lived among the pauses
inhaled during commas
released after periods
i caught the kiss you blew my way
felt it warm my cheek
then gently removed it
placed it a glass box
with crystal ribbons
added it to my curio cabinet
of curiousities
right next to your pillow talk
and corner of your heart
kept in a wooden box
you had diligently carved
for its safekeeping
locked tight without a key
i never had the answer
but i feel it still sometimes
when my mind is quiet
sweet nothings escape
through intended pinholes
lapping at my earlobes
until childish giggles emerge from my throat
beckoning purity to return to its origin
the two dance across my soft curves
spinning 'round and 'round
only to be carried lovingly
back through iron keyholes
where the solid sound of a beat could be heard

and the butterfly continues to spread her wings....wow...
Wow!! This is beautiful. I especially love this verse:
"beckoning purity to return to its origin

These lines represent a place where I currently exist. Thank you for this piece, it is absolutely darling...
