Drummer of My Heart
by Odette
this path I chose, may seem at most,
strange to some, but nevertheless,
it is my request, to take my hand,
and stroll with me, through our years past
our love, yes, our story, beyond compare
upon the windowsill, quietly I sat,
memories, not able to stand at ease,
keep leaping, from beneath my chest
to grasp, to beat, so so fast
oh, this heart of mine of ten years passed,
the air so thick, inside myself,
my heart, my mind, barely comprehend
for more than a second, I felt inside
lost in thought, that lend for a moment,
not unlike the glimmer of the moon
oh, my love of past and present,
this dream so intertwined,
and married to it, so overwhelmed,
so certainty and mesmerized,
the dream within, oh my man I love
the drummer within this heart of mine
this ring, you slipped, passed my fingertip,
within a raindrops, chilly breeze
for your love, to rest upon
a trickle found within myself,
caught running through my spine
my world fell into your embrace,
your love so wrapped around
t’was then I knew, I had found
lingering depths, I longed for
your shelter, warmth, and affection
that deeply engraved my heart
for every minute and breath, we took
in timeless fashion, we undertook
to truly say and truly know,
as one in our footsteps, I am really yours
yet for a while…
married life’s conundrum and mystery
enthralled and submerged all of me
to show us, what happiness is meant to be
my sweetheart who thanks our God, eternally
for having me as me, felt so heavenly
seconds to minutes, minutes to hours
todays have passed, oh so proudly to last
kneeling down to give my thanks,
and pray for strength, I’m grateful for
the wonders that overjoy our hearts
two of them, our little men
to look, to behold…
a testament to our true love, and still
unfeigned passion exists in us
became within the oneness within
oh my sweetheart, drummer of my heart
truly what more can I ask for?
the road we travel, within my dreams
a vision of you growing old with me
