The Wings Within Her Words

I feel the feathers she shares drape my heart,

each time her words give me flight

through the shear nakedness of my thoughts,

beyond the soil that holds my mind as prisoner.

 

And when I can barely stand

love’s solo from her lips

is like a harp of angelic strings,

slowly lifting me by the sounds

of soothing, airy assurances.

 

Higher and higher I ascend,

constantly spiraling and twisting in my  soul,

so utterly whirling and out of control.

 

Moments spin me by the way

her voice can sway in such soft melodious tones,

they resonate from so deep inside,

a symphony in pure, sweet notes

from that beautiful spirit she possesses

that can ring out the harmony that caresses,

holds me captive and in a dream,

until I am weightless,

as a mere breath upon the sky,

gently drifting upwards

unto heaven’s terrace in bliss.

 

It is a smooth, silky soar

along that satin ribbon of her sayings,

those tender touches in affectionate phrases,

which leaves me dizzy and suspended

in euphoria’s swinging hammock,

totally transfixed by how her mouth

moves me so serenely to a dance upon clouds.
