where my heart begins

By carinasuyin

toffee eyes
sweet with intensity
wine red lips
with hints of bubblegum
and orchid
shower affections
that taste of tangerine
and feel like fireworks

mugs of coffee
two-thirds and full
fan whirring with the traffic below
our hearts speaking
awoken in warmth
softness
depth
a pause
let’s breathe

I am beloved
rhythm of a poem
the Lord is gracious
precious meaning
Your name is where my heart begins

    syedafarnaz: Thank you! Yeah, wrote it with the last line in mind first… the beautiful line is from the song “My Last Tango” by Nerina Pallot :)
