Skip a Beat

Time permits limited patience & heartbeats
being understanding & holding on
Not hearing from you skips another heartbeat.

Premium Member Swift Horrid Path

Listen to my heartbeat sounds
As my soul travels inside
I scream at its horrid path
Death would swiftly come

Premium Member Two Lovers

two lovers 
together
on a seesaw
one on each end
going up and down
in time 
in opposite directions
with one heartbeat

Comfort

Sometimes
When I am very still
I can feel my heartbeat
Rocking me back and forth
Ever so gently
It's a very small motion

Hearing That Heartbeat

Hearing that heartbeat 
Felt shivers from tip to toe
Each kick so welcome
Weaving dreams for my unborn
A mother making process
Form: Tanka

Mother

Every heartbeat is bestowed upon,
Compassion embraces a child eternally
That uplifts a child’s soul in isolation in every way.

Premium Member This love letter will have to suffice

You've been gone so long.
My pen races to translate every heartbeat.
Longing to be together again.

sound and light spectrum delights
taking presence to new heights
as soul continues to sing
to which heartbeat should we cling

Fairy tale quest, green and lush

Hotter Than...

One pounding heartbeat---
Flame behind impassioned eyes
Two entwined spirits

Cherish It

Heartbeat,
Comes and leaves.
Never to touch,
And never to keep.
So, before it slips,
Out of your fingertips,
Cherish it...

Caressing the clouds, I felt sky’s heartbeat. Stratospheric song; I heard; It twanged my silver cord.

Night

Vision diming. Losing balance. 
Lights flashing. Heartbeat steady. 
Empty seat. Feeling shaky. 
Blood like meat. 
Drunk like rage.

Premium Member The Pulse

Not enough tonight;
No song can quell the desire,
I want to see you;
I need to feel your heartbeat;
The music it’s not your pulse.
Form: Tanka

Premium Member Zen mode

being still voids fill
witnessed by soul presence 
in astonishment and wonderment 
as pulse of vibrance renews
the heartbeat of God

Premium Member Dream Man

wraps arms around neck
drawing her close to his chest
she feels his heartbeat
as hers wanes into the dark
her dream finally fading

Premium Member Heartbeat

Breathing in acid rain, 
seeing red,
wrath burns through translucent veins, 
heartbeat rattles against a jilted sternum.

Death

breathing stops
no heartbeat
waxy pale
blood settles nether limbs 
temperature falls 
limbs get stiff
now to elements
to elements

Warm Blanket

Her skin whispers against his He wraps himself around her settling her in the warm blanket of His arms her breath & heartbeat lost in his.

Tell Me

monsoons rain
or 
summers heat - 
your love is the reason
that i breathe

tell me dear
what is sweet
is that U
or 
ur heartbeat.

Premium Member Glitter

glint a star in the eye a bling glitz that sparkles on lakes flits and twinkles blinks a pulse heartbeat fling

Premium Member Organic Whole

Our sweet connection to
sunlit forsythias,
leaping squirrels, and
chirping chickadees—
deeper than a lifespan,
closer than a heartbeat.
