Pulse

 

 

The beat goes on

60 beats per minute

the heart exclaims

and feels good

 

rejoicing in life

without fear or anxiety

expressed in time and beat

the song of the heart

the rhythm of life itself

 

I am glad I still have

a pulse

not having one

is deadly

 

do not take my pulse

I want to keep it

 

let me feel its drumbeat

it's steady palpitation

a signal from the heart

 

a message meaning

there is life

and life is ever good.

Good heavens dear dk
You mean there are pulse stealers?
Looking out for beat beat beats
Are they like drug dealers?

Who then sell on to users
Thirsting extra beats?
Making loads of money while
Peddling in the streets?

Flippancy aside, I liked your poem. Just beware of pulse stealers.....

a pulse
is a plus-
life is
enough.
