I snatch my breath after we kiss
because I want to feel you

contract

in my wheezing, useless lungs
not just a craving
but

a desperate need

within


in the physical urge
to breathe you in,

and


make your mystical secrets
a part of my body.
"write poetry" she said after my last asthma attack so I did. Breathlessly.


I actually wrote this one after an asthma attack. Tried to format it to my breathing pattern whilst I was having it...but capturing that kind of frustration is impossible, honestly. :P
