A Poem: "My Breath, Taken Twice"

My Breath, Taken Twice
By Jenna Reimer

My breath, taken twice
Is all I have to tell today.
Once, kissed by a soft wind,
My cheeks flushed a rose-red-
Twice, that breeze parting
Into an eternal distance-
This is poetry I cannot write.
This, and my heart, and all the trees,
And all the fields wide,
In time I may forget-
And never a pen will speak
This feeling so fleetingly.

It has been a while...

I haven’t posted in a long while and feel quite saddened by the fact I haven’t been making time for the one passion I seem to exude: poetry. School is finally wining down and I am looking forward to getting in some much need writing, perhaps attend a few workshops a good friend of mine offers on Thursdays. I decided I need to start making more time for the things that I enjoy as 3/4 of my life involves things that suck... suck real bad. Haha!
I have been lacking inspiration, and time, due to school and work overload so I am anticipating this summer to be full of endless posts of poetry on all subject matters! I have been particularly obsessed with Paris lately so I am sure much of the content of my poems will having a lot to do with mourning the distant land I so wish I could live in; just a forewarning. Hmmm… one day I shall bask in the amorous atmosphere of Parisian society where I will sing, dance, love, write and be entirely at peace in the city of art and culture! *sigh*
