A single breath here <br />billowing out lazily <br />to meet yours <br />in the in between; <br />prelude to a kiss <br /> <br />the breaths meet before our lips <br />the dance before the kiss <br />the double breath <br />now double warm <br />fresh from our lungs; <br /> <br />meet and swirl <br />each around the other <br />as our moist mouths quiver. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />But then the slow inhale and these mixed two <br />are drawn back to their origins <br />and down lung-ward <br />they twirl dancing their lung dances. <br /> <br />But before that warm storm <br />can settle in mouth and lung <br />warm lips <br />ignite <br />an even larger tempest <br />and now two breaths; <br />sealed mouth <br />sealed kiss <br />make a lungful maelstrom <br />deep within <br />and goes to my center <br />where the explosion there <br />buckles my knees.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-swirling-breeze/
