River Drums and Heartbeats

Tranquil waters burble across the riverbed,

Sending waves of rested sand peacefully toward the sea   

What once was still is filled to the brim

With life, with wonder, with love

Your eyes are full of stars and seashells,

Glinting off the sun in your soul

You radiate warmth and smiles,

Like the flow of the water when I love you

You are my heart, our shared drums

Pounding out the song of the riverbed

You have become my salvation, my sunny beach

Where I’d go to bask in the light of your smile

As my heart beats along with yours and my soul follows suit,

The gentle dub of our combined existence lulls me into a contented slumber

Sated.

Happy.

Finally, loving each other as one
