while I breathe by CadavreExquis
CadavreExquis

while I breathe by

I’m waiting for your hands
to fold around my wrist
I’m mellowing in warm grass
and the scent of you I’ve missed

And blue is representing
the draft in my heart
I’m wandering through thin skies
and the transparent air I’ve missed

Pale is my face
you might want to colour
while I breathe

The Gathering in The May Song

    Powerful. Self-voyeuristic. I love the look in the eye, and contrast of light and shadow across the face. Nice poem too.

    you (?) look of dept. store female mannequin with porcelain skin.

    Very effective lighting outlining half of your face. I love it.
