Analysis of My love, you consume my every breath

Holly Flame Maxey 1976 (baltimore)



I offer you my complete devotion

My heart, mind, and soul honor your aura

I am entranced by the entrance way to your soul

My life is enriched when I think about all the ways

You shine and bring light to my life

My days pass by effortlessly

Inspiration comes to me in dewdrops

These innate desires require no response

They exist naturally, only to dance with the butterflies

That have taken residency in the deepest parts of my existence

Thinking about you my love

Is no longer an option, it is my very breath

My complete knowledge of existence

How can I live without breathing?

How can I breathe without the knowledge of  

The awesome existential “ you”
