Etymology of the Heart (16 of 365)

Hi all, 

Welcome to day 16. Well into week three of the poem a day for a year challenge.

Today's word Etymology meaning "the study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history."

Etymology of the Heart

Your smile floats on me
Like a leaf in a pool
On a rainy cloudless day 

Your lips bloom
Red and sultry up through
The soft wet mud 

Your skin though you would never say
Is like a beam of the finest and smoothest pine

There is a forest in you
That is a living room 
It holds me in a lounge chair embrace

Home is this touch
My hand touching yours
Our anatomy connected
Like a jigsaw
Our minds interweaving and producing this

Singular beauty.
