Heartbeat

Heartbeat I'm holding my breath. Catching what's left. Giving you the rest. Looking at you leaves me breathless. I'm holding my own Before my heart is overthrown. Wishing there was a chance. Remembering what makes a man. I'm a mess when your presence leaves me breathless. Do you know how that feels? Does it matter to you? Can you hear the heartbeat I let you steal? I'm holding my breath. Catching what's left. Giving you the rest. Looking at you leaves me breathless.

Love the poem. I'm a writer of historical mythology. I would like to include your poem in a short story. Would I be able to?

Just Like Romeo & Juliet's, Boy Meets Girl! Swirls In Twirls Her Fiery Curls His Burning Heart, They'll Never Part. .Gazing Unto The Glass There Is No Past Yet Only Paths...A Torch Twas Lit Love's Cavern Walls And Etched This Stone Of Time Shall Fall ? Whence Birth Be Borne These Crimson Stalls....An Infant Clings Her Princess Dreams While All He Knows This Art, Is She. .Your Poem Exceeds Mere Beauty: Tis Quite Lovely....Love, Jeremy *
