Gentle

Your voice like scent

of Amaranthus,

teasing air

on wet August nights.

Your voice so soft

I wish it was touch.

How lightly could I

dance on your sigh?

How, to try?

Just staring,

so intently

from afar,

makes me afraid I'll break you.

Nicely done. 'Teasing air on wet August nights' is a great
line.
