Amour

Sketch it into your heart.

My esse, in its entirety.

Before we part,

fall apart,

and waves of time

shipwreck

the titanic addiction,

that bewitched us from start.

Remember not just

my smiles,

remember my tears,

befriend, if you will,

my greatest fears.

Take my smiles,

consider them your own,

be the sun

in the clouds,

one that shone.

See me

in happy smiles

of little girls,

in butterflies,

in gentle curls,

in the sugared coffee,

that will touch your lips,

remember ever

innocent kiss.

And each time you smile,

or tear apart,

hear me beat,

inside your heart.
