Speak

Speak to me of friendship 
In the velvet of your tones; 
With a tongue inducing tremor
In my flesh and in my bones. 

Speak to me of daybreak 
In the language of the night; 
With a syntax born of freedom, 
Lovebirds rising unto flight. 

Speak to me of beauty 
In the terms of lullaby; 
With a whisper of contentment 
Drawing breath a deeper sigh. 

Speak to me of giving 
In the words that I adore; 
And thus speak to me of loving 
With the voice of evermore.
