I NEED YOUR VOICE, MACHELLE
I need your voice, Machelle
Like soft succulent lips
Moulded with sweetening sweetness
Above honey's might, of course

I need your voice, Machelle
Beyond my ears of hearing
To mend still, the strength
That I am born with

I need your voice, Machelle
Within me as well
Like fresh air around
That I breathe to respire

I need your voice, Machelle
To speak best in me
The languages that only faults
Would bear like soft kisses.

I need your voice, Machelle
As I need you
Like red water in my veins
Oh! My human healer .
