I closed my eyes and fell
Through a shimmering curtain
Of notes that climbed like a spell
And blew through my spirit
Like music wafting me away
On wings of heartbeats
As the sun grew full and bright
And the moon a crescent smile of white
That floated me on a sound of color
That trilled through my skin
With the breath of time
And Aphrodite’s voice called out
Singing soft with the memory
Of a million suns like this
When your eyes pored
From the Venus in my mind
And the universe flew away
With the words of your voice
Ringing in my fingers
And a million times I love you
Kissed across my lips.
