Faintest scent

of coconut,

softest whisper,

I say, “what?”

then hear you now

as you repeat

and, once again,

my knees go weak

for it’s not

the what

but the how

with you,

in all you speak

and all you do,

that truly touches

the deepest part

of the

deepest secret

in my

deepest heart.
