softly spoken nothing

i wonder
if i read aloud
if the words can reach you
if the issue
is the writing
not the expressing
cock your ear to the wind
my love
while i gently murmur
my feelings on the breeze
can you hear them
the softly whispered words
of love and devotion
curated
for you alone
can you hear me
or am i another gnat
buzzing around your face
trying to savor the sweetness
of your scent
your sweat
igniting
into a puff of smoke
from your divinity
unworthy
of your touch
