My heart is
Suspended in the space
Between
My rational brain
And troublesome loins.
_____________________
My heart beats faster
When it encounters you,
Even when the currency that
Your love offers is only worth
A few coins.
_____________________
My brain sends signals
To my heart,
Telling me to step away,
And to run far from you.
Before our gazes start to linger
And our lips conjoin.
