Heartbeat

he breathed  
anew  
giving of  
himself  
without  
reservation  
as he  
slowly  
opened her  
heart  
filling in  
the empty  
spaces  

butterflies  
danced  
fluttering  
to the  
glorious  
melody  
of this  
beautiful  
grand 
awakening  

vulnerability  
bands  
release  
as the fear  
of love  
and pain  
have ceased 

looking 
him in  
the eyes  
she takes  
him by  
the hand  
slowly  
opening it  
as she feather  
kisses  
each finger  
placing her  
heart  
right in  
the center  

she carefully  
closes it  
never wanting  
a day or  
moment  
to ever  
linger  
without  
letting him 
know 
through his  
own heart  
and love  
did he not  
only make it  
beat again  
but... 
that heartbeat  
belonged  
to him
