Array ( [sid] => 46415 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Be still my beating heart [time] => 2004-05-06 14:09:48 [hometext] => A darker twist upon those words most cliche and used often as pertaining to romance. My rendition perchance of that quip of lover's line now transformed into a suicidal soul's tagline. [bodytext] => Be still my beating heart

be still...

of what glories of enruptured dreams
of what motives do I have to live
of what hopes upon which to breathe
of what indigence upon which to believe

be still...

no more beatings to guile's deceitful ploy
no more of that repetitive ungentle drum
no more pertaining to life's impossible joy
no more tendings to that incessent hum

be still...

let hot blood cool within your chambers
let life's echo loom to a distant whisper
let your valves unspool from unceasing labors
let silence replace your pulsing rancour

be still my beating heart

I think life would be horribly hopeless if it weren't for the gentle beating of love's heart and the sweet murmurings that come along with it. Beautiful write, my friend.
