Echo in my memory
The impact of a voice that changes your direction–
The way you’d blindly follow someones beautiful laugh
Drop everything to hear them once more
To feel empowered by being able to make another giggle, and like
The pain that follows, to see another cry–
Then the morning whispers that breathe warmth onto your neck,
The cackling giggles that scream from tickles
The running laughter that chases you around the room
The heavy breaths that intensify the closeness
The silence that amplifies the sound of your eyelash beating against my cheeks,
The smile that beams across your face in that moment,
As you utter how you love being this close to me–
Then when you run your hands through my hair
The room grows in silence to make every sound louder
The rustling of cloth on the bed alone fills the silence
I can hear your hands escape the length of my hair
You against me, our bodies breaking the silence
Until we kiss, the rythmic liplocks,
Broken by the panting pauses,
Heavy breaths draw us closer.
Those words you’d whisper in between
That bring them shy smiles that complete the moment..
Oh how i miss your voice so tender to me
Until my hands run down your waist
And your eyes open wider for you know whats my intention
And tickles shift you to another pitch,
a higher frequency, i follow in heavy laughter
And mischievous smiles follow 'i wont let go’
Then life takes us our own ways,
And technology hands us some alternate ways
Video calls, and phone calls and audio txts–
The distances paces us through our wanting highs
You obsess over my silly laughs
And crack jokes to hear it, once again–
I get it though, a sense of admiration
Of achievement to make someone laugh
Many a lovers have followed silly pursuits
To be rewarded with that hopeless smile, a little laugh
That blesses the loving soul with seconds of serenity
Oh to hear that same voice for so many hours
That you know the translation to each exhale
The variations of sighs, the countless hmms and uhms
To catch the slightest sound of hesitation, fear and confusion–
For a word to suffice to deduce emotion
Your voice will forever echo in my memory
The way you say my name,
The way you call me yours,
The tenderness with which you speak of me
The care with which you addresss me
Your voice will forever echo in my memory
For the beautiful words that etched my landscape
Will ring in my head each time I’ll think of you
I’ll remember the sound of you,
The way we loved and the silence that
Exemplified our closeness with every passing
Second on my watch that i could hear as we lay
