Sounds Of My Beating Heart Poem by Flavia Richardson

Dragons breathing fire
Blowing
Puffing the smoke away

Fading beats and bones clicking
Under your touch

Sound of drums
Chants of rain drops smashing
Spreading on my windowsill

My chest, my heart ticking loud in an empty room
Interrupted by small pauses

Muscles in my chest, contracting power of my strength, my energy,
Feeding my infinite soul
My life pleasure

Midnight concert in my chest
Sound of rhythmic music
Odes of joy
Flatters of despair when you are not there
