Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Place In My Heart

The scent of fresh baked cookies
filling the air
Sounds of Andrea Bocelli 
ringing in my ear
There's a pep in my step
and a feeling unfamiliar
My heart pounding, craving
one night, one taste
one look, one touch
Words dancing off your pages
speaking to my soul
entwined in romance
etched in my heart
tying me in knots

My heart has been opened
welcoming you in
No longer vacant
it longs for your warmth
your kindness
your presence
your whole

Mind blown. heart owned
bringing fantasy into reality
walking hand in hand
to the beat of the band

For tonight in the stars
it has been written
there is a place for you
in my heart
