Your Heartbeat's Lullaby

A tear of sweetness falls Your tenderness my undoing My heart seeks Yours Reverently To hear my name grace Your lips To rest my head upon Your chest To feel Your phantom fingertips Your heartbeat's lullaby, my rest You echo through my being Your words, Your voice, Your love This wrenching separation Of beloved from beloved Darkness of lids shut Enables me thereto Recall Your reassurance Your heartbeat's gentle thud.
