Harmony of Heartbeats

I want him to hold me like he holds his guitar Fingers of his left hand light but sure on my neck His right hand tracing melodies on my body I want him to hold my body against his And make my heartbeat increase in speed Until it matches the rhythm of the riff His fingers play across strings or skin As his tongue teaches mine the shapes Of the song he's singing so that Where our lips meet there is harmony Because his heart beats just as fast I wish I could hold him like I hold my guitar Fingers of my left hand light but sure on his neck My right hand tracing melodies on his body

Wow, great poem. Cameron. Deeply expressive feelings, metaphorically related to the guitar. Brilliant choice of words. Enjoyable overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.
