Heres My Heart (For Charisse)

by Davara Campbell

Since the heart is the seat of affection
a space;

Containing room to sanction delights
and direction

Recline in a sense of well being tender
and fulfilled

Rest afloat in futon down to earth comfort
uplifted

In the fluff of genuine support of who you
can be felt to be

Take to true form a live profile, pose regal

And magnified plush cushioned
for the established throne

Accelerating realms upon the seat of most
profound

Affection

Here is my heart
