Air: A Love Poem Poem by Charles Darnell

Air: A Love Poem

Rating: 5.0


We lay together,
Reclined in dark,
Your silhouette outlined
By ambient light,
The moon
Or some residue of
Starshine.

I see your breast
Rise gently,
Hold,
And release,
The soft sighs
Of air flowing
In and out,
In and out.

“Common as the air”,
It is said
To describe the
Unnoted,
A thing so commonplace
As to be unseen.
Yet, I love the air
And find it more
Valued than all
Precious gems.

For it is the air
You breathe
That expands your lungs,
Enriches your blood,
To make the skin, hair,
And bone of you.
To make more of you
To love.

I shall treasure
This trove,
This animator of love,
‘Til the air in me
Stirs no more.
