i.
breathe your heart words
into my heart’s ear
say it all
my heart is a trunk
to fill
they fall into and
become
treasures
--- your words ---
effervescent with love
never dull
ever soft
forming a me
unknown to all

but you

ii.
I flew into your sky eyes
never to return
refracted by your heart
back to myself
a prism
unknown to all

but you

iii.
move your heart hands
over my heart's body
play the harp of my soul
heartstrings unsounded
until your music
made my heart sing songs
of me
unknown to all

but you
