he[art]beats

my heart beats

and my heart flutters

as if one thousand hummingbirds

were escaping

from the belly

of a Great White shark

 

your voice calms me

yet, I remain anxious

and nervous

 

and your smile melts me

and I turn into a pool of liquid

like the ocean

surrounding the shark

 

the same shark

that I was making

my jail break from

 

my heart dances

when I see your face

and you keep me healthy

YOU KEEP ME ALIVE
