Yea, only once have I tasted
innocence exhaled upon me
My heart hushed in awe
As baby's breath kissed me
Never in time had my senses been wakened
Till faint fair of breath did
Whisper upon my neck shaken
Like teardrops in delicate
Her breath hugged close my neck
As she cuddled and nested
As she inhaled all of me
Oh my, how stricken
How aware I'd yes become
To a new sense of beauty
Enveloping me.
Hug deeper my neck
My sweet child of rare
For today you have lit yes,
My heart vaulted gray
Undone I shall remain
From this day forth
For the Baby's breath I inhaled
Shall forever be unearthed.
Yes, now I know
Yet only in part
What love pure remains
Sadly only in part
For the baby's breath
That did collapse upon me
Left me searching the landscape
Of all eternity
For yes, in that moment
When her breath found my neck
I tasted my sorrow
My regret close of vest
For love that I imagined
Stood tall in times grasp
Merely melted in elegance
By comparison to this,
Yes, baby's breath
Upon my neck so old
Signaled my heart quickly
To that which was stole
Yes, baby's breath upon my neck
Bathing my heart
Restoring my soul
My praise I sing high
This day now in time
For rememberance of baby's breath
Has saved me this day
Alas, how sweet the kiss
She once in times lite
Did breathe into me.
How beautiful the soul that it put to paper in this...a blessed soul I say, so full of the knowledge of all that encompasses life...what is truly worth noticing.
so bittersweet mi amigo, almost hurts my heart to read

Above all else, Rodney, you stand 'naked' before us in all you write, unselfconscious and true. My gaze back at you always brings an audible sigh.. This piece, like others of yours, passed through me; moved me; will linger. katy.
