Speak To Me
The sound of my name upon your lips
is a beguiling caress
there is a warm invitation
in the way you speak to me.
I feel an intimate familiarity
that spans the physical distance
to but an arms reach
When you speak to me
I am enveloped in an embrace
that steals my resolve
Through the darkness of a late night
you speak to me and send my heart
racing with excited stirrings
I hold my breath in anticipation
of the magic your words weave
You have but to speak to me
I recall the first time
you spoke to me
time ceased to move
With your “hello”
a common word transformed
becoming a physical touch
That left me longing for more

Thank You Tim
This one came out pretty much the way it is now. I wrote it and waited a day before posting to see if I saw something to rework. When I couldn't see anything I put it here for second looks. Thank you for your time in reading and commenting on this piece.
