Here’s My Heart For You, In Ink
My heart repeats in frantic beats
The words you long to hear,
And yet my mouth remains so shy,
A gate I close in fear.
This love roils up inside of me,
Like a molten sea of gold,
So precious, yet so hard to touch,
Its distant heat seems cold.
I wish I were a singing sort,
With lilting words of praise,
So I could serenade you Love,
Through our remaining days.
But, alas I’m just a poet,
And the only way I know
How to say the words “I love you,”
Is to let my writing flow.
So, I give you this one paper,
As a weak and single link
To the love that burns within me.
Here’s my heart for you, in ink.
