Notes About The Poem

Whisper Softly


much like 
the silent flickering
of hummingbird wings, 
whisper softly in my ear
a promise 
to make my soul take flight
with the warmth of your smile, 
and skin...
through cold, lonely nights 
and frigid winters.
darling, promise me 
you'd never depart me!
like a soothing autumn zephyr 
that tinkle wind chimes 
ever so gently like a faint sigh...
whisper ever so softly 
your words of tenderness
as we lie supine 
to count the stars in the night sky.
and as sleep begins 
to ease my fatigued eyes
let your voice sink into 
a silken whisper
my celestial lullaby! 
delight me... 
with a sound of "goodnight"
so I can peacefully drift into 
a lovely dream
that is all I ask of you. 
let me hear it 
as we call it a day!
whisper it softly to me 
with a kiss, 
my sweet.
