Tum tu ru rum

Tum-Tururum

I say yes to your eyes,
even when words fall silent.
For they speak in sparks,
in sync with your heart’s rhythm.

It’s not just tu-tum, tu-tum—
it’s a rumble,
like a wrestling mania show:
tum-tururum, bum-bum-bum.

As strange as it sounds,
that’s how your heartbeat echoes
in my mind,
as I memorize
the rhythm of your breath:

tum-tururum, bum-bum-bum.
I melt.

Together, tum-tururum,
the earth blesses our tune.
Together, we vanish—
a pulsar swallowed by a black hole
of pure, undefinable love.

The melding of our souls,
as Hephaestus welds our hearts,
bonded in a single glow.
