your voice is the auditory fabric of my heart,
comforting cotton, cuddly cashmere, soft silk, it's up to you, and
you embroider it with (my favourite) intricate stars.
you softened my calloused edges
and made me your work of art.
a stream of soft sounds,
like warm jumpers and coming home,
your words laced with kindness of strawberry.
safety in sound form. love. home.
I stay to hear your vocalised care that soothes my soul.
you are so far that I can't feel your arms around me,
but I can hear your embrace through the phone.
