Heartbeat

This poem was written about an ex of mine. I loved that kid to death, even though it ended badly. I had a dream about him, and this is what resulted.

Bu-Bump. Bu-Bump. Bu-Bump. Bu-Bump.

 

The lovely memories play before my eyes like a feature film plays solemly in the dark. Every softly spoken word repeats itself in my heart like the music on a staff. Every stolen glance, andevery undeserved chance are treasured and remembered like a mother's special lullaby.

 

Bu-Bump. Bu-Bump. Bu-Bump. Bu-Bump.

 

But whenever he's here with me and in my arms, my body soars with joy. And new memories are formed to star in the latest feature film. Every spoken word anew writes itself a new and beautiful song. Glances are no longer stolen, and every chance is suddenly deserved. And the pain is washed away to be replaced by sweet, sweet love.

 

And so the cadence begins again.

 

Bu-Bump.

Author's Note

Although the original purpose of this poem was to tell my boyfriend how much i cared, this is no longer the case. I posted this poem because it expresses the tunnel-vision a teenage love can have on a person. When that special someone isnt there, you feel dead, and when that SS is with you, you feel amazing. Its simply the most complicated part of being a teen.

In here, I find hope and an outlook for the best, hence the dream. Mesmerizing and calm, the potential romance is found in the deserving chances, suddenly returned.

Whether it was real or not, the point is that you felt like your soul is living off of that love. The heartbeat of your soul is the love between you and him. A very powerful feeling.

Like other reviewers said: The imagery is top notch in this word collage. A wallop is packed in brevity.. I love it.
