Heartbeat

Thump, Thump
The cadence of your heart
beats to its own drum.
Soothing me, calming me
softly echoing, a sweet hum.
~
Thump, Thump
My arms tighten around you
closer to hear that thrum.
The room's only light offered by the moon
I listen to your heart strum.
~
Thump. Thump
After our night of passion
this embrace is the sum
of our love, affection, and adoration
I slowly begin to succumb.
~
Thumb, Thump
My eyes feel heavy
I wonder how this could have come,
that my love for you has grown stronger
even now I ponder this as I become
~
Thump, Thump
Ever so tired, closing my eyes
I keep my thoughts away from
All our trials and problems that will arise
I am happy to relish and feel numb
~
Thump, Thump
completely taken by your embrace
I hold you tighter, beginning to swum
into the realm of dreams
never again can will my face be glum
~
Thump, Thump

A Flake In Time

The snow falling down on you and i

tumbling down nonetheless

From the dull grey pillows in the sky

landing softly upon your dress

I look down to the lake with a wandering eye

peaceful, serene, and not another soul on this ness

except of course, for you and i

captivated by your hair you did up in a tress

you sit here and i mustn’t lie

I love your sweet, soft caress

pulling me by my black tie

brushing your lips against mine to express

as my hand comes to rest upon your thigh

your absolute devotedness

my soul melts, with a sigh

my heart a swelling to excess

tears form as I begin to cry

yearning for this moment to be ageless

The Eye (Edgar Allan Poe Adaptation)

After such a heinous act
how can I be so calm
I tell you this in a pact
never tell for fear of The Eye
~
I remember
like yesterday
sitting there,
staring into The Eye
I felt it in the air
That’s when I knew
I had to take it,
remove The Eye
~
Crazy, and mad
you might think of I
Smile at you
I hold your gaze with My Eye
~
Now, sit and stay
be a good lad
sit down as tell
this tale of the heart gone mad
~
You should have seen me young lad
Meticulously was I
As I planned for those seven days;
how to steal that Eye
~
You would have loved to see
Oh I was so cunning
Almost salivating now
my plan was stunning
~
Upon each night I creep
Into the room of The Bligh
at midnight, observing
watching the Evil Eye
~
Cracking the door
I poke my head in, exposed
Ha! Would a crazy be as careful?
there the eye lay, closed
~
Seven nights did this occur
each night the same as the last, I swear
On the eighth, again I enter
This time he calls “who’s there?”
~
Silenced remained,
I lingered still
quiet as ever
Twas quite the thrill
~
“It is nothing but the wind in the chimney
it is only a mouse crossing the floor,
It is merely a cricket which has made a single chirp.”
he uttered
~
Though comforting the eye might try
Death lingered, so close by
Laying back down, continued on did I
I released a soft sigh
~
That’s when the feelings came
Anxiety crept over with no warning
Nervous? but how? I was so sure
Then, I thought, their would be no mourning
~
A shriek from my lips
to the bed I ran
dragging out the eye to the floor
Pulling the bed over the old man
~
Standing back
peeling back the planks
concealing him
to the floor I gave thanks
~
The deed done and finished
relishing in the moment
this act forever with me
for life I would have to own it
