Play Me A Whisper Poem by RIC BASTASA

play me a whisper in my ear
where i
whimper
and tremble
in desire
(that is your
word not mine)

play me softly a whisper of love
in my hair
i let you
and tell you how it means to me

play it on
turn me on, i let you know how much it means
to me

my hair thinking my skin whimpering
let me have your whisper
now not in my ear
let it be in my mouth
let it stay
let it stray inside my tongue

play me a little soft whisper
not in my mouth now
but in my heart

let it stay there for a while
and then play me another whisper
not in my heart now

let it be inside my guts
down in my belly
let it go deeper

let it escape in the toes of my feet and let this whisper
dissolve in a distance in the infinite silence of the space

between us
