The House of Love*

 

My heart

houses four chambers

in its main vault, I save your

name & image, in its red walls

I draw your profile, face. Your hair

flows in the atrium. My golden treasure

is the upper chambers: I store your voice

your glance; through their branches run the

ribands of life. The throbbing pulses sends

blissful thoughts of you to my mind. I absorb

your sweet breath that saturates my flesh.

I celebrate your presence and store your

splendors in my mind. The tired red

cells deplete their load; fresh

blood flows to my flesh

& bones saturated

with your

scent.
