Semi Tone

entry picture

Place the valve
of  your lip's 
and your smile's 
breath against 
my cheek and
breathe a note
to inform me
of its lasting
arrangement
and gentle
proposition.

While sighing
from within
you play now
the music's 
pressed tone.

I'm always up for the musical stuff, and an image I had was a trumpet because of the word Valve which is also like another feminine word, to access which requires more than a sidestep.
It is a lovely lyrical idea and which works so well!

Tommy, when I read the title "Semi tone", I am immediately thinking "half step". That smallest musical movement, imagined in a kiss, that gentle leaning in. Good stuff.
