I started this, and it took some transitions. Writing is kind of different now, so I just powered through to finish it. Turned out very differently, and a single interuption changed it. Enjoy.
Your taste on my breath,
Your breath on my lips,
Your scent on my chest,
A sweet lavender mixed with,
Something…you

My face on your mind,
Lips pursed with my taste,
My warmth makes you safe,
A faint scent of vanilla mixed with,
Me,

The arch of your back, blessed my soul,
We forgave ourselves in embrace,
Your dark distant eyes, blessed my soul,
Your youthful demeanor, your face,
Your sound came and blessed my soul,
You returned with something now one could replace,
And I returned to bless your soul,
I’m here at this time, in this place.

I saw someone post something earlier (well two different posts the last two days) and it inspired this piece.

Deaf Ears
11/10/11
Why do I have to SAY it again,
My actions fall on deaf ears,

You complain you don’t believe me,
I’m failing to quell your fears,

Yesterday was better than today,
But your inconsistency causes you tears,

What am I trying to prove to you,
The past and the future, not clear,

Do I say, “I love you,” again,
Is that what you need to hear,

It’s not what’s around your neck,
It’s not what’s in your ears,

If I put something on your hand,
Will that make it clear,

Ready, we may never be,
If my words and actions fall on deaf ears.
