Your Heart

I have heard the cry of your heart
and I have kissed you 
as it wept fearfully and safely
gratefully  
against my skin

I have rejoiced with your heart
and I have danced with you 
as it smiled joyfully and hopefully
in the magic 
and in the footsteps of our breath

I have loved your heart
and I have crawled inside as far as you and your manmade walls would let me
as you come and go
passionately 
and quietly 
carefully
and carelessly
lovingly
and recklessly
with 
my heart 
in tow

I honor your heart
if not simply because
it carries mine
