When You Breathe
When you move
it is your dance
undulating to entrance.
When you touch
it is your feel
harboring the empyreal.
When you speak
it is your voice
encouraging to rejoice.
When you smile
it is your face
illuminating with grace.
When you love
it is your heart
encircling to impart.
When you breathe
it is your fire
insufflating my desire.
