Heartbeat

         Each Day            Every Day

Inside, Something         Magical Happens  

                      You are  Alive

 Your heart beats             A heart beat

   The drum beats            A drum beat

          Intertwined           They thud

            Difference         Is Invisible

          When the       Drum beats

          When the     Heart beats

                 You are  Alive

                     Together

                         One  

Summer is an Oxymoron

Scorching hot or rain

Very humid or a drought

Gosh, make up your mind!

 

Flying

Air, rushes through your shirt

Hair is wild

Your eyes water

Downhill you glide over the asphalt

You are almost flying.

A blur of a face you see, not far from your side

A look of determination,

A challenge

Faster, Faster

Flying higher and higher

You see the target

The final push,

You won.

Your pedals come to a stop.

A Summers Morning

Stretch your arms

You feel the pins and needles rush away

You long for the dream you had just then

You attempt to have it once more

attempt failed

Walking on cold tile, your feet seek warmth

grab a box of cheerios

and head to the couch

You pull a blanket to your ears

this is what snug is

The sleepless soul inside

closes your eyes

The dream replays

this time a somber ending

the dream ends and a new one begins

Note-

I recently discovered this poem that I wrote in 2008, I made a few edits.

My Unique Voice

I have a unique voice

A unique mind

My choices and actions,

Swayed by no one but me.

Each individual thought or idea

is created by my unique mind,

And spoken by my unique voice.
