In The Summer

Standard

In the summer

We were free.

Life’s waves crashed

At our feet.

I could hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

Above the wind,

Above the rush.

I could hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

As we ran until we were

Breathless.

As our salty lips brushed

And our

Hair tangled.

As we fell to the shore

Spent.

Still.

Loved.

Tell me

Sweet soul,

Are you still loved?

Even now I feel your

Heartbeat

On my skin.

Even now I hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

Tick Tock

Standard

Time

Tick

Time

Tock

Goes the clock

Out of synch with my beating heart.

And the gears

Seem to know their  job.

To know exactly what to do at the precise moment.

Time

Tick

Time

Tock

My heart so clumsy and forgetful

In comparison to the graceful way

The

Pendulum

Swings.

It keeps swaying,

Steadfast.

It does not ask questions

Or

Reminisce.

All the while my heart thumping

To fill in the

Moments

In-between each

Tick.

In-between each

Tock.

Until

The clock,

It

Stops.
