Pitter Patter
I, feeling the pitter patter
Quickly swell within my chest,
Organized the thoughts that matter
And threw away the rest.
I thought about your deep brown eyes;
Eyes that take me far away
From fettered earth to open skies
Beyond our night and day.
I thought about your lips, so soft
Speaking each new sugared word
Enough to send my ears aloft
And flapping like a bird.
I thought about your touch, so kind;
A tender dance upon my skin
That made my very thoughts unwind
Each time I let you in.
I thought about your beating heart
And how it pitter patters,
Forever sure to play its part
In a love that matters.
