Like music to the ear

Bernard Henriso 1980 (Warri)

Heard like the gentle breeze,
The soft whispers of voice
Like music to the ear
Make love to me she said.
The dark of her eyes
Reveals her pure heart
Like a candle flames
Her eyes gleams
Her lips speak soft sweetness.
Gentle words with sparks of light
Like music to the ear
Illuminates my soul
A touch of cool caress
As her lips quivers
Like volcanic eruption
Drown me in her magic.
