As generous as I am
I would have never
relinquished my heart
something so complex,
precious…forever mine.
And it happened
I don’t exactly remember when
the weather was warm
the leaves were still
I recall
the distinct smell of cinnamon
and a hint of lilac.
Piercing,
enigmatic eyes,
matched with
a luring anatomy
attracted me.
Tenderness,
an eagerness to gratify
overwhelmed me.
Sensitivity,
transparency
devoid of atrocities
kept me.
Penetrating
my chest cavity
gingerly touching my heart
today
eternity
my heart:
beats
plump vessels pump blood
mended wounds
eventually fade
full of life
yours.
