this heart beat

life

this heart beat 

beat in rhythm 

with the thunderstorms

the snap and crackle

of gloomy skies 

revealing their story 

at the skies teared up 

releasing the congestion 

of pent  up emotion 

this heartbeat 

plays its own rhymes 

the rhythm and poetry 

that’s distilled 

in the barrels of this organ 

aged like wine

better with time 

i shall release its story 

let it flow like the rain 

let the heart bleed out the pain 

make use of blood as ink 

to write hieroglyphs 

to withstand the test of time 

someday they shall analyse 

the broken pieces 

that made this hearts’ story 

this heart will beat 

like the African drum 

calling fourth visions 

illusions of a time it was whole
