Breathing

Breathing

A Poem by Jack...
"

Taken for granted?

"

 

 

 

 

 

Breathing

 

I breathe

as if it means nothing,

no thought or planning

A rhythmic thing

that just happens

 

~in and out…silently~

 

Little notice is taken

until I find your smile,

your beauty, your love

and then I gasp, for in that instant…

I am breathless

Happy I could help.
// Little notice is taken
until I find your smile,
your beauty, your love
and then I gasp, for in that instant…
I am breathless //

Not sure I was breathing through this one my friend, you just about blew me across the pond! Loved it.

I always appreciate your kind words my friend.
I seldom read free verse and know nothing about it. But it is clear that it is meant to be written this way. A wonderfully stated expression of what love is like.
