you taste
         my heart
with your tongue
pulsating beats
to a cadence
"normal people
                throw it away,"
but you
            savour it
like it were sweet
dulcet triumphs
and not coal
                     and charred
remains,languished
of love and life
     oh, why you insist
I don't know
I want not you
to know dying fire
or become seasoned
with the
              sour and bitter
leave it be
leave it be
taste not
               my heart today
               nor tomorrow.
