Arkell's Ark: The Softest Sigh

Ian Arkell’s poem tells of a magic sound.

Just the closeness of her
took away my breath
and then my heart

Just the closeness of her
touched my soul, allaying
fears of consequence,
reason and regret

a beautiful confusion of
passion, whispered feelings, guilt,
and through it all,
the magic sound
of love’s sweet sigh
