Make my heart like....

Make my heart like wind
So I may kiss you with my breath
Run my fingers through your hair
And invisibly envelop you in my touch

Make my heart like water
Flowing around or above the obstacles in my path
And may my rivers be filled
With bittersweet tears shed for you

Make my heart like petals
Beautiful with or without the flower
Scents heightened when crushed,
Lovely even when strewn on the ground

Make my heart like autumn leaves
Content to know their beauty is fleeting
But willing to go down
In a blaze of blood red glory

Make my heart like fire
Capable of an all consuming blaze
Or the tiniest candle’s flame
Extinguished easily when no longer desired

Make my heart like sand
One wave, one breath of the wind
And the footprints that you left
Are forever washed away
