lost atmosphere
sleepless and tireless uneasily watching
life unfolding listening to the irregular
heartbeat curious as to how long
it can hold on beating like that
amidst such atmosphere
longing for regularity
once auspicious
now plaintively
selectively
seeking
a true
love
lost
words
stealing
obscurely
quite pointedly
awakening images
of painted photographs
children colorfully engaged
actively bouncing upon knees
unconcerned about the heartbeat
certain the years would never pass
without losing you nor the atmosphere
