your heart

i have heard the cry of your heart
and i have kissed you 
as it wept fearfully and safely
gratefully  
against my skin

i have rejoiced with your heart
and i have danced with you 
as it smiled joyfully and hopefully
in the magic 
and in the footsteps of our breath

i have loved your heart
and i have crawled inside as far as you and your manmade walls would let me
as you come and go
passionately 
and quietly 
carefully
and carelessly
lovingly
and recklessly
with 
my heart 
in tow

i honor your heart
if not simply because
it carries mine

choose love

i would rather breathe love 

and risk looking crazy

than breathe crazy

and just look like love

i would rather be whole

and look incomplete

than look whole

and know that parts of me are missing

i would rather take a chance on something that i know is great

than succeed with something that i know is marginal at best ...
