Heartbeat

Anticipation outweighs the nerves,

Clock ticks by so slow.

Heartbeat an impassioned tattoo, 

Deep breath, I can do this.

I want it so badly, I'm shaking,

I need it so much, I ache,

Heartbeat hammers against my ribs,

Mind blank, what to say?

Your voice, it whispers a greeting,

A single word all it takes,

Heartbeat skips in its rhythm,

Eyes close, savour the feel.

Before I know it our time is up,

But something left unsaid,

Heartbeat flutters with gentle wings,

Draw courage, you need to know.

I cup your face in the palm of my hand,

Trace your lips with my thumb,

Heartbeat stops as time stands still,

My Warrior, I love you so.
