Equation

My heart is an equation
for when you are close
it beats harder! Stronger!
when you are far,
it is weak.

My heart is an equation
when you are in my arms
my heart has a rapid beat
when you are far,
it slows.

my heart is an equation
without you here
a minute is a year
and a metre a mile
and statuesque
stands my heart.

Time

It took me
the beauty of your eyes
to love you
an empty bed
to miss you
and many lifetimes
to forget you.
