It starts like this -
A silence waking to voice.
The breath moving warm,slow across your lips to mine.
And then a wait for holy words to fall.
Leaning to the edge of silent boundaries...I listen.
No...more than listen.
I absorb.
And once spoken...it ends like this.
A voice slipping to a silence heard.
Having prayed the words...I love you...to my ears.

There are poems that make me cry because of their melancholic content and then there are poems like yours which make me cry because of their UNIVERSAL BEAUTY, like this one.
Praying ... I love you. Hear the sacred tune ..

sigh....yes just like this....you have a masterful way of bringing love to the surface and letting it shine! I keep a fragrance bottle my muse gave me when I met him in endless winter and he settled me into remembering who I am.

You "absorb" and I "listen".
Romantically sweet and gentle as ever.
