Your kiss, your gaze or your breath
What do I cherish more?
Your breath that I breathed
Suffusing me to the core
Sanctifying me…..
Have kept it inside safely stored
Every breath that I breathe
Intermingles with it and roars
Ecstatic in its union
Electrifying me….
Keeping me alive.

Wow! Every breath you take…Nice romantic and simple but soulful..

Also I really like the way you selectively rhyme some of your lines, kind of provides a nice flow…I must try that some time…

@Seema, Do try that- it makes the poem more of a poetic dialogue rather than a structured piece

awesome…length works wonders,the poem is painfully short….and painfully beautiful!

(+)-hmm…everything.right from the flow to the display of ideas and the ending.
(-)-None in particular.

p.s-Carbon dioxide is bad for lungs :p

A very beautiful poem indeed.
Liked it immensely.
The feel & impact on reading the poem was also ecstatic, electrifying & sanctifying too.

wow! wat a thought!…full of romanticism… mujhe generally bahtu kam logon ki hi romantic poems pasand aati hain… i feel ppl cant handle it well…swayam bhi shayad maine aaj tak ek hi romantic poem likhi hai… par aapki to har romantic poem mujhe bahut appeal karti hai… u are wonderful wen it comes to romancing with words nd thoughts in a romantic poem….
