the shorter breaths

the shorter breaths

did i take them
from you
words and sighs
when i           that close
pulled them     inhaled your thoughts
lips     given back to you in gasps
your mouth barely catching
up with worry and
excitement     i wonder
     if i made it irregular
your breathing          your skin
responses      


     was it           uncomfortable
               or just new
this type of exchange of      air
               and adjectives
          i read on your
lips       moved to let it out
and i to catch
my mouth to give back to you
slowly          in kisses and breaths
and laden implications     
     sweet with promise     relief
you inhaled      
     i sighed
