speechless

She,
loved the treble in his voice, 
Lost herself in the caress of his whispered words, 
Longed to hear him speak, 
He , 
thought her eyes were gifts,
Wrapped in gold,
And each time she opened them,
He lost his voice and heard them speak,
And thus speechless, they remained, without,
Listening, to the echo of heartbeats within ...
