Love in Subtle Words

	"Expressions are many
	 but Thy loveliness is one;
	 Each of us refers
	 To that single Beauty."
		--Fakkruddin ‘Araqi, Lama’at

Sipping up words
like fine wine 
in the crystal glass
of her expressionless
mouth.  Each sound
being slowly tasted
and absorbed into 
my cerebellum and
dances around my
head.
