Scarlet Cathedral


In silence
unaware
you entered
my heart
my scarlet cathedral
through a small crack
in my stained-glass window
softly
slowly
a word or two at a time
so as to not disturb the rhythm
of the blood coursing through it

You entered in-between heartbeats
thinking I would not
sense your presence
or your heartfelt intentions
oh, but I did....
and my mind lingers
on the very moment
I realized
that you have taken residence
deep within
my strongest organ

My cathedral chimes
rang with joy
as strong as a bolt of thunder
yet as silently as dew arrives

How could you think
I would not notice
as my heart skipped
a beat
forever altering
it's rhythm
