Palpitation
Palpitation
Heart
That palpitating piece
That vital part;
Tik-Tok, Tik-Tok, it goes on
Is it saying?
“Live man, live, as long as I tick on.”
Man
Tries hard
Awake and asleep
He is desperate to hear his heart beep
He fears that If it stops
He will lose all his dreams.
Tik-Tok,
Teases the heart
Sometimes refusing to start
In panic when he clutches his heart
It seems to say
“You’re doomed if you disobey”
When he
In arrogance taxes his heart
It starts pounding and beating hard
Threatening him
“Stop, you fool or I shall stop.”
When he
Grows old
Unable to keep the pace
It gets angry, it flares up
It stops ticking, it stops beating.
Heart
That once palpitated
But now has stopped.
Seeing people mourn, emits a soft groan
“Why do these people cry?
When all of them one day will die?”
