Her inner beauty was concealed deep
within the confines of a shadowed heart;
depressed and feeling so
unloved
&
unmoved
that
she couldn’t
&
we couldn't
breathe

Love was there to be had if only
a true
"gentleman of quality"
and a
"lady of essence"
could find where
it is hidden; to surely rescue its yearning
and
give the kiss of life to
their lost loves' vibrancy

Mystified by the secrets sold that
sent love into seclusion, she lay
m~o~t~i~o~nless
in
wait for the one who
would open his heart
so
she could breathe again

In her dreams of him, she dreamt
of a storied past that beholds
her hope to love again…
she desired a resuscitator of her
veiled heart
& a
captivator of her covered soul

In his dreams of her, he dreamt
the same dream in unison…
that a life together begins
with the return of one another's
"coveted exhale"
in hopes of
a sensuous restimulation

Together they dream a future
where two hearts can live in
warm comfort; and tandem
breaths beguile them both
to
love
&
breathe again
