Be still my heart

'tis but

a nymph of love

that flashes

before your eyes

an illusion

which isn't, wasn't

yet who knows

might yet someday be

a lady, woman

a ten for you to see

to have, to hold

to love

measured not

by the world's standards

but by yours

a ten of the heart

and from her

you will never desire

to part

so, be still and wait

my beating heart.
