Duet of Hearts

person 1                                   person 2

 

My heart stopped    

                                               My heart stopped

Reaching for Reason           I found only treasonous attempts of my breath

                                                 I was hooked

Line and Sinker

 

and I sunk                            and I sunk

 

Down to depths                   only Sigmund theoreticized about

His eyes                          

                                                 Her smile

begat me                          

                                                 grappling my mouth

Yet still I flew

                                               Free from pain, filled with euphoria

Delirious, hungry, I questioned

                                                Is this real?

His flesh?

                                                Her lips?

Together our vessels rocked and moved as one

I still questioned the horizon

                                               looking for the morning, hoping

he wouldn't see

                                               my minute disguise defiled

Is this real?

                                               My heart still stopped

Reaching for Rhyme

 

                         We navigated the waters

                                 only with time
