My Heart Beats
A Heart’s Desperate Longing
With a yearning, it aches and sighs
My mind hunts, but it never guides
Emotions overwhelm, lead the way
Sadness is my constant companion, never far away
Stronger than the thirst for love, I am
A deep wound, a painful dam
I am the crazy, the devoted, the timeless one
The sunken, captive, learned and undone
Like a star in the sky, I am in love
Neither I am his nor is he mine, from above
A flame and love inside me burns
Its fragrance circles me; it never turns
I close my eyes to capture its essence
Alone, I sit and talk to my presence
My mouth only speaks through its words
My body is weak, weary, and disturbed
Oh heart, what have I done to myself
Tomorrow the madness is comforting, and peaceful in stealth
For whoever’s fate is like mine,
Let my words comfort and align
So come, my dear friend, let’s embrace
Love is a trial, but it has a place.
