asleep on the sidewalk
a broken heart

my tears
in your arms
our hearts beat
into winter
the depth of darkness
in my heart
broken hearted
patching it up
with time
anxiety
racing the heart
I can’t beat
scent of roses
opening
your heart
ripe cherries
your heart
of stone
love in gym
a muscle man eyed
on her heart
peppermint flavour
her breath
touches my heart

Loving gentle bird
rose blossoms of hope
live in my heart tenderly
mauve smiles light the world
