Quiet Whispers

~ a collaboration with Trace ~

Gently intertwined

vines tremble

as the wind quietly whispers

with the scent of roses

 

Beauty fills my heart

and words interlace

rising in a delicate mist

                         of the sweetest inspiration….

 

               

 

Gather me in your embrace

so you can see inside my soul

my reflection…

with mere words

 

A melody….

      your melody

etched upon my heart

lingering in a lullaby for two

 

The sweetest rhapsody

like a pairing of birds

winging to heaven

           as the world pauses...

 

  Lend me your lips

                 so I may taste your magic

mysterious and silky

          like showers of dewdrops

wet

as a falling tear

 

As soft as the beauty

that fills my heart

with quiet whispers

          and the scent of roses

 

…blooming only for you
