Heart
Show me where your heart is.
For once, don’t speak of stars and moons,
or other astral things;
let’s keep this down to earth.
Show me where your heart is.
Please. Place it here between us,
in front of me
where I can see it beating.
I want to put my hands upon it.
I want to pick it up and squeeze it.
I want to press it close between my breasts
and feel its pulse against my heart.
Show me where your heart is.
Trust it to me. I won’t lose it.

Dynamic and marvelously romantic... is this heartfelt fledgling attempt. You both compliment each other in such a pleasurable and perfect way. It's going to be so awesome to get to read your creations... I'm so excited and jealous that you each get to work with my favorite DU writer.... (you see what I did there?!?!..haha)

Thanks for the kind words, Blue 🌷. I think I should say though that Daisy's the brains of this operation; I'm just the office boy 🇬🇧💛🇺🇸..

I like the very physical nature of this poem. It reminds me of how poetry has been described as a very physical medium wherein the core of things is explored, that it’s not up in the air (or “astral”, as you put it) but deeply connected with real things.

Thank you so very much for such a great comment. Poetry is one of those things that is deeply connected with real things. I'm glad you could pick that up in this one.

Dear DF,
Congratulations to you both on this collaborative association.
This poem speaks volumes to being open and truthful. I don’t know why this is but it so often seems we hide our truth’s and when we finally summon the courage to speak them there is such a sense of empowerment.
There isn’t a line gone astray in this lovely poem. H🌷
