Did you hear it!

Did you hear my heart?
Like the sound of the African drums in a ritual dance
Did you hear it battering against the walls of my chest?
Like the wave of the sea against the edges of the cliff
Did you feel the currents in the veins violently moving from one chamber to the other?
Like the mighty Zambezi as she pours viciously down the Victoria Falls
It is because every time I see you my heart wants to run with you
Every time I hear your voice my hearts jumps out to follow you
Every time I think of you my heart skips a beat
But I shy away from that experience
Because I fear I may lose my heart to you
That my heart will run and never come back
That my heart will jump and never bounce back
That my heart will skip a beat and never beat again
The sound of my heart is music to my ears
I revel in the sound of the beat
The thought of the jump
And the skip of the beat
All that just because it is you
It needs to be you and only you
You have my heart but you don’t know it
I asked you…
Did you hear my heart?
And you said, “no!”
