written, on the back of old envelopes, on napkins, scraps of paper. The words were for my eyes only til Chez (CCfire) thought it was time I should share with others.

"a stanza of poets"
a collection of emotions
flowing gently across pages
each word heralds moments
never to be forgotten
