Heartbeats

When there is no other sound

See here's the thing
You can't share heartbeats
With just anyone.

In the moments that are tender,
In between the spaces of touch and of feel,
In the place of soul,
Where love resides,

You must find that the joining
Of yours and theirs
Beat in rythym.
Beat in perfect time.

That together, they blend
Into a harmonious melody.

One that neither
Ever tires of hearing,
When all else falls silent.
