This Heart

This gentle heart does not mistake
A passionate kiss for simple heartache
It does not desire rhyme and reasons
It is prepared to weather all seasons.
It holds fast to what it knows
It cares not about the winds that blow.

This simple heart seeks no escape
It takes on the chances of it's rape.
It fears not impending retribution
Counting on a stay of execution.
It calls on reserve from what it's learned
Always striving to be returned.

This quiet heart offers to you
All the love you want it to.
It will not pull back and disappear
Everything it has is so sincere.
I present to you this tender heart
As with this love we make our start.
