POETRY: IN THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART

Your heart is not just a muscle
that beats inside your chest.
It's a place where all
of your love can rest.

Your heart is not just a part of 
your body; it's part of your soul. 
But sometimes your heart 
can take a toll.

Your heart can be broken;
your heart can be shattered.
Your heart can be whipped;
your heart can be battered.

Your heart can be your enemy;
your heart can be your friend
your heart is the little voice
inside you that said
"i think i can"

being with you 
is like coming home
to the warm, the familiar,
the comfortable.

being with you
means simply being me,
without the need for masks,
without the pretensions
of being somebody else grand.

being with you
is like coming home once again.
and i want to come home...

She whispers softly
Into my ear.
Suddenly a thousand melodies
Burst forth in gentle showers

Magnificent rose petals
Rain down from an ethereal sky
And cover our naked bodies
With invisible fragrances
And a deep, long sigh
Fills our souls
With ecstacy

I wake to feel the longing
In the depths of my heart
The dream has ended
For now

It's magic from the start
When two people meet for the first time 
And they feel as though they've known each other forever.
They feel a connection.

And so it goes
When two hearts connect.

The sound of his voice warms her heart
And she can't wait to be by his side.
Their friendship grows
And they both start to know
That there is something more going on.

And so it goes
When a spark of love starts to grow.

The spark turns into a flame 
And they can't explain
The feeling when their hearts collide.
The touch of his hand, the taste of her lips...
That's all it takes to make passion explode.

And so it goes
As the flame of desire
Turns to a love that will never die.

A long, beautiful white gown
Their loved ones and friends all around
Toasting their happiness.
Nothing can stop
The dreams in their heads
Or the love in their hearts.

And so it goes
A commitment to forever.

As the years go by
She stays by his side
And she's the light of his life.
It's easy to see
That it was meant to be.

And so it goes...
When two hearts connect.
