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
