The Softest Whisper

The softest whisper crept,
Along the creases of his lips,
The softest words so tender,
Those of love and bliss.

Careful woven scripture,
Not intended to impress,
So delicate and slender,
As a swan's feathered dress.

No words crossed their way,
Between his mind and mine,
But that moment was such magic,
A story so divine.

I'm sure my heart's now taken,
Down into his abyss,
Where warm love shall lead me,
Into love I will not miss.
