The beats of a heart in love

Every time…

every time I listen

to the palpable, rhythmic beats

of my pulsating heart,

dancing a little, lovely dance,

I hear you and only you-

your name uttered 

with each swoosh-thump-swoosh,

in an inner voice sweetly smitten

and wholly overcome 

with something so good,

a tango of the body

with pitter-patters in harmony perfectly 

with the starts and stops of my heart

your persona's presence creates.

I'm facing a situational us.

Love.
