Whisper in My Ear
Whisper in my ear, love
Penetrating sounds coo with each breath
I relax in your arms, held bound without ties
Captive for you without snare
Your words hushed with anticipation
Half air, half promise
No one near but you love, no one closer
Swear these words you use
Twirling pastels in my mind
Your lavenders within my lilac
My imagination no longer alone to dream
You are my spirit, you are my breath
Burning without flame, consumed without fire
Leaning in, I want to know you
Panting skin against your hardened form
Racing heart stop - I can’t hear him
Whisper in my ear, love
Say all you dare to say now
I hold pledged your promise
I await your silenced mouth
