She Stops my Heart

She stops my heart in lines she leaves

On her face when she needs me

And I don’t have enough room on mine

To fit one more

She stops my heart with time she thieves

From vulnerability

Out of my mouth in cupped palms of spine

And lets it go

My world is all my heart believes

How she perceives big sis Deane

And she my ship, dark waves, and sunshine

Toward our home
