Speak to me, then, softly and low <br />Speak to me about all the places that you've known <br />Tell me about your life and why <br />Your eyes, your hands, your face <br />Reminds me of things long gone by <br /> <br />Speak to me then, about your feelings and fears <br />I'll listen, I promise, I never will stop <br />Your flow of words, the timbre of your voice <br />Gives me shivers and leaves me no choice <br /> <br />Speak to me then about passion and pain <br />And I will listen until it is dawn again <br />Your voice is so low, so beautiful, so grave <br />It sets alight the stars in the night; <br />Your voice is what when the years spin by <br />The missing substance that I will crave; <br />Your voice will bring the tears to my eyes <br />Years later at every sunrise.<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/speak-to-me-then/
