Mass Av Drops

I expect nothing… I lean the night toward dreams. I let the lights slip slow, soft streams. I love you plain, with no disguise, Like a breath that drifts between two hands and sighs. I’ll whisper it to you—smooth, without a spark, With the liquid hush of steps through dark. Word by word, murmur by murmur, I’ll unlace your silence, undo your armor. Drop by drop, I slide inside you, Like velvet rain at your threshold, true. Letter by letter, I let it flow, My slow sweet liquor through your thoughts below. I want to pour my voice in your veins, Like a tide that wanders and softly remains. Let it brush your doubts, sow its gleam, Curl in the calm of your tenderest dream. I ask for nothing, I don’t hold tight, I melt in the mist, I stay in the night. Hour by hour, I slowly blend, Like light that licks a window’s end. Drop by drop, I slide inside you, Like velvet rain at your threshold, true. Letter by letter, I let it flow, My slow sweet liquor through your thoughts below. And if one night, beneath an open sky, You feel a tender shiver passing by, Then maybe, in a breath subdued, You’ll murmur back—“Me too…” imbued. Drop by drop, I slide inside you, Like velvet rain at your threshold, true. Letter by letter, I let it flow, My slow sweet liquor through your thoughts below. Drop by drop… Velvet, soft rain’s hush… I love you… in silence.
