She Whispers to Me

She calls my name.

Trembling, unsure I try to touch her.

My hands upon her as she tells my song.

But she resists.

I ball up my heart and hands.

Listen to me she says.

This is not about you, it is about us.

Don’t touch me, join me.

Relaxing I feel with my heart, not my hands.

And then it comes from both of us.

We roll together in rhythm.

Not too fast she reminds me.

Sweetly, softly, dolce, piano
