beat

You hold my heart in the
palm of your hand. On a
sunny, summer day, I
gave up guarding it and
wholly surrendered
it to the security of
your embrace.

Every beat echoes your
name, pumping enlightening
affection through every cell
of myself. Each soft kiss
introduces breath to my
thirsty soul.

Every wall is broken down.
All resolve is reshapen
to unconditional purpose
I now know. You give
me new life, and my
heart will always
remain yours.
