This Heart

You know how sometimes you can hear the beating of your heart in your ears?  This is what I experienced during a brisk walk the other day.  This poem developed from the rhythm of my beating heart. 

This Heart

This heart, she beats for you alone

There’s more she wants to say

She’ll call you up to have a moan

She’ll call you out to play

She’ll ask you if your hers to keep

Or if she has to share

She’ll test to see if love’s skin deep

Or if you really care

Her beat is brash and boisterous

Of her you best beware

She’ll catch you out and cloister us

Together in her lair

 You’ll languish deep inside that beat

You’re open to receive 

Her cherry nectar that’s so sweet

You’ll never want to leave

 This heart, she beats for you alone

How dare yours throb so loud

You’ll feel it deep in your breastbone

But 

 your heart is unavowed.
