Locked

Tell me baby, and I'll never forget.
The pressure waves that gurgle out
Over your larynx
And whisper your secrets
From the tip of your tongue
Rearrange the carbon
In my 5 carbon sugars,
And change the combination

Of my nitrogenous base.
No one else can open
The place where they're hidden,

Only deep retinal soul scan,

Voice recognition,

Your sweetest “I Love You’s,”

Sweeter still, your embrace.
