The Naked Heart

Mirroring each other

with a smile

and laughter,

you both plunge together;

to seal the bond,

and become one.

And when the choppy tides of life

try to separate

and drag one of you under,

an angelic hand

is right there to pull you up;

you are each other's lifelines.

You are:

seen, you are

heard,

and you are

saved;

constantly

by each other.

The rhythm in your chests

whisper,

"How deep is your promise?"

and you both answer with

a vow;

and ritual of union.

A connection

so sacred,

and untouched;

it rivals the depths of the Caribbean Sea.
