And After...a Long Sigh

And After...a Long Sigh

A Poem by Mr. Deft Diction

As much as I'd love to say yes to you,

I'm going to have to disappoint us both

we point way up there to the heavens to describe....

us, but; up there the atmosphere gets too thick for us to rest hope.

We both inhale the air, then simultaneously choke.

Simply too strong for us to take hold of....

right now.

 

Staring into your eyes until I fall again,

kissing your forehead tender,

wiping the sweat off of your brow.

My love, it is awe-inspiring,

the way those brown eyes twinkle.

That and your matching smile is all I need to find you,

in the middle of a crowd.

My subconcious being is being a detriment to the rest of me,

breathing stronger and getting louder....

you are my tender flower and I will breast-pocket you;

or....

place you in between my favorite texts,

or....

pluck away, wondering if you love me or....

love me not...

simply too strong for us to take hold of....

right now.

 

Shhhh....

allow I to just....

take this all in, as I try and let you leave.

As much as I'd love to say yes to you,

I'm going to have to disappoint us both

we point way up there to the heavens to describe....

us, but; up there the atmosphere gets to thick for us to rest hope.

We both inhale the air, then simultaneously choke.

 

On Goodbye.

I truly don't know what to say except that this one pulled me in. I know how it is sometimes, those goodbyes, but sometimes they're necessary... I guess. Still doesn't make it any easier, does it? Your form was never lost my friend, and this one is beautiful beyond expression, but then you always could put tears of joy in these eyes. Two both so caught, simultaneously choking on the chemistry, on life...Is it love or not? Will they find a way back before they die choking on goodbye? Image and tone are fantastic Peoples!

I understand this and have been here. I definitely appreciate this piece. In life, we men must repeat hurtful words to our lover, not just for her to understand, but for us to register that we're actually saying it.

Enjoyed the flow and heir of drama. Imagery of the sky was a nice touch.

Nice piece. Keep writing.

and this ....is just bound to be stolen by someone....

"My subconcious being is being a detriment to the rest of me,

Talking about older women. You younger men sure got a way with words. Choking on good bye. Would love to say yes but having to dissappoint us both. Wow. I think you're getting your form back. You got a nice flow and rythm going here. I can feel the fight with emotions. Good write.
