Heartbeats

The melancholy howls
     echoes through the dark forest
               coldness clings to skin
                           heartbeats infused with time
                                          souls intertwined with nature

Angela Roark Date: 2/9/2015 9:52:00 PM now u are getting me Lyric man. this is how i write :). i write with passion seeping throughout my soul. when i write i just let my mind go free . the pen is my dagger and the paper is my target. i have so many poems i have wrote for over two years now. i didn't start back writing until two years ago. i quit it when i turned 18. when i was 17 i wrote my first poem and won a poetry contest and was published by that one poem. for many years i stayed in the shadow until i wanted to come out.
