Paint Me with Your Voice
Paint me with your voice
Abandonedly allow the timbre of your
words to caress me
The richness of your tone
An elixir honed in fire
Caressing the very core of my soul
Which is lost in the very sound of you
I lay comfortably beside each syllable
Impatiently waiting and searching to
ensure none of the well-seasoned
musicality you’ve poured through me
is missing
I am captivated and mesmerized
more please
Paint me with your voice
