His Voice

Tonight the conversation turned to voices
they site the world's great voices
and compare them to the average man's
when it comes to a voice arousing the senses
"there is no comparison!" they say

I beg to differ.
When the phone rings
I do not long to hear those voices
only that of my lover
the "Great Voices" do not
enchant or entice me

I close my eyes to focus
on our conversation
his words pour over me
like warm water under a shower
like honey warmed by the sun
on a hot summer afternoon

Like him, his words
spoken so tenderly
ooze into every crevice
within me
and take residence there
