lost

The space between your lips

fills the void surrounding me

And the vowels you hold, 

like gently rocking infants,

Long, slow sways, 

side to side

Your lips form a soft coo, 

comforting tears

and your melody distracts me

No meaning left for language

lost in the soft, rhythmic sway of sentences

feathers, floating toward love

Swinging me slowly, back and forth

lost in the space between your lips
