“Pounding Heart”

What I pen today

Are written as nightlights

Extinguished one-by-one.

As waves of tears fill my eyes,

New memories are born again

And with these written words

Of love so true … images of you.

Images evoking tender emotions 

Of another time…another place,

Another life … another pace.

While these blinded eyes still see,

Sometimes malevolent and so dark,

That locked deep inside,

The deepest archives of the mind.

And as I search the corridors of life,

To find your steadfast hand,

I know our love will survive this storm,

As to each other,

We belong through rhyme,

Soul mates, for all eternity.

For twins,

We of true spirit be,
We belong to another,

You and me.

Like the deep blue sea we rumble

And like the shadows of the night,

We stand still to praise the Lord

For those rays of sunshine, bright.

Rays softly shining,

Upon our skin once more,

Making all living creatures

Come to life deep within,

All alive,

Inside our pounding hearts.
