There’s Something in the Heart

There’s something in the heart that summons
A secret warning
Time and all its little ghosts
Rounding midnight with a rush of twilight
Tipping the glass & careening care
Placing him or her on a bed to recline
And turning their key
There’s something in the heart that whispers
A damaged promise
A delicate river bridge, like memory
Waving and wandering while we cross
Fanning us as we burn with the understanding
That we are left behind by forever
Grasping at that butterfly
There’s something in the heart that condemns
A kindly notice
A wiser note
A deep bass strum on your fallen grace
Mapped out in slow caresses
Hounded by an unhealthy desire
To defeat their present gaze
There’s something in the heart that resurrects
Holds wisdom ransom
And misdirects us all into temptation
As the future pounds its hooves on that stable door
As the forge becomes a graced cathedral
And the sparks the stars that stain the glass
Letting all come to pass
There’s something in every heart, oil and water
Turgid pride and shame it’s daughter
The love, the rain and the waiting leopard
Madly in love with all her mistakes
Making tracks through fearful suspirations
With the victor may you march
Truth is danger met without trepidation
