Not So Romantic Poem

Take a piece of my oversized pumping heart
Make aortic memories, oh so grand
Break not this adoring atrium to start
Quake from the rhythmic beat under your hand

Gain affection from each side ventricle
Plain adoration felt by thick blood flowing
Vein flutters, valves and arteries a-tickle
Rein it in, your romantic side is showing

Superb lento, Hat. I rarely write a lento, so it is good to see one and have my mind refreshed about how to do them.
