WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT

It's not just my shoulders your heart
thrusts' upon, yearns to touch
the tips of my love.

Your heart is brave, patient and kind.
It beats with calm and steady fervor,
leaps and lunges, 
pounds across defenseless space.
If only to plant just a little fruit
with each sound, each moment,
each burst of love.
Filling my own heart, my senses,
with the same calm, steady strength
that is yours-

With just a sound, you assure me.
An undeniable declaration that fills
and draws me closer and closer
to every breath and every beat,
every breath and every beat,
every breath and every beat...
- Tiny Poet, With Every Heartbeat, 2017
