I would like to know
what your heartbeat sounds like
as you fall asleep
To tune my inhalations
to your breaths
and maybe feel what it must be like
to be so completely yours
Synchronicity in a relationship is easier said than done, but when it works it really works.it is the adult version of a comfy blankie, where comfort is so easily and instantly found.
That's opposed to my actual comfy blanket now, which is my beanie hats, which I insist on it being because I am from a cold climate and not because my hair is thinning! 😀
This is intimate without being intrusive—soft, yearning, and carefully restrained.
The closing line lands with a vulnerable surrender that feels earned, not asked for.
The idea of matching breath and heartbeat feels very intimate. The short lines and simple words make the feeling stronger. It's quiet, sweet, and full of emotion.
such a personally intimate and deeply romantic line - I also read The Winds, Codes, and I Always Knew, each is a very fine piece of work - enjoyed your work greatly - carl
