Sweet Talker Speaks

Book: Castle View Sweet Talker
He calls me baby,
And gets down on his knees before me.
He calls me honey,
And lays his head upon my stomach.
Then he speaks.
He speaks so sweet
I feel the bones
Disappear
Inch by inch.
He speaks, and
The fibers that hold my life
Un-skein,
Thread by thread,
From the hold around my heart.
He speaks,
So sweet,
The things that he feels,
Things that he sees.
He pulls me to him.
We lie in the sticky intertwine of
Lover’s arms and legs,
Coiled.
Then he speaks.
He speaks so sweet
I feel my legs
Uncurl
Without moving.
He speaks, and
Removes the nerves
Worry by worry
From my limbs.
Folded in around him
I feel his voice
Resonate,
When he speaks,
So sweet,
The things that he sees,
The things that he feels.
And he calls me baby,
And lays his head upon my stomach.
