What makes your heart flutter?
I was asked the question, but I didn’t have an answer. Here is an on-the-spot poetic version of what I should have said:
What Makes My Heart Flutter, a poem
(I know, such an original title)
by Alexa L., written August 11, 2010
little notes that say I
really really really
like you
songs written,
in metaphor
and melody
a construction paper rose
made with tape, love, scissors
a drawing, a likeness
of you and me
a chance meeting,
you planned
my little hand
in yours
I like your smile,
your eyes
an approach
of lips
I love you
I need you
a first,
a wanted kiss.
i smiled.
