Haggard

I’ve never seen you
in civilians
open and ragged
haggard but beautiful

And
we’d drift
-swim- against the current
battle the tide
until the shore met the stars
or
met our lifeless bodies

And we’d lie

-die-

in one another’s arms…

…because if breath walked away

I’d never let you go

I like your use of wind, water and stars. You make it preaty to say the least. A short write, but a wellkept feeling

beautifull imagery, I love the thought you put into it, especially the last 3 lines. To hold on to that which you love despite the cost, truly beautifull.

So sombre, meloncholy, the way it is worded is as B.U. put it, gentle. Excellant write. -Saeth-

"…because if breath walked away". Simple, yet elegant. There is an epic hint at so much more that you leave to the moment, as expressed by the title. And a gentle sadness that is so much more profound, told between the words; "_______ but beautiful."

the personification is perfection; breath walking away, abandoning 'us', holding on to what is so human in each of us. . . .introspective; intuitive; intelligent. . . ~ness
