_____ by N'jeri Faith

She shared
herself with me -- made love to my ears,
she did -- her voice, like honey
left me weak
and made me smile.

She shared
the depths of her
be/ing--
made love to my ears,
she did.
Her voice, like honey
moistened me...
She don't even have to
touch me!
Like butter, I melt
from the nearness
of her voice.

Made love, sweet
and passionate,
in repetition,
continually,
to my ears,
she did -- continually, everlasting,
forever ... and she didn't even know.
