Rick Richardson Poet Prose Poetry

Read Softly

Read to me
while I lie here with eyes closed against the sky. 
  Read to me with passion
of the smell of lemon
  and musk wrapped in silk and satin. 

  I rest here in your voice and drink
your very words. 
  Read to me with lilt of breath. 
Breathe me to the brink
  of lasting
as I sink into your sighs. 

Read to me gently,
  read softly into the night.
