Empty Space Poem by Maya Hanson

Soft whispers,
loud and clear.
Not yet.

Sweet song,
hummed by you.
Don’t regret.

In my mind.
A small sound.
I look away.

No, no.
You misunderstand.
Please stay.

My mouth shut,
you listen.
Silent words.

I know.
Things change.
You are heard.

Just one thrill,
I relent.
Treasure a night.

You and me,
I whisper.
Till it’s light.

I’ll start,
you follow.
Set a pace.

A nothing room,
a something room...
empty space.
