My Heartbeat

My heartbeat; twinkle, twinkle, like a star- Secured up above the celestial might. It keeps sparking its continuous light's bar... When nothing shines upon my humble scar, That tarry hopeful bait to luring light, My heartbeat; twinkle, twinkle, like a star. When the dazzling sun has gone to rest, far The reach of warming sky, unleashing night, It keeps sparking its continuous light's bar... When night mocks its spark- "try cover hectare, For running blood stream to-fro vessel's trite" My heartbeat; twinkle, twinkle, like a star. How pale sky hides its spark, off eyes afar... Brings doubt to play along faithful delight, It keeps sparking its continuous light's bar... When no pause stops the tiny spark's radar, It won't shut its eyes peeping to reignite! My heartbeat; twinkle, twinkle, like a star. It keeps sparking its continuous light's bar...
