Heartburn (Free verse) by MacFrantic
I left my heart upon a spire
Lit beneath the smallest fire
Waited while it blackened, turning
Heart aflame with want and yearning
I couldnât bear the searing heat
And burn my hands to feel its beat
Every day my eyes grew wanting
In my dreams my heart was haunting
Suddenly, I saw you, distant
Cross my path for but an instant
Take my heart and hold it near
Feel the warmth and know it dear
You placed my heart inside my chest
Belonging where it felt Love best
Then I took your hand and kissed
The lips which give my heart such bliss
