"For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end." - H. L. Mencken

Breathe

I pick up the phone and your voice catches me off guard My heart skips a beat and it takes me a moment to respond I hear your breath And it moves through my entire body A feeling of complete warmth overtakes me As you speak, my mind imagines you standing in front of me I can see you looking at me Standing there looking into my eyes I feel your breath on my face We move closer to one another Every breath you breathe is mine And I yours Our bodies touch I can feel your heartbeat against my chest We stand motionless Simply breathing Holding one another close The only movement is the rhythmic rise and fall of our chests As we breathe I feel you inside me Inside every part of me Your love caresses my soul My heart is so full of emotions Yet I can’t move All I can do is breathe The beating of your heart fills my ears And my breath quickens You respond by taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly I melt in the comfort of your arms As I hold you even closer Your breath becomes my own And in that instant the world disappears In this moment all that exists Is just you and me Standing closer than any two people have ever been Utter contentment fills my entire being As we share every feeling, every emotion, every breath All I can do is hold you and look into your eyes And simply, breathe -- © Rachel Pietrocola

My very photogenic mother died in a freak accident (picnic, lightning) when I was three, and, save for a pocket of warmth in the darkest past, nothing of her subsists within the hollows and dells of memory, over which, if you can still stand my style (I am writing under observation), the sun of my infancy had set: surely, you all know those redolent remnants of day suspended, with the midges, about some hedge in bloom or suddenly entered and traversed by the rambler, at the bottom of a hill, in the summer dusk; a furry warmth, golden midges.
