Poem: Lonely Spaces
I pluck petals and pocket them.
Only the ones that land in the breath between
He Loves Me and He Loves Me Not
And I kiss each soft-skinned miracle
And pray a little prayer
That I'm not wrong
That this little piece of heartache that I
Make a meal of is more than worth it
That it will be sufficient to nourish me and you
And we and us.
In the lonely spaces between tears and kisses
I worry
Between our rough, urgent touches and our silken silences
I fear for me and you and we and us
Only the ones that land in the breath between
He Loves Me and He Loves Me Not
And I kiss each soft-skinned miracle
And pray a little prayer
That I'm not wrong
That this little piece of heartache that I
Make a meal of is more than worth it
That it will be sufficient to nourish me and you
And we and us.
In the lonely spaces between tears and kisses
I worry
Between our rough, urgent touches and our silken silences
I fear for me and you and we and us

Post a CommentIncredible. I love the lines: "Only the ones that land in the breath between
He Loves Me and He Loves Me Not"
Excellent poem, Heather! Your use of words is exquisite!
Your poems are truly beautiful!
"Between our rough, urgent touches and our silken silences" great line!! Nicely done!
Really good work. Great opening line.
I really liked this poem. Thanks!
Your work is quality feeling prompting I get to share it.
Your poems seem always more than anyone else can express," in the breath between He loves Me and He Loves Me Not". It is so visual and at the same time mystical! A lovely poem. Thank you!
