Another Chance to Breathe

The first time I drew a breath of you

My heart lost the ability to acknowledge

The existance of any other

Your smile painted itself a mural

Upon the walls of my soul

Crimson, and then blue...

The stormclouds came

A flash and my breath was gone

My soul a bitter pool of running paint

Yet my heart wouldn't allow any other

To enter in and own it in the way you had

I stood alone

And here you are before me again

Do you see that the tears have dried

Though the heart would not fold?

How I've longed to breathe again

These arms yearn to embrace

God's finest work of art

Is it a chance to hold you again

Or a chance to fall and fail again?

I do not know

Yet the heart knows what she wants

With each breath I draw in...

It has always been you

Beautifully written. I love how your brain fights with your heart on a decision to love again. But in the end(as usual), the heart knows what she wants and your write co-signs with another chance at love. Good pen.....

This is a moving piece. The flow was pretty good and the imagery... well, let's say that it's good to read something and have it lead you back to your own memories.

This piece was, so powerful. It drew everything into detail in my mind. Absolutely fabulous.

Sometimes love is better the second time around... so beautifully penned filled with turmoil and emotion as the questions arise when lost love returns for one more try.

Beautifully written.

Good piece of writing. Love is such a risky thing to lean on. Your lines are crisp, your doubts clearly come through. I saw your review of Cyntax and thought I'd look at your work...glad I did. Rain..
