R5

Her passes are fleeting

Still, the impact lingers

The torture's unintended

How the deaf may view singers

 

So close we could caress

With imperceptible motion

Yet the inches between us

Might as well be an ocean

 

She should kill me with kiss

A kiss ~ nothing more

Allow our spirits to taste

What eyes cannot explore

 

Draw our first and last breath

From the place where passion leaps

One soul to another

A kiss is where desire reaps

 

So elementary in practice

Yet a labyrinth of notion

Might it hush my chest's clamor

Or bring about more commotion

 

One day I will learn

That the adjacent air

Is the only thing

That our lips will share

Sorry it took me so long to get here.

Ah . . . the ??kiss? the most revealing of all endearments.

I like this very much.

Well done!

The words were well chosen in this one, and the imagery excellent.

Beautiful writing. A real treat to come across. Nicely done.

this is magical imagery...and has a rather shakespearean feel to it. "yet the inches between us might as well be an ocean" - beautiful! keep writing, you have the depth to allow others to be unblinded by their own lack of perception. K~
