O Heart
O HEART
Tracing its symmetrical shape —
claustrophobic butterfly wings,
sensate sweep, with kisses my nape.
The flutter of my heartstrings sing.
Don’t break my wings of happiness,
this bellyache ballerina,
this lavender oil of sweetness,
and lover’s splash of katrina.
O pheromone pulse! Rapturous!
A dance in the mirror with you
— my slipper toes adventurous!
Love’s over the rubicon queue.
Lover , you trace my passion’s heart
— if it dies, it will not restart.
