His Voice, Lyric of My Soul

an aria of a melody resounds in me,
with each note, one romantic lyric-
for i am transcended

the beaut of his harp shall comfort me, 
relieve the desultory mind i wear-
freeing me with his love i adore,
more promises of exhuberant affection
with a connection i long to keep safe

HIS VOICE RESONATES IN MY SORE SOUL

(he holds me tight in the night)
i wrap my warm arms above his
shoulders and listen to the soft song
he sings with a whisper of a hush,
                                      -i blush-

his rhythm-
incandescent
his rhyme-
quiescent

craving the love we share, 
breaking bread at dusk and dawn;
beloved-
if music be the food of love…
-play on-
