The Taming of the Heart

I own my own wild heart
pulsing inside of me -
that I can’t set loose,
that I can’t refuse.
But I know,
I know
that someday
I will have to see
the Taming of the Wild Heart.

* * *
and I want to,
I need to
wash your beautiful hands
with my tears,
and dance
sensual dances
with you -
in the fire of the wild night.
