Love Poem: Inflection

Inflection

Intoxicated by the inflection 
nothing like that catch in your voice;
Falling for the hope and healing, 
leave it to you to level the agony;
Every piece of every word 
carries with it a mark of you; 
Tasting the tip of what you say 
itching to pull the mask away; 
Oh that smile,
naked as that catch in your voice.
