Heart of Doves


Dear heart of mine
Dont you fly away from love
With dove's wings you soar
Floating in the wind

Though I call to you
You reply with a murmur
Your beats slowing under my hand
The low vibration becomes my pillow
A cushion on which I depend

Its rhythm lulls and craddles
Then again I think of him
The gaze that filled me with warmth
Your memory drawing me back to you

My heart reacts to your call
Accelerating in my chest
And I smile
Your love clips my wings
Grounding my fleeting heart

Though I am afraid
You enchant me...
To the point,
You leave me breathless
