The Beats of the Drums Inside of My Head
Listen
a distinct sloshing murmur
that murmur of a beating heart
a heart that continually gets ripped in pieces
pieces that are given away freely
freely to those who have earned them
earned them by creating a distinct memory
a memory attached to the rhythm of the mind
the mind that will never forget
Listen
a quickly taken startled breath
a startled breath drawn in by elemental lungs
lungs forced to react to an unexpected touch
the touch of young worked hands
hands so warm and comforting with friction
a friction created by skin touching skin
touching skin like silk, the color of the moon
the moon shining bright and high outside the window
Listen
a whisper sending out a message
a message only ment for certain ears
ears serving as a tunneling portal
a portal ending at some deep desire
a desire that has been lingering long
lingering long within every pore of the body
the body that is wanting without question
a question as simply detailed as YOU
Think
Think about the connections being made in your dreams
the ones where nothing really is as it seems
where everything has a meaning
but means something else
where the images symbolize something
so much greater than yourself
Think about the connections being made in your heart
the ones where you were loved and then torn apart
where you were once whole
but it didn't last long
where you vowed to give up everything
so you could finally belong
Think about the connections being made in your soul
the ones where you gave in and almost lost control
where you struggled so hard
but lost in the fight
where someone had to come to the rescue
so much sympathy given at the sight
Think about all these things
think about your life
think about the connections being made between you and me
once you fully understand it,
try to get back to me
