Heart pulsates
Heart pulsates painfully
In the smoky reference of time
Fear factor sings the rhyme
Mutilating all the tenderness
Rhythmically with its crime
Body and mind scatters
Moves here and there
Like a salt paper
And crackles
As crispy cream cracker
Time coughs up
Its dead leaves to cry out wild
Bewilderment appears
As bread of daily thoughts
Baton of ethics wither and dead
Vultures house within
Gather skeletons
Of blood stains and shadows
Burning coal prepares
Melodies for moon and stars
Birds in distress
Fly to wilderness
Melting in pain all the way
Life as an innocent child
Corners itself, breath in silence
Keeps the house of heart and time
Unconcern for an eternal line
Anchors hopes
Blank and black will die in night
Morning of tomorrow will
Herald its funeral right
Again the green
Will come up and shine
Pump the heart
To make fresh and fine
