In Motion

My heart in motion 
palpitates a wild tarantella, 
resonates vibrant valves 
and grieves for you, 
my choosing. 

Then juiced on devotion, 
elevates a blue umbrella, 
supplicates and salves, 
in letting go, 
fears losing. 

The reversal of motion 
integrates calming distance, 
initiates fast retreat, 
this failing heart 
lest I forget it. 

No more to cry an ocean, 
abdicates my once insistence, 
resuscitate a love so sweet 
become my life, 
and not regret it.
