Ghazal From Inside

Man, your warm lips, quiver like the skin on a drum
And heart muscles rhythm beats a steady drum
*
We are totally whole, neither of us a crumb,
as one and in unison, we strike the drum.
*
Before we entered the world where did we come from?
Even in the womb we could feel the sound of the drum.
*
Body member enters, it can’t help but succumb
One beat follows another, in time with the drum
*
As long as you feel the pulse of finger and thumb
Jackie’s heart will keep your love. Constant beating drum.
