alley and valley

music in my mind
flows into yours
intermingling both of us

love clutches my belly

I want to know why
the heart feels that flutter
while I learn you with my body

love clutches my belly

in the essence of you
I fall into overwhelming depths
to rise again to the fore

love clutches my belly

if it goes on like this
I will make that my banner
and post it in an alley

"while I learn you with my body".

brilliant. this has the feel of a rumi. something exquisite and just slightly above the rails.
your refrain is amazing and every word in between.
very much appreciated this, this morning.
