I'm Slipping

I hear your voice in my head, simply mellifluous

I can see sparkly white teeth smiling at me with chuckles

Sniggers I hear, as you call my name, laughing as we yarn

Its snug geniality calms my profoundly hurting soul

I think I’m falling for this voice in my head

I have images in my mind though not so apparent

Are you a castle in Spain abiding only in my thoughts?

Or a certainty from the other end of the line

I know I like what I hear, and from what I’ve heard

It is better than I might imagine but not can

You have possessed the inmost nooks of my mind

This voodoo has got to be halted

    Hahaha...after reading this i can't help but sing the line 'the voodo, you do'. Baroque sweetie...let go. The conversation is good. She likes u & u like her. Plus the thought of her pearly whites also has u smiling. Come...who is sniggering @ u or is that in your head 2?
