My Heart Goes

My heart wants to go 
where the world 
fits in my pocket, 
hanging on my sleeve 
on a rainy day with you 
when nothing else matters 
except this river of laughter 
that flows between us 
over all the years 
we never knew 
that you and I 
would share these 
hidden treasures,
in full measure. 

After all the scars 
that we suffered 
in order to find 
each other, we finally 
learned the one thing 
we always knew: 
that home is where 
the heart goes and
mine goes and goes
and goes right to you

and when it does,
the world fits 
in my pocket
and wet sleeves 
do not stop it 
and all that matters 
is this river of laughter 
that flows between us 
over all the years
because you 
are my hidden treasure
and I love you 
in full measure
as my heart 
goes and goes and
goes right to you.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

May a river of laughter flow
between you and those you love
and may your hearts go and go
and go to each other!
