The Rhythm of My Heart

When the world slows down and the noise grows dim,
I find my solace in thoughts of him.
Or her or you whatever name you bear,
Your love, like dusk, perfumes the air.

The stars, they whisper in ancient light,
Yet none outshine your eyes at night.
The moon may rise with silver grace,
But it cannot touch your radiant face.

Your laughter, like a summer breeze,
Moves through my soul and bends my knees.
A single smile, a fleeting glance
And suddenly, I'm caught in trance.

You are the hush before the dawn,
The song that lingers when it’s gone.
A gentle storm that sweeps my heart,
Then breaks it open, pulls apart

Not to destroy, but to reveal
What I had lost, what I now feel.
A tenderness I’d feared had died,
Now blooming like the morning tide.

You speak, and all the world aligns.
The chaos softens. The stars design
A map that leads me back to you,
Where every word you say feels true.

Your touch a flame, a sacred mark
Ignites my spirit in the dark.
And every time we brush and meet,
My breath forgets to be discreet.

You are not mine, nor I your own,
But in your arms I’ve found my home.
No walls, no locks, no hidden place,
Just heartbeat close and warm embrace.

If time should steal your face away,
And memory begins to fray,
Still in my soul, you’ll brightly burn
A flame that waits for your return.

For love is not a fleeting thing,
Nor bound by flesh or golden ring.
It lives in silence, songs, and sighs
It dances in the tear-stained skies.

So let the seasons turn and spin,
Let new beginnings now begin.
For in this life or one anew,
My heart was born to follow you.

Not just in passion’s sudden flare,
But in the quiet: I’ll be there.
In coffee sips and tangled sheets,
In whispered dreams and heartbeats sweet.

When the world slows down and shadows start,
You'll still be the rhythm of my heart
