my love for him 
infused itself into  
the natural melody 
of my voice.
I wonder if he noticed.

love in a voice.

Don't scream "I love you" from the mountaintops,
competing with the babel and clamor of the world.
Whisper it to me in the still silence of the night,
making me strain to hear it,
blocking out the din of the universe to focus on the melody of your voice.
Let me feel it infuse the skin of my neck,
carried by the sweetness of your breath.

Aria

Our hearts
Felt bloods
Infusing serenity
Into one another's bodies.


And it felt right.
