In a heart beat

And what is it my heart wants from you?
when you slowly dance its tender beat -
your soul touches mine as a whisper -
it brightens my spirit, light and sweet.

And how does it answer my question?
by increasing the beat of its song -
a symphony rumbling inside me -
melody clear and harmony strong. 

And when will the orchestra finish?
in a life span or throughout all time -
infinitely loving you always -
captured here for a moment in rhyme.
