Droplets of Breath
Feel the exchange of our perfumed breath
Expelling our air to each other attest
Nary to hide what is known from within
Droplets of breath to familiar kindred
We are the rhythm of heart beats as one
Softly together in unison become
Sharing a vision and landscape of dreams
Lasting forever as much as that seems
We whisper the words that only we hear
For mist to the others and it disappears
Rise like the stars in cool summer night
Never to fade under bright of moon light
Light of our fire it doth touch the soul
Sweet words in which we are tethered behold
Knowing and feeling that rightly it be
All of the heart for it’s been centuries
Droplets of breath on the wind we send thee
Whispers of voices like song of the trees
Unwrapping treasures of unspoken word
For nary for others will be ever heard
Droplets of breath to be wholly consumed
Wrapped warmly and sweetly in each other’s hue
Touching two souls through the mist of the dew
Bringing together foreverness grew
For sweetest of rose that you are on the vine
Holding breaths droplets on petals divine
Softly envelop they nourish and twine
All of breaths droplets as sweetly as wine
As gently as autumn’s leaves scurry on in
A pleasant breeze with breaths droplets begin
As perfumed and fragrant of the tender rose
Something that you and I only behold
