Know My Heart

Know my heart if you want a way in.
Know what makes it shake, cringe, shrink, expand, hide, and explode. 
If you want in, 
If you want me...in,
Know my heart. 

I run like the savage boar that I am,
I run and crash in full force.
I run to open arms and open hearts,
I run to trust and safety.
I run to explode and join the stars.

But when the skies break, I'm gone. 

Know my heart if you want in...
In to the place of pure me.
Where it is thick, 
Where there is blood,
Where there is flesh,
tears,
laughter,
murmurs,
moans,
and ultimately love.

Know my wild heart,
untamed, intense, but so soft. 
Know my heart, 
the one that melts with fingertips that draw on my skin,
the one that thaws with silky words whispered in my ears.
Know my heart,
the one that gets lost when truth meets truth in someone else's eyes. 

Know. 
Know this is my heart. 
Not another.
Mine. 
No one else's.  
Not one that settles to pretense.

Know my heart.
Know this is my heart, friend.
Know this is my heart,
father,
mother,
sister, 
brother, 
lover.
