Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

Your Beating Heart

You cannot hear a footfall, 
in a forest 
Deepening silence 
Deepening night 

I could feel its' heartbeat 
Through my capped hands 
Jewelled feathers, silent and still, 
in the forest lands 

You cannot hear footfalls, 
in the forest 
Buried in the rustle of the night 
Night calls 

I lie awake... 
Waiting for you 
You cannot hear a footfall, 
in the forest 

I felt your beating heart, 
through my body 
Jewelled eyes, bright 
In the forest of the night 

You cannot hear a footfall, 
in the forest of the night 
I hear your beating heart 
jewelled eyes, burning bright 

My body can hear... 
Your heart beating 
In the forest of the night 
The moon... 
glowing in glorious light 

In the forest , 
footfall in the night 
Wildly beating heart 
Eyes, jewelled and bright 
Coming to me
