A Stuttering Heart

This poem I wrote in honor of two of my close friends getting married this weekend. It was a wonder wedding and I am so happy for the both of them!!! Congrats to Katie Carboni and Greg Hunter.
Anyhow, here's the poem I dedicated to them:

A Stuttering Heart

My hand gravitates to yours,

so soft,

so kind.

My hair,

wet with sweat,

itches my brow,

but I dare not

touch it.

My breath

grows ragged,

a gravelly wind

that rustles the air

with every stammer.

My foot

taps unconsciously,

a strange tempo

accompanying my nerves.

And the moment

comes.

A deep voice

fills my lungs,

puffing pride and passion

into my breast,

readying me for the great unknown

With a single gasp,

I say those two words

that all the ears,

expect to hear,

including my own.

It’s reassuring to listen

to such a melody

slip from my lips.

An earth-shattering moment

passes.

Our grasp tightens

with the knowledge that

we hold a love,

unbreakable,

betwixt us,

reassured of a link

everlasting.
