Your heartbeat glows like ancient lanterns
lost beneath my quiet ribs;
every rhythm melts the shadows
gathered from forgotten fibs
You touch the seams of my unspoken
read the verses I conceal;
your hands unfold my hidden letters
line by trembling line made real
I lean into your steady warmth
where wounded hours learn release;
love becomes a falling feather
floating toward a field of peace
Let the twilight hold our secrets
where longing teaches souls to rise;
your heart remains the patient lantern
lifting light through all my skies
