An Aching Heart's Last Beat

Slowly in ones and feeble twos
The heavy pain made the heart shrew
Corrupting the thick muscles of the heart, let living a few
And infecting the feelings too
But now it is silent like an empty room
Unlike the blaring rays of the sun, but like that of the opposite, moon
Now the pain had all gone, and dead
But replaced by a lifeless silence instead
Now it lay alone on the cloudy bed
Ruled by a boring eternal death

Vladislav Raven Date: 2/5/2016 2:44:00 PM My dear friend, i was glad to read that in your reply to Silent you said this was a fictional write. This does actually make the write even better for the emotions written seem so real. Always let the emotions run free my friend, happy or sad, let the heart speak as you have done here. Another excellent write my friend. A seven from me....Vladislav.

Michael Whatley Date: 12/31/2015 7:01:00 AM For reasons in plain sight, this is indeed a potent piece. The title: very gripping. The pain "corrupting" the muscles: powerful stuff. Great write again, Shehu. Login to Reply White Sage Date: 12/31/2015 7:06:00 AM thanks for the comment dear Michael
