Analysis of We Watched The Air



All the dreams we entertained with laughter,
they seem so close now as feathers wrap us
in gentle colours; merged bright beautiful
passions and sweet delicate desires.

On the tips of our tongues freedom danced love,
such fragrant wonder assailed our senses
as we kissed sorrow's softly rolling sigh
into the heaven's guarded light: sparkles
of curious angels; their songs open
notes calling home the innocent spirits.

Hearts wept wings of delight and fine sadness
as we watched the air shiver our goodbye,
whispers of symphonies stroked strings; vibrant
chords bounced around eternity's promise.

And now - our hands roaming each other's fire,
miniature wisps of together slide souls
across the breadth between the present's smile.
