Analysis of One Heart’s Beat
I want to lie
Feet to feet
Knee to knee
Your back to the curls on my chest
I want to touch
Hand in hand
Arm to arm
Palm to the cup of your breast
I want to hear
Breath to breath
Moan to moan
The rhythmic rustle of sheets
I want to feel
Spirit to spirit
Soul to soul
Two hearts to one heart's beat
