seeds of longing May 26, 2013

your breath

drifts across my nostrils

soft as dandelion dreams,

floats past my ears

whispering mystic riddles,

touches my lips

with promised kisses,

lingers like laughter

o’er our tomorrow.

      Thanks Mike. Ideally I’d like the ending of the left lines to be the beginning, one line below, of the next line, but that’s challenging in WordPress, so I settled for this variation. Glad you like it.
