Suckle
is one of those words
that sits well on the tongue
as it is spoken, sounds
as it means, a bit of hard,
a lot of soft.
Kiss
reminds you
of itself as well
with its breath caught
and its air slipping away
at the end.
Touch
includes both a tapping
behind the teeth and
an interruption upon completion.
Love
is deep, has throat hum
and stung, buzzing lips.
All you need do to understand
how they all work together
is listen when they happen,
and then follow their instructions.

Great.
Is it onomatopoeia when the pronunciation of a word resembles its signified?
Interestingly, none of these words are instances of onomatopoeia; but you make it so they might be.
There’s lots of tenderness in this.

I’m flattered that you looked at it this way…because that’s how I was thinking about it; is there a way to view such words as if they mirrored their meanings in their sound? To recast them as onomatopoeia? Thanks.
