Amelia: air. by Andrew S Adamsand as she kissed me,
i started breathing a new
kind of breath;
this was the breath of life,
and i was never sure from that
moment on what exactly had
preceded it-
was this a temporary existence
forged by the fires of passion
into a purgatory
waiting to find love?
(and upon its discovery
would he cease to wait
and start to live?)
that faint memory of
what was before the
breath i stole from between her lips
means little to me;
and the air i breathe now,
everything. 07/14/2005 Posted on 07/14/2005 Copyright © 2025 Andrew S Adams
