You used to call me on my cell phone…

even when others had begun texting
and snapping risqué photos,
you used your voice to lure me

your words would fill my ears
and my body would shiver in bed,
remembering the feel of you

you didn’t have to talk dirty
to melt me with your conversation,
just hearing you speak was enough

imagining the subtle bite of your lip
the curl of your smirk,
your mouth pursing and ebbing

your aural dance of whispers in kind
and tender gentle kiss spurs my mind
to reaches far beyond my control

you hold
me

you used to.
