exhale the loneliness

and the pain came with images
and sounds

-

his eyes
piercing deeply
while he moved

(oh so slowly)

his lips
(softly)
breathing my name

later

his steady heartbeat
playing a rhythm on my back
arm draped over my waist
as i lay
drifting in early morning sunshine

-

blue skies lift my spirits for a while
his face colouring my daydreams

yet still

dark nights always play companion
to useless tears

addicted to him
i crave my next fix

a way to
exhale the loneliness

    "Dark nights always play companion to useless tears"

    I always like the moment I find in your poems. That line seems simple by itself but comes with the strength of truth (personal experience and repetition). You've punched me in the gut again, but I'm a glutton for punishment.

    "a way to exhale the lonliness"
    that lines feels so powerful to me...maybe that's not the right word... powerful and wishful?? God, i wish i could exhale lonliness. those are the perfect words for what i wish right now.
    i applaud this because of your style and choice of words, because of the way i followed each line with moving pictures in my mind and because of the last line.

    very powerful emotions here...nice piece....the only suggestion i would offer for improvment is perhaps a different colour font or background, my old eyes had trouble with this choice.

    The black letters are a little hard to read on the purple background, but otherwise...wow. I've been missing your poetry, and haven't read it in a while, so I think I have some reading to do...

    Um a bit more than yeah, this has the resonance of a 'love' poem yet, I keep hearing a sort of melancholy vibration to it, it is as if, there is more to him being there than you, whilst I wouldn't say 'used' is there a case of a need for company rather than a want?

    great job

    i like very good... but the only problem is that the words are in blck and so is the background so you have to highlight it to read it.. katie
