Heart Aflutter

I placed my heart for all to see
I hoped to have it catch its due
No one stopped, nor even cared
Until then came the heart of you

You seemed to glow from fires within
Your natural aura deeply burned
A beauty owned that lets you win
The heart of me, for you, now yearns

Unto the clouds, the setting sun
Unto the heavens past the sky
My heart does leap, your heart it’s won
Your heart’s the reason that mine flies

Without your love, I’d surely die
For with your heart, these two hearts fly
