No Chime of the Heart

Veins of blood, pale and thin
Running amok, at keeper’s inn
Tortuously dwelled in diversity
Its vitality runs cold, in all proximity

Air tunnels pounding at the doors
Hatches jammed, life is over, no encores 
House of chambers stalled in overdrive
Community cells don’t come out alive

fate lurked within those walls  
Endangered life to which it stalled
Essentials of life were battered by time 
The pendulum stopped after its chime

A profound write that I enjoyed pausing on for the lines poetically called for thought pausing in complex levels. I really like this poem. All the best ... CayCay
