LET OUR HEARTBEATS

Let our heartbeats drum their song together
as we lie close, in the all-together,
arms holding tight like a dog on tether,
bonded with a tightness none could sever.

As through the skins of each other's close chest
your shorter body upon mine takes rest,
cushioned on the swell of a naked breast,
soul to soul touch base, recover love's zest.

Then let us dance to the beat of our hearts,
interlinked at our intercrucial parts,
in our end-to-ending a new life starts
(as we follow the ovulation charts).

From there a pair of tiny arms and feet
may come, fuelled with one separate heartbeat,
the product of our coming together
in love in the encouraging weather.
