Heart String

A sweet delicate kiss I plant on your lips
My fingers tracing the curve of your neck  
Our souls intertwine as I gaze into your eyes  
 
Your sweet nothings are etched into my mind  
Your touch leaves goosebumps on my skin  
Your voice a tender lullaby to my heart  
 
Your breath warm on my body  
I cling to you with all my strength  
I permeate passion, and love drips from my pores    
 
Finger tips to finger tips  
The sensation sends electrical impulses  
Which jump start my heart  
 
Reach into my chest  
And tie a string around my heart  
A string which reaches from my chest to yours  
 
I trust you with my most delicate organ  
All my vulnerabilities are exposed  
Because I’ve let you inside my chest cavity  
 
Each heartbeat tugs  
Connecting the thumps  
The string wrapping around my heart and yours  
 
The string trembles and shakes  
As our emotions reverberate  
If we lean close the string will sag  
If we move away the string is pulled taught  
 
The invisible connection of our bodies and our minds  
Tethers us together, forever  
For only our hearts sing the same tune  
 
If anyone else was to serenade your heart  
The sounds would be ineligible  
Because your heart only wakes to my melody  
 
Your eyes trace my skin  
Causing a cascade of sensation  
My heartbeat races, tugging on yours  
 
If you tear your heart away from me  
My heart will follow  
Because it’s tethered to yours  
 
Every step you make tugs on my heart  
I can feel all your emotions  
And predict your mistakes    
 
As your heartbeat pulsates  
The impulse travels down the string and into my body  
I can hear the thudding  
As our heartbeats harmonize  
 
Without a single touch you can oscillate my feelings  
More than anyone else  
Your mere presence  
Is more intense than a million hands touching me  
 
So when your finger tips finally meet my skin  
And we bathe in each others sin  
Our minds will fall apart  
But our body’s wont disconnect  
Because we are held together
By our heart string
