Voice
Let me illustrate your voice
one thread at a time,
intertwining ribbons with your wordless song.
The silk that you spoke filled up my world-
oh, sweet sounds.
It rode the evening breeze,
as feathers float on air,
mixing with the scents of
life: sweat, desire, human flaw.
Sweet and low
your voice came to me,
smoothing over dreaded reality.
I shall build my walls higher now,
to keep your music from mingling with my thoughts,
whispers intended to misguide the most naïve of hearts-
oh, sweet words.
