the heart
pumping, nourishing the body’s life
feeding life’s blood, glistening, pumping
pumping,
the heart
the largest vessel in the universe
it holds as much love and grief
as its host fills it with
its capacity never replete,
the heart
still there is room for more
joy, pain, love, grief, ache
bleeding out with sorrow
surfeit with joyous wonder
and still there is room for
more
and more
and more
Let me come with you
waking each morning forget
between sleep and wake
if I reach for you
across the lonely bed you
will be there warm with sleep
I hear your voice, feel
your foot fall, your presence there
I speak loud to you
Curse you for leaving
pleading with you to return,
begging fate turn back the clock
beseech events not
different, so at the last
moment, I save you
