I dangle on your every word,
breath in every syllable,
take sustenance in every roll of your tongue,
each tooth-tap and lip-biting pronunciation,
snuggling into your context
your words flutter from your soul,
fertile and alive,
taking root in my soul,
caressing my emotions,
sewing me into your will
and stitching me into your desires
your words touch every place that was once untouchable,
telling everything untold,
opening doors we didnt know existed
your words hold my beating heart;
they lift me up, challenge me,
inspire me
your words are the gentle scrape of metal against metal,
the breathtaking tumble and click,
acknowledging my need,
and my absolute delight in your praise
speak to me,
my skeleton key
unlock me
