heartbeat












our arms linked as we wandered through the city streets
we didn't care for the snickers and the stares
and i,
i could feel your heartbeat


a flicker
a flame
a fervidness
to blame


i rested my head on your shoulder as the music played
we didn't care for the world that night
and you,
you could feel my heartbeat

a whisper
a whetting
a whirlwind
to tame

in your firm embrace to bid goodnight
we didn't care for the rules or the righteous
as i,
i could feel your heartbeat

Hi Naomi,
Thank you for your feedback :)
I'm glad it touched you.
The human condition, if we are open to it, connects us (so.. yes, maybe I am in your head!!)
