Do not speak, love.
Hold your peace.
Keep your silence.

Listen.
Listen.
Listen.

Do you hear it –
The lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub?
Tell me.
Do you hear it?

I’ve been trying
To silence it,
Muffle it with poetry,
But it is there.

Lub-dub, lub dub, lub-dub.

It won’t stop.
It won’t stop…
It won’t stop!

It’s right here.
Right here!
in my center,
at my core!

Lub-dub, lub dub, lub-dub.
It won’t keep quiet!
Lub-dub, lub dub, lub-dub.
It won’t be still!

Lub-dub, lub dub, lub-dub.
Lub-dub, lub dub, lub-dub.
Lub-dub, lub dub, lub-dub.

Be still, love,
Be still.
Be still!

Do not speak, love.
Hold your peace.
Keep your silence.
Listen.
Listen.
Listen.

Do you hear it –
The lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub?
Tell me.
Do you hear it?
Listen!
Why won't you hear?

I've never felt this,
It feels like true bliss.
My heart changes its beat,
dub-lub, lub-dub, dub-lub.
Every time you make a glance,
I grow cold, almost still in my stance.
That smile,
I bet you I could see it for a hundred miles.
I yearn for the warmth of your embrace.
dub-lub, lub-dub, dub-lub.
I've never wanted someone so desperately,
You make me feel like a kid.
Do you see what you did?
I wonder how it would be,
If you were here with me.
dub-lub, lub-dub, dub-lub.
I imagine us jamming to the station,
It's obvious which one is your favorite; the rock nation.
You with your hand on my leg,
I can feel my heart racing once again.
dub-lub, lub-dub, dub-lub.
Please forgive me,
But I think I'm falling head over heels.
Maybe because you make me feel at ease,
Maybe because the way you make me feel is natural like the summer breeze.
*dub-lub, lub-dub, dub-lub.
empty..
nothing..
floating through space..
that's what i am feeling at this moment..
i am here, but i'm slowly slipping away..
losing my grasps to the world of reality..
i'm just another body..
another lifeless being..
just another vessel..
my heart is ticking inside me..
like a bomb waiting to explode..
ripping my chest open..
leaving me vulnerable and misshapen.
lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub
the never ending rhythm..
i so much want to cease 'em..
lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub
every beat of this muscled thing..
only pain to my body it brings..
lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub
suppressing my lungs
denying any air inside..
holding myself in..
pushing my needs aside..
lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub
my stomach is growling..
butterflies inside me,fluttering..
lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub
i will my heart to stop..
why won't this agony let me be..

just want to disappear,
i am a waste of space..
i'm worth nothing,
but a slap on the face..
i shouldn't be here,
i'm just a big disgrace
i should just be alone,
a misfit in any place..

i know, yes, i admit.
i am a selfish *****..
i deserve this things.
for the endless hurting inside,
for the ever stabbing in my heart..

i just have myself to keep..
no one else to think..
just me, alone, forever.
nothing's gonna be better..


'til death brings the dark
who will hold the knife

Lub-Dub Lub-Dub
My heart beats
I grow to love
Lub-Dub Lub-Dub
Good days and happy memories
My heart beats, When bad days approach
My heart beats
Lub-Dub Lub-Dub
Faster and faster
Harder and harder
Life is difficult
Still
My heart beats
Lub-Dub Lub-Dub
The pinnacle of sadness
My world shatters and so does my heart
Lub-Dub Lub-Dub
Still my heart beats
My world in shambles
My life in decay
But my heart beats. Why? How?
It hurts
The days get harder and harder and so does the pounding in my heart
LUB-DUB LUB-DUB
it can’t take this
I can’t take this
Soon I fall apart and collapse under the weight of the world
And that heartbeat fades
Lub-dub..... Lub-Dub
I’m hitting a flatline
That immense heartbeat diminished
I’m gone but everyone’s heart still beats
Lub dub lub dub our hearts go
Looking for you, trying to feel you, talk to you,
We miss you...

Lub dub lub dub our hearts say
You came to this world,
We cared for you, loved you, guided you and then you are gone.
You left us with your sweet memories.

Lub dub lub dub our hearts remember
We want time to revert and take us to those days we spent with you,
Those days full of love, affection and fun,
Thank you for making our lives so beautiful.
We know you will be watching us from the sky,
Up, up so high,
Shining like a star, so, so far.
Lub dub lub dub our hearts go.

We close our eyes, we see you,
We sleep, and we dream of you.
We walk, and we hold you,
We talk, and we hear you,
We feel you, always in our heart lub dub lub dub,
Our hearts go with you...

lub dub lub dub
fist clenched in my chest
nerves and nodes grasping the strings
my pacemaker running rampant

lub dub lub dub
each chamber beats and pounds
pressure rising ever higher
millimeters of mercury mounting

lub dub lub dub
my vena cava caving in
my pulmonaries passing out
tight and taut now limp and languid

lub dub lub dub
my atriums crumpling
my ventricles moldering
its contents come spilling

liquid straw spouting
a serum suspending
red discs running
gasping for something
then slowing and clotting

my leukocytes leaking
my platelets melting
blue blood is boiling
crying for something
then breaking and rotting

my strings are snipped
cutting off the circulation
a cardiac collapse
i wanted love to make my heart beat
not bring my arteries pain
i wanted you to make my system complete
but alas it was all in vein
Lub dub lub dub my heart goes
Looking for you, trying to feel you, talk to you,
I miss you...
But where are you mama?

Lub dub lub dub my heart says
You brought me to this world,
You cared for me, loved me, guided me and then
You left me alone, alone and just alone,
To face this world full of challenges, struggle and hatred.
Why mama? tell me why?

Lub dub lub dub my heart remembers
I want time to revert and take me to those days I spent with you,
Those days full of love, affection and fun,
Thank you mama for your efforts to make me stand on my feet BUT
Mama mama mama I always need you,
To guide me, to walk with me, to be next to me...
I miss you...
But where are you mama?

I close my eyes, I see you,
I sleep and I dream of you.
I walk and I hold you,
I talk and I hear you,
I feel you mama, always in my heart lub dub lub dub,
My heart goes with you...

The shape of the reason why I am not getting any response from you,

                it's ʀʜᴏᴍʙɪᴄᴏsiᴅᴏᴅᴇᴄᴀʜᴇᴅʀᴏɴ

20 regular triangular faces,
30 square faces,
12 regular pentagonal faces,
60 vertices and 120 edges,
Yet you told me our hearts are asymmetrical?




Paint me as the woman you once loved,
Blend my past and future into one another

                 in sfᴜᴍᴀᴛᴏ

Without lines or borders,
With myriads of minuscule brushstrokes,
Till the smoke hoaxes their visual for few seconds,
Albeit they know what they saw some time after,




The melody of your heartbeat,
Just like my poems,

                   it's ᴜɴʀʜʏᴛʜᴍɪᴄ

"Lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub lub lub lub-dub",
Every single night failed to lullaby,
So all this time I've been an insomniac,
Wide awake studying the pattern of your pulse as you call it a night.
Tick tock tick tock, lub dub lub dub
So happy I was, in you
So secure I was, in you
So warm I was, in you
My favorite place is in you and with you.

Tick tock tick tock, lub dub lub dub
Those moments I spent in you, I cherish
Those moments I shared with you I relish
Moments without you are unbelievable
Moments without you are unthinkable.
My favorite place is in you and with you.

Tick tock tick tock, lub dub lub dub
Why did you let me out?
Why did I come out?
To see this changing world?
To feel these changing thoughts?
I wish you take me in
I wish I could go back in
My favorite place is in you and with you...

You always said believe in love
But this word doesn't know the meaning of trust
I wish there is a miracle and
This world also turns into a place
That I always dream of
My favorite place, my favorite place
IN YOU "MOM"
In you...
Seconds ticking
I moved closer
My left hand around her

Seconds ticking
She moved closer
Her right hand around me

I can feel her breath
I can smell her scent
Of her skin

I moved further
Now I'm listening to her heart beat

Lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub
Ja-dach ja-dach ja-dach

Yes yes yes

Flowers of water
Came from the clouds tip tap tup
To drench us

Further I moved
I can feel the electromagnetic induction
Two bodies can't get closer

Clock stopped
Time warped
Space stood still

It's annihilation
Two souls merged

It's pair production
The merged soul released
A couple of sparkles

Little sounds
vibrations through the bodies
My lips touched hers
Rest's blanked out
It's nirvana

Couple of tear drops
coming from her eyes
Ayes fondled my lips

I have tasted a kiss.
It's love



Seconds ticking,
I move closer.
My left hand around her.

Seconds ticking,
She moves closer,
Her right hand around me.

Feeling her breath
Smelling the scent
Of her skin.

I move further.
Listening to her heart beat.

Lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub
Ja-dach ja-dach ja-dach

Yes... yes... yes...

Flowers of water,
Rushing from the clouds, tip tap tup
To drench us.

Further I move,
Electromagnetic induction,
Our bodies can't get closer.

Clock stops.
Time warps.
Space stands still.

It's annihilation,
Two souls merging.

Pair production,
The merged soul releasing
A couple of sparkles.

Little sounds,
vibrations through the bodies.
My lips touch hers.
The rest is a blank.
Nirvana.

Tiny tear drops,
escape from her eyes.
and ****** my lips.

I have tasted a kiss.
It's love’s perpetual bliss...

What is it I hear..?
It is so low but loud enough...
It is wandering through spaces as if searching for someone...
It is just a sound then when I am sensing the pain of it...


lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub...
How strange it is.., somehow I know this sound...
O Wait.., Now I see where it is coming from...
O dear heart is it your crying what I heard..?
What was that pain I sensed from you..?


Heart says...


O dear THOUGHT I am your soul...
You seek the pleasure and I seek the truth...
You roam worlds in search of amusement and I follow you in search of enchantment...
You want to be the lonely King of the universe, and I want to be the dancing dream of the special soul...
I became desperate and lonely that I went in search of the special one alone...


...


O, dear heart, I was busy with the world and ignored you so long...
You are alone no more as I am with you to explore...
Let's find your partner and seed some love ...

Draw a heart on your palm

And pretend it's beating there
Pulsing away dub lub dub lub.

Pretending makes it easier
