Your bare chest ripples beneath my cheek
as creases sprout beside your eyes
and my phone vibrates with missed calls
but I don’t want to hear anything else
except the way the air crackles when
you take your next breath and how
the birdsongs fade beneath the roar
of your carbonated joy
Short, sweet and fresh. Has me wondering what “carbonated joy” looks like tho
Yeah… and just the title is quite heartwarming.
I can hear the room fill with laughter while the two of you cuddle and enjoy each other’s company. The rest of the world can wait is the feeling I am left with. Wow!
The title sets the stage for the imagery beautifully. The piece is concentrated—both intense and joyful.
Lovely! Carbonated joy … made me smile.
