Love before the gallows

"A lovers agony as he meets his love for last time before he is put to rest in the gallows"

Your voice is like a symphony,

Sweet and smooth like drops of honey,

I want you to pour it,

                      All on me.

Like an orchestra in unison,

Like the angels singing in heaven,

I am your fan,

                      Let me listen.

Keep speaking, keep speaking,

I just can’t stand the silence,

Listening to you speaking,

Makes me shun inner violence,

Your voice is like music,

Sending doves up in the sky,

Keep speaking, keep speaking,

I feel my wings, I will fly.

You won’t trust when I say,

I will never go away,

I will listen to your melody,

                           Night and day.

I grasp like a kid at every word,

They seem like my only world,

There is no poetry like this,

                          I have ever heard.

Keep speaking, keep speaking,

I just can’t stand this silence,

Listening to you speaking,

Makes me shun inner violence,

Keep speaking, keep speaking,

I want you to sing all night,

Your voice is the lullaby,

That I want to listen when I die.
