The Sound of Your Voice
My entry into the smooth poetry challenge
Smooth like silk, soft like butter
Like a butterfly flutter, your words melt into me
I can taste the soothing of your voice
Electricity vibrates from your lips like the wings of a hummingbird
I'm mesmerised and enchanted
You float through my ears and fill my mind with wonder
And I dance along to the rhythm of your words, losing myself in a dream
They twist me up like a swirl of chocolate
Roll me in a count of one thousand. Adorned by the pharaohs of Egypt
You touch me with gold with every word
And I save them all like treasure
Forever kept in secret, they trace the map to my heart
You sing to me with a melody that's unique to me
A lovers song
Its music is the soundtrack to my soul
I fall into it like water. Immersed in all that you say
You mould me into happy, sculpted by your inflexion

Is it not remarkable how the sound of a single voice can affect us? Beautifully expressed here.
