Beat to Beat


Beat to Beat

It’s love that makes me write these words
No flowers, not harps or singing birds

It’s love in which I cannot hide
The feelings I should keep inside

It’s love that when I close the door
I do a dance and hope for more

It’s love in which I dream awake
A thousand versions of my fate

It’s love that sits me on the stair
Whilst others sleep without a care

It’s love in which I’m wrapped up tight
Corners tucked, so bugs won’t bite

It’s love that turns me upside down
My guts awash with tumbling clowns

It’s love in which I lose control
Go round the bend and up the pole

It’s love that comes without a warning
Then does not leave until the morning

It’s love in which I cannot eat
As I am empty till we meet

It’s love that smells of bonfire smoke
I shall inhale until I choke

It’s love in which I am complete
From day to day, and beat to beat.
