Listening to every heart

Whispers

Listen to the softness of a whisper ~
cushioned by your lips,
close to my ear.

Ecstacy fills my heart,
rising it high on my mind,
blanketing all other thoughts.

Trees bending slightly under the push
from the breath of a pagen god of long ago...
it too whispers to me...
but not the same words.

For does a wisp of breeze
have a meaning for I?

The faded smell of lost perfume and roses
still lingers silently.

The whisper is still there, as are memories
you’ve given me. The wonderment of you
never ceases, can’t die, always lives.

Whisper once more words that will not stay,
but silently be remembered
like a pagan god’s.

After that,
my love,
Goodnight.

Circa 1969

Absolutely beautiful sunshine!!
"Listen to the softness of a whisper ~
cushioned by your lips,
close to my ear."
Wonderful imagery

It is better to be silent and be considered a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

This speaks to me, albeit quietly. Well written.
