Whispers

Whispers
Soft as a kitten's fur
Purring it's longing

Whispers
Clinging to my ear
Fragile catkins
Spring fresh
Warm scented

Whispers
A muted melophone
Notes insistent on my brain
Electric signals
Straight to my heart

Whispers
Blotting out the cacophony
Of the world
Becoming my universe
Sending my blood surging

Whispers
The melody of the words
Overtake the content
You could be reciting
Words from a tax guide
I'd hear love

Whispers
I long to hear
Lips pressed to me
Until I turn
And whisper back
And the words
Become a kiss

This is fabulous... I especially like the way you ended it with... "And the words Become a kiss"

Ohhh, yeaahhhh, Wilfred - I'm beginning to see now - sneaking in here with all these romantic words, making the gals swoon, getting them all heated up with your whisper poem.  You oughta be ashamed!  You oughta be embarrassed.  But... you oughta be happy with how this poem turned out, too.  A great transition from line 1 to the last line.  Kudos to you.

Jamie-
I just kept writing verses until the 'becomes' line came out - else I'd probably still be writing     - Thank you

Rosebud-
I think we think alike     thanks

Paula-
Such Talk MUST be whispered. - Thank you    

Poet DeVine-
Many thanks - compliments from such as you are extra special    

Mr. Silver-
You've had me chuckling all day - and now I've made a note - to read you - especially if I want to smile. Thank you.

Martie-
I think "Swoonable" is a lovely word     - thank you for that

when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
