Believe In What Your Heart Is Saying

POEM "BELIEVE IN WHAT YOUR HEART IS SAYING" by martin gedge

Stay close to what you know
not shy of words nor feelings show
to guide you where you want to go
and test the weight of time
for deep inside this pure of spark
with every pulse and piece in part
to bring of light and shut the dark
I keep my place in line
for hard at seams we're chasing dreams
breaking rules and colored schemes
to fascinate and follow memes
that share a common thread
we have a trend to always bend
but never lie or try to end
what we believe and will defend
the pounding in our head
for train of thought has often got
a double take and trouble shot
of all the hurt that hits the spot
and rules the able brain
we thrust to seek the truth we speak
has sprung into a wiki leak
to spill of tales of tongue and cheek
we soak into the shame
for fake I will not sell my share
for all of those I love with care
from spitting teeth to pulling hair
to keep of what is true
to catch a cold or catch my death
with nothing more and nothing left
I'll beat this heart with every breath
to stop from turning blue...
