"Listen to her read poems in French."
*Is this too specific?
I simply want to hear her voice.*
Resting my head on your lap was magic,
Listening to all your syllables
And silent letters.
Watching your lips
So carefully as you tongued
The notes of a forgotten poem.
You turned words that I can read into
The song of a choir
And the language of romance,
I could hear Camus and Descartes
In your voice,
I could hear the timbre of your tongue
Embody the tortured author's pleas.
I could hear your voice
And watch you make art
With lips so red from kissing.
And I fell in love with it.
"Listen to her read poems in French."
Has been amended to
"Listen to her speak."
