Cosmic by S.J. TylerMy hand, glued to
your chest
Telephone receiver
Through it
I hear:
Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat beat
Beat beat
Ba-ba-beat
Ba-ba-beat
It gets faster and faster
Louder more loud
Thumping through my hand
To my veins
In my blood
Your blood pumps
Pumps
Sigh
Breathe
Inhale-
Beat
Exhale-
Beat
Inhale
I think
What a better rhythm?
To sleep to
To dream to
To lay by, so still
Record it on my hand
my other hand like a telegraph needle
inking out the pattern
onto paper
onto flesh
in my ears
unforgettable
emblazoned
embossed there
forever as we lie
I let my hand loose
Pried from your moist warm skin
Lay it on your scalp
Soft soft hair
The phone rings again
Through my receiver I hear
Every thought
In your mind
I am safe.
I am calm.
Let you rest in your trance
Close your eyes
Dream of me
