Every day my heart is full of you
as bodies are of water
as skies are of clouds
I fear for its survival
like a de-clawed animal
that’s gotten outside.
Every morning my heart is filled with you
as a tumbler is of juice at the breakfast table
I’m scared of its depth
and its potential for taking me over
the way the ocean swallows a brash surfer
riding the tube of its wave
like a spoon moving inside a mouth.
Every minute my heart is full of you
as speakers are of sound,
as tires are of miles…
I fear for its life and wearing down
like a mother sending her toddler
into public schooling,
no longer able to shelter her baby from harm.
Every time I share another piece of me with you
like rations of food that were supposed to be mine,
I fear for myself
and the lengths I would go to
just to keep you alive.
Every hour your heart sits on the fence
like a teeter totter on a playground,
like a weather-vane in the wind,
I shiver with reservation and doubt,
but, never give up.
Every second
my heart is more full of your face
than veins,
I’m afraid of how else
my insides might be rearranged
to make more space
for this absolute overtaking.
It’s not blame that I’ve assigned you,
but, an opening.
A booth in the center of me
that will always be yours if needed.
A place in my thoughts suspended by time
that will always be waiting
for you to be seated. _________________ shemovesme.wordpress.com
