POEM:
You keep me,
as if I were a monk
inside the monastery of your heart.
You keep me,
as the deepest secret dwelling
in the darkest part of your heart.
You keep me,
as the quickest sentiment sent and meant
to strike passion in your heart.
You keep me,
replaying inside your brain
like the melodic memories
of the best musician of every genre
playing the chords of your heart.
You keep me,
on your fingertips
like a gust of wind
blowing from a second-floor window.
And now that I am gone,
you must release me,
as life has released me inside your heart.

Long before I climbed its slick, slanted edge.
