Heart

H arrowing muscle! forcing passion on my soul. E ver-present beating - a metronome of feeling. A rduous yet wonderful, fickle yet insistent. R acing with adrenaline - Swinging, jumping, screaming! - T ill it stops... and all is silent and unfeeling. For Rick's "Any 5 Line Poem" contest Placed: 4th
