Heartbeat

Pictures move
swirling twirling dancing around my head
fighting for first place
bright colors shouting for attention.
Faded memories slipping past
catching the light
for a moment
then tumbling away
like a whisper.
Eyes, twinkling in the light
like stars
deep pools of
color.
So captivating
I want to drown in them.

The sound of your heart
beating beneath my fingers
keeps me safe
reminds me that I am alive….
