My Heart “Stops” breathing once in that moment


 

A sudden appearance stops my breath

once in that moment, you air my hearth

Slip out of my zone, seems unknown

I clutch close, hold my heaps, seal my bones

Merge as waves in the ocean, my heart fumbles

Either to tap or trap, I was swamped with, slow mumbles

Clout by the visage, pop abruptly, I lock my fumes

That water the vigilance, and wrap the resumes

Unable to reckon, the spin of my beats, the flex of my heat

Yet, up on your screen, steadily and swiftly, I sit and seat.
