Exhalation Travel (eddy styx) formerly known as "Secrets"
secrets
I am foreign
among your petals
breathing deeply.
softly sighing
brain eruptions
tiny tingling deaths
intubate me
with kisses slow,
being is believing.
sniffling surreptitiously
dandelion fuzz
on fluttering fingers.

Cat You Are
That silver lining
We see around a cloud,
So many of us would like to catch it
At least me,
Have no doubt
But the lining is so silvery,
My eyes can't that distance see
But surely do come by
And
Elevate me
To a higher storey

It feels like love, but there is an underlining feeling of the touch of death in this. Why I don't know, but there is a certain sweetness to the feeling over taking the reader. Well at lease me.
Bravisima!!

Dear Eddie,
I think it is the word "intubate" as it is an action of rescue. And it was intentional, so glad you picked up on this subtlty. You're a deep thinker!

Hi Cat, first let me ask did
Hi Cat, first let me ask did you mean *exaltation* ?
Or .exhilaration?
Would you consider renaming the poem whichever you meant: *exaltation* or *exhilaration*?
Omit it as your last sentence?

I realy like this
and my suggestions are best shown by example. All I have done is remove some line breaks and add some punctutation. See what you think.
