Words

You kiss the words on my lips 
waiting to be said 
You hold them in your mouth 
roll your tongue around them 
tasting their sweetness 

Infused with your honeyed breath 
your erotic scent 
you pour them back into me 

They taste different 
burgeoning with secrets 
known only to us 
I savour the love they hold 
the passion filling their essence
I let them slide down into my heart

Rich with promise, magical words
that do not now need to be said
swell and fill our souls
