Shadow Charm
When you place your mouth
to my ear
how does the ocean know
which wave
to relinquish?
In your darkness I find teeth.
Blessings of the meek-throated.
A ribbed tunnel. Codicil.
Your tongue scrawls: too late,
the unsaid nerve-sparked and
dilated too late
And my skin replies: with
lightning all strikes
count to each its charge
O at the Edges 
Your voice adds LOTS of energy to this! Very effective.

There’s a balance between your words and the sounds – a subtlety in your voice, underscored by the electricity in that thunder.

You have such a soothing voice. I love the thunder in the background. You should release a poetry album. : )
