He never breathes

He writes with words of molten ardour

He touches with honesty

he never apologises

he never agrees

he never denies me

he never breaks my heart

he never berates me

he always applauds

he understands my complexities

he understands support



he never breathes

wow, really liked this. i enjoy the way you use refrences to 'he' in a couple of your poems- i've come across it nowin a couple of poems and i think you do it really well. Initiating mystery and nurturing affection and longing, its intruiging. I loved the last line, and relate to this.

Why do I get the feeling this is about a dream person?

Anyway, I liked the listing. In a way, the first two connote a negativity that the rest balance. The final line, is a real killer! It has that classic double meaning, which you trademark so well.
