Time Rumba


As time passes my heart begins to beat A slow and steady rumba In contrast to the lead in my feet Each ticking of the clock Each roar within my veins Grows and grows and grows To what can only be called pain The tempo quickens My breath comes in gasps But nothing has changed As I let time by me pass.

This poem was written from a dream as most of my things usually do.
