The sound of your voice
softly falls over my shoulder
a whisper asking
for more of my precious time.
Time is silent
a partner I love
honestly, I don’t mind
giving all that I have
until finally
I know what it is
to feel the pouring
the rain must fall
I understand and know
there are delicate words
I beg to hear.
In this heavy crowd
I can finally sense
you’re getting close
the air has changed
your perfume invades
I love how you do that
intoxicating scent
stricken down
forced to stand still.
A prisoner to the moment
I oblige
even as I’m being pushed
to move on ahead
they truly don’t understand
what it feels like
having you by my side.
The earth’s vibration
a subtle humming of sorts
I can hear your soft words
inched up super close
as if I’m the only one
who knows this ancient language
for the first real time
I reach and take your hand
thank you love
for coming
and saving my life.
