Tracing Infinity

by Drew Gold   Sep 17, 2005


The arch in your back gives way to exaggerated gasps, i wonder, how long has this actually lasted? suspended in the clearest moments of magic, you slow your breathing to the subtle rhythmic pattern i can always follow; they work to make me shatter. break me down into mere nerves, just feeling and emotion, this elementary form is ours to hold. the warmth of our breath, coalesced, sustains infinity. o, my love, how long it's been since ive tasted divinity, or any of your supple intricacies. i've been longing for those luscious lips, but settle for swimming in thoughts such as these. even with your back turned, i can still feel the warmth of your smile, rejuvenating life in all that it touches. it makes the sun seem as a mere speck of light, compared to those lips so full and bright. your curviture; akin to the most graceful sculpting of marble, yet untempered and delicate; one touch could send shudders reverberating throughout. and the one thing i still hold most dearly, that which i miss the most: your mind. quick to snap, yet just as quick to console. always ready to challenge me where no one has, but still providing the support i've never had. your words, smooth as the breeze through the trees, always had a stirring on my soul. in a hundred million years i couldn't begin to act as if i dont care. but as i sit, fingers running thru each and every silky strand of your hair, hands running over every curve with the faintest of touches, going in circles, tracing infinity; i sit alone, reminiscing of all the life you've given me, cherishing all that you've chosen to share with me. i sit here caressing the part of yourself that you left with me, the part of myself you chose to neglect. absent of both regret and shame, i sit here, struggling to hold on..

    I don't read poems that aren't in stanza form, infact this is the first poem I've ever read on here that is not in a 'format', but the first line made me want to read more. You have captured and portrayed your feelings so well here, everything is tangible, and I think setting it out like this works well because it reads like a stream of conciousness - an excellent poem :)

    I have read a lot of amazing poems on this site. A lot very deep and meaningful ones. But i must say, this is my favorite. Just wow... i dont know what it is about this piece... it captivates every part of me. Its like a beautiful dream and i can relate with this so much. You have this incredible talent and i can feel your personality seeping through the words of this poem. It is just beautiful, your words... everything. Exquisite and i dont know why it touched me so much, because ive read so many and none have touched me like this. It filled me with emotion. Never stop writing, you're a truly gifted person. If you want u can read one of mine too. Again, brilliant work.

    Btw.. thats an amazing pic in your profile. Did you draw that? I love to draw, its beautiful.
