Inspired by anna breslin’s Love me like ordinary things,
Encouraged by Zev’s Love me like a poet
Love me like words
unspoken but heard
love me like a lullaby
whispered in her ears.
Whispered in baby ears
to soothe and hush
shouted loud like teenagers
thoughtless in a rush.
Love me like words
that rush flooded like blood
floating slow moving like rushes
in the languid river mud.
Flood me with words
never-ending whispers
washing away regrets
spoken but unheard.
Love me like words
I will string them like pearls
wear them ‘round my neck
till I can voice them back
to you, and watch them fly!
