My heart would like to
sit next to you
get a better view of the way
you do the things you do
it is tired of looking a?
round corners, out of windows
trailing shadows
it has taken up disguises
it bags your groceries, and
cashes your check, it
gobbles up the peanuts you throw
at the zoo
it plays operator and tells him
his calls can't go through
My heart is
your lucky charm
my heart is your winning lottery number
my heart is your cost of living raise
my heart is a shooting star
falling your way
My heart wants to announce itself as
your cavalier
it is chauvinistic with
nerve enough to
walk up to you, beating
like an Ashanti drum
arrogantly red and
ruby warm
here to state a case
and ain't backing down
The one thing my heart is
speeded up to do, it is murmuring
for a chance to
get next to you
