Whisper It Closely
Yon Starling
XXVI
Your love calls like a friend from afar, a shout, heard above all, yet doesn't startle, carrying in its wave the promise of our embrace and turns me suddenly that I adore you longer, standing wide with marvel at your sweet approach.
It is a love as friendly as a kiss on the cheek, lingering enough to cause my skin to flush overcoming all in my features that is timid, the discovery of joy in a stoic expression by the simple bravery of gentle encouragement.
This love I feel as your hands cupped over my ears, peace
