Love Poem: Violent Heartbeat

Violent Heartbeat

If to pound speaks of a violent motion, 
Why then my heart moves violently
If to fall is a tragic thing
Then the night is a sweet tragedy
If to steal is a crime
Then give me my beautiful thief
So I can take back the kisses he stole
From me 
One by one by one...

If to break is an event as should be avoided
Then, pray, postpone the dawn
Its first crack is on the horizon's edge
Yet it seems the night has scarce begun
