To Breathe
Is it wrong to long
for an everlasting, can’t-breathe-without-you
kind of love?
Unfurled passion unmatched by any wildfire-
eye to eye, neither questions to whom
they belong.
Hearts, beating
they are one in the same flesh-
To live is to love, to die is to love-
they walk both paths, unseperated.
Joy or sorrow,
peace or chaos,
abundance or wanting,
deep breaths they draw in-
feeding each other — giving of their life.
Is it wrong to wonder,
what you would say if I asked you
if you feel this way about me?
Could I finally breathe?

I love this.
I adore this poem.
“Is it wrong to long

If it’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
Beautiful writing, here!
Would you possibly be kin to David Lawler, who I am sure has just this very kind of love
in his life?
Lovely work, if you are kin to him, I have always enjoyed your strong poetic bent.
