Wild Heartbeat
With you I was there
When you sang that rapturous song
You stirred my heart so deeply
A longing you had etched
On the age-old bark of my pain
That you brought a temporary salve
How could I resist such tempting relief?
With you I was there
When you glided with your snow-laden feet
To swipe away pitiful realities
Took me to heights of better days
So lovely, how lovingly
The twirls of imaginations you created
In the dance floor of my emotions.
With you I was there
Secured my joy
Locked my heart
But the pain ever constant
Banged on the door of the vulnerable
I answered, "Please, not this soon I can go."
The music is still playing.
The dance is still gliding.
Wrapped up in the moment so beautifully."
But to you my mournful longing
was only a hollowed, pitiful begging.
With the passing of time
My heart has not gone cold
Illuminated by your transcending light
Your voice is still my melody
Your gait is my joyous promenade
Splendors to last me
One more sweet imagination
One more wild heartbeat to take me
Back to your world.
