Ten aeons
Nine dreams
Eight notes
Seven seas
Six degrees
Five senses
Four knocks
Three sighs
Two hearts
But only one breath
To say I love you…
And while a shy moonbeam
caresses my windowsill,
I am still lying in wait
for that one breath
from your lips
meant only
for my
skin
**Written for One Shot Wednesday (week 46)… Check out this wonderland of poetry… and ENJOY!!! 🙂 **

tarunima
hehehhe…my blog stalker, eh?!? I actually would LOVE that, Tarunima… in fact, I would be honored! 🙂 Thank you so much, my dear….
lovely, such a longing at the end. I enjoyed the count down – very creative.
Woohoo! Thanks for the kind words, Sheila… the wait can sometimes be inspiring I guess 🙂
excellent and loved the shape of the poem too…well done…pete
Gee.. thank you so much, my friend… you are very kind..
Lovely, Kavita. The form and the function all nicely tied together in a piercing arrow. And congrats on reaching number 200 with such style. 🙂
With good wishes and nice words from awesome poets like yourself, this certainly has been a great ride for me, Joy.. thanks fro everything! 😀
i thought the intense longing for spoken confirmation of love was a little sad, that it has been withheld i suppose is where the sadness came in… hope that makes sense 🙂
heheheh…yes, it des make a lot of sense, Lori.. I guess longing is always sad… but when it is met by that one word we are sooo waiting for, we feel it was all worth it.. what say?! 🙂
“I am still lying in wait
for that one breath
from your lips
meant only
for my
skin”
Kavita, your countdown is stunning, sensuous and exciting…and that does indeed leave me with one breath, and that one has now been rendered breathlesss! Beautifully done, my friend…but pf course, your poems always are just that…beautifully sculptered, with care.
I am humbled by your comment , tolbert… thanks for your wonderful words and generous appreciation for my work here… they are absolutely precious to me!
As is always the case Kavita, you have caused a stirring within my heart that is soothing, like quiet waters stirred and warm. Your poetry is so filled with inspiration and I love the ending, the romance, the touch softer than soft. Beautiful and so very real, I know that somehow the angels are whispering these lovely thoughts to you.
Oh wowww, Janice… your lovely comment here made me feel GREAT about this poem… it already meant a lot to me, but with your words, it became a little more special …. thank you soooo much, my dear friend…

hi kavita
tried to leave a comment the other day about your beautiful poem and it has been lost in the mist…so i will try again…your boundless creativity and visual excitement, the words spiraling down, melting away into one last word…it gave me the imagery in my mind as one would be touching the skin, caressing the poem the way i log to caress the one i love…my favorite line “and while a shy moonbeam caresses my windowsill…tres tres belle…i twirled down this poem in sheer awe and tenderness…i cannot say enough…this was more than just a wonderful poem it was a wonderful experience…sweet, gentle, elegant…honest…
First of all, sorry about that lost comment, Janie.. WordPress does indeed go crazy at times.. no!? Duhhh
And thanks for your wonderfully sweet comment here, my dear… it brought tears to my eyes, cuz it felt sooooo good to know that someone appreciates your poem so much! I am very happy this poem brought such lovely images and thoughts to your mind, my friend…

Kavita! It has been far too long since I have ventured over to your little corner of wordpress. This poem is amazing!! I find it very romantic and extremely powerful. Really glad to see you are still writing. I have been only able to access internet on my phone for last three weeks so I have some catching up to do. Really enjoyed this one though!
All the best,
MS
Aww.. thank you so much, Mark… I have been too lazy myself… trying my hand at too many things now, and that seems to be taking my time more than I would have liked it to.. hence the shortage of visits from me too.. 😦 But I will make up for it…soon!
Anyway, thanks for your ever encouraging words, my friend… it makes me very happy to know that you enjoyed this poem sooo much…. yaaaayyyy!!!
Just lovely!
