Heart Swallows Heart

Heart Swallows Heart

Heart swallows heart, 
nerve ends quiver with the action of envelopment, 
the movement is completed with sharp desire, 
this mess of physicality craves for fullness.  

Hand touches hand, 
eclectic messages sent through waves connecting nerves, 
it’s a hallway of bodies, 
circuitous is its route, dimmed in a pale light, 
yet like a halo, opaque and hallowed.  

There is space enough in this close little nook, 
sit facing each other, speaking of topics numerous, 
reaffirming our friendship along the way, 
our borders are clear and respect for them rests there.  

Resonant are the words that waft from your mouth, 
the heart and brain working in tandem,
encapsulate the passion and sincerity, 
with a straight forwardness that cuts to the bone,
a love shared together like no other.
