The word spoken to be you

I behold the beauty that is you;

a drop of rain caught on the leaf of a geranium.

I touch the velvet of your skin, the gentle hair

covering the strength of your male hood.

I breathe the scent of your body;

the awakening of dawn on a clear spring day.

I listen to the rhythm of your breathing

filling the room with the closeness of you.

Softly my tongue touches your name

as I whisper it to the still night air;

the sound of it a million waterfalls

crystallizing into eternity.

The word spoken to form the substance that is you,

the most precious sound ever to have left God's mouth.
