Kim Rodrigues Poet Roundel

Rush of My Pulse

“The wind is the pounding of my heart.”


Rush of my pulse ‘neath Autumn trees.
The brisk, cool wind - twist, coil and twine.
Refreshing eucalyptus-breeze -
Rush of my pulse.

Suddenly surrounded - all mine.
Dalliance incites me to freeze.
This uptick of heart is divine.

Deep breath, breathless, the swoon of knees.
Inspirited cheeks, cerise-wine.
This heartbeat of maples decrees -
Rush of my pulse.
