Larger than life
Less sure than me
about
what to keep
or throw away
Sinew and bone
Nails bit to the nub
warm skin
his tips on mine
I can’t breathe and would gladly quit
if not breathing meant
we could stay
like this
Accepting and Rejecting
Yearning and yeilding
Blocking and tackling
Rejecting and returning
He returns every time
Pulling me in with
sensual traces
curves and lines
Pushing me away
with our shared breath
I inhale his
while he exhales mine
Time passes
my fingers
coax him back
so I quit breathing
and pull him to me
He lets me
read in
and between
his lines
Finally
I’m not scared
to
touch his fingers
and breathe again
Ps and Qs: Photography, Poetry and Quiet 
What a beatiful poem.
Thank you so much, Diana. I was nervous to publish it.
(It’s mine….shhhh….)
Its lovely, you are a very talented woman.
I can’t seem to decide what’s more beautiful, the picture or the poem. You’re fabulous. You know that, right?
YOU are the fabulous one!
I’ve been thinking of you often and know that you have some great articles waiting to be read by me!
And a WEDDING!! ah!
But, thank you. I was REALLY nervous to put this out there–first poem I’ve ever written, so your words truly do mean the world to me–as does your friendship.

Oh wow! Seriously Michelle, that is beautiful. I’m so very glad you posted it 🙂 xo
Awww…thanks! It ain’t CK quality, but it’s a start, right?
Amazing how long I fiddled with it–at that rate, I’ll be able to write one poem every 11 months 🙂
xo
Seriously, some of mine take weeks before they’re allowed out lol One took a year and still hasn’t been seen 😉
Never, never say it ain’t CK quality, it’s only style differences and this has just as much quality as any of mine. Truly. XO
That’s breathtaking.
So beautiful hon. More please.
Awww…thank you…I still don’t know about it, but gotta start somewhere, right?
AND, since you asked for more:

What is WRONG with me?
Nothing big on there yet…just a promise to start 🙂
Sorry to bother you but can you tell me how to do a pingback
Never a bother my friend!
It’s the same way you do a hotlink and works very slick:
*Go the article you want to ping and highlight the url address and click copy or Ctrl C
*Go back to your post and highlight the word you want to hide the post behind (for example, on my travel post, I highlighted “heartwarming” for your story)
*Click the little icon above your post that looks like a little chain link
*When the window pops up, click paste or Ctrl P and then the button on the bottom right
That’s how I pinged your article for my post on Monday. If you have problems, just let me know 🙂
