Ram R. V. Poet Free verse

Wake Up My Heart

It was a short course.
I was a course teacher.
As I was about to leave for the airport
At the end, a participant came up to me.
She: You are a ‘Don Pedro!’
I: How so?
She: You know, Pedro’s girlfriend 
Once drove him along the seashore
To a lonely spot,
Stopped the car and said:
Take whatever you want.
And Pedro took the car.

Oh, wake up, my (lazy) heart!
