My Musical Notes Poem by Gayathri Sukumaran

Thou, the beat of my heart
The beat that inspires my art
The very beat that brings me to life
The same beat that afflicts me like a knife

I never heard the beat of a drum
Or knew where it came from
All that I heard were you
All that I knew were you
The beat of my heart, pure like dew

Thy music that made me blind
Do you know it had reached my mind?
Did you ever know it was building a mansion,
With your name etched on it in fashion?

I wondered where you went
All those times at the end
The times that made me weep
I knew I was going deep

I'm scared that you'll go away
Leaving me behind in stray
Don't tell me not to come in your way, dear
How will I part my self from here?
