i lay my hand
on his
and smile
his face lit up
by flashing lights
and music pulsing
through the air of the night
my free fingers grasping
the metal bar of the ride
i hold him tight
and he tells me
this scares him
for my heart does like to race
thumping in my chest
at an unreasonable pace
any time, any place
inappropriate tachycardia
it does not take much
to make my heart beat faster
as the ride begins
and we start spinning
he looks over to me
and finds relief, i am grinning
his concern is clear
there is a barrier of fear
overriding his joy
is your heart okay? he says, at the end
and i am ready to spend
more money and more time
on all the rides i can find
silly boy
my love
my heart races
pulses
thumps
drums a beat in my chest
practically bursts when i am stressed
but in this moment
it is content
my love
the only time my heart begins to race
is when i look at your face
he is so worried
about my heart pounding
and it does
when i look at him
owen
your heart
makes mine
feel perfectly in-time
my design
was made
for you
come, my love
don\'t look so wide-eyed
it is time for another ride.
