The sound of your breath
on the sharp
rhythmically placed inhale
between twinkling words
starts to heighten
an awareness inside
✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩
I start to focus
on my own rapid breathing
the rising heat
leaving a condensed
desire on my lips
how I’ve started to gasp
as you take every breath in
to your spellbinding chest
👄༄｡°
Hands
clutch hungrily at my shirt
wringing it
as if it were dripping wet
muscles painfully tense
yet, when I exhale
instead of relaxing
I forcibly expel the air
becoming nothing but a speck
elbows practically
coming to a pointing touch
shoulders slumping over
in a nobbly hunch
head to knees
ass to feet
fetally compressing until
I'm completely air-free
⋆˚࿔🧘🏻♀️༄｡°
With a start
springing into a frenzy
of oxygenation
a spiral of movement
accompanied by a
hyperventilating chorus
the light that had been fading
from my vision
finds me swimming
through the tension I'm exuding
‧₊˚♪ 𝄞𝄢₊⋆˚꩜｡˚⊹
I rise above my own
lyrical brooding
into the atmosphere
of your laughter and
gentle lilting humming
spinning vibrations skim
like gossamer layers
I melt and fall through
hitting one at a time
with a swirling stir
I luxuriate in
the silken air your
bodily words prepare
allowing me to write my
most passionately fashioned plea
ㅤ ׅ 𝄂𝄚𝅦𝄚𝄞𝅄ㅤ𝄞𝄢₊⋆˚꩜
Through muscle tension
iconic shaping and
infusing every motion
with unthinking emotional gravity
arching flicks
circular whips subtly
build up a spinning momentum
as I continue to rise
sudden abdominal contractions
start midair rotations
cementing auto gyroscopic action
fluid, mirrored
grandiose motion
reveal mystical meaning
beyond physical position
‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹🤸🏻♀️
My outward pleadings
match the inner workings of my heart
a mandala of faith and pain
tossed into your orbit
a sand painting built
with sharpened fingernails
glittering diamond dust
sticking to my
tears as they float by
in zero gravity
⋆⭒˚｡⋆✧💎˖°
Each a world of experience
carried in a coated droplet
ready to burst
telling my story
in the slow motion
technicolor calamity
I could never speak aloud
until finally I rest
nestled in
the cosmic beauty
of musicality
