Heart To Heart Resuscitation

Come lay your heart now over mine
Cause it to feel the rhythmic beat
Let your nearness revive…bring life
Electric shock of body heat

My heart is faint, about to die
Weary, sure to give up this fight
Come lay your heart, love, over mine
Bring monitor to life with light

Heart over heart the beat transfer
From your quickened electric pace
My heart catches the vital spark
As I look up into your face

Lips to lips now resuscitate
Your limbs on mine now intertwine
Body upon body infuse
Call me back from heav’n divine

My heart flutters and starts to beat
Intensifies, responds to kiss
Body tingles with healthy glow
Heart beat is strong… nothing a miss

When life imparting work is done
You slowly start to pull away
Checking for vital signs of life
Your face over my heart must stay

You listen for the rhythmic sound
Your head rides on my heaving breast
My breaths of life your hair caress
Your head turns as you kiss each crest

My body, soul, and mind refreshed
I reach for you, love reignites
Now my heart lies on top of yours
Resuscitating from the heights!

Ooooh Don't you just love those out of body experiences, specially when you wake up and find your being molested lol. Very cleverly written my little Desert Orchid. Take care, Richard

You do need it now and again, don't you? Me thinks you write provocative comments to illicit such a response...Hmmmmmm....the psychiatrist in me could go riot on this, but....confidentiality pact restrains me for delving into details here......but...Hmmmmmmmmmm

My Dear Mr Seal...your imagination is running away with you....Your choice of words are a little disconcerting....But I will graciously overlook because you are a dedicated fan, and I will never displease a true fan...You could have found a sweeter word than molested....negative connotations and all...I'd say..and find you're being ravished! Hmmmmmm...what say ye?
