Mambo Ntema OPB: I'll Whisper in your Ears (Part III)

I’ll Whisper in Your Ears (Part III)

I will whisper warmth destined for your depth,

And as I whisper into your ears, let my lips envelope;

Yours to unseal the wounds you hide,

Allow my aged hands to define each word;

I sound, may they feel your soul’s heartbeat,

Let me caress you longer, and let my caressed words;

Send chills unknown,

And let my whispers rule that forbidden throne…

Let me touch you further in your body and soul;

As my hands hold in untold fairies and whisper in your ears loud,

Not too loud for miles to hear but a little louder for you to be here…

I yearn for a silent voice with eyes closed in winter days;

When seasons cuddle each other’s shoulder,

And I will whisper sacred words of love to the beholder;

In scattered but faded voices older…

When echoes of the wilderness summoned in dozen whispers,

Let me wipe off those silent tears in sudden winters;

For tears fall when eye drops fall in swollen soils wither,

In quiet moments I long for you to whisper;

A distant scream so often resembles the power behind your whisper,

And take over my being with your subtle undertone;

And hum in beautiful arms on a lower tone,

When moon light our doors will shine in open arms like songs of a baritone…

Let me be the strings to your Spanish guitar;

Like dreams of a traveller’s night,

As you did to my ears when I fell into your soft melody;

When eyes blue like footprints of a drifter,

Let me whisper in your dreams when treasures do collide in whisper;

Like shakers and rattles of a musical rhetoric teacher,

With serene monotones from your heart beat in dozen times deeper;

Where flowers grow in shaded gardens and whisper,

In my ears long as you wish, I will whisper;

In your ears like butterflies in olden days as love on a picture,

How great thou art O love so divine when whispers;

Tell in their smiles but sigh when miles demand us more than a seeker…
