thumps

Something strange has
Happened to my heart
I can hear it thumping in
My ears� the thumps
Affect my breathing
I'm not sure if I should
Seek medical treatment

I did find the correlation

It's when thoughts of
My new Friend pass
Through the spectrum
Of my day's normal
Events and musings
Like a Geiger Counter
It's thump thump thump
When my new Friend
Appears in the window
Of my consciousness

I wonder how this
Strange happening
Happens�
What causes these
Odd changes in my
Otherwise pleasant
And placid days

I've heard that there
Are chemicals� fluids
Of the brain� which
Effect these thumps
But I'm not sure that's
True� I wonder if it's
Not really the bonding
Between two souls

It's a pleasant feeling
A frightening feeling
It's like tales I've heard
Of drug users� a rush
That becomes addictive
I wonder if it lasts forever
If not� for how long

Does my new Friend
Control it� manufacture
It� or do I control it
Or is the controller really
My brain and its minute
Traces of chemicals
Does it matter�
The thump thump
Thump is here today

And the thumps were
There almost from the
First moment we met�
Different from meeting
Others� there was a
Beam that connected
Our eyes in that instant
And eyes are connected
To the souls� everyone
Knows that � that's why
I think it could be a Soul
Connection� it's a simple
Geometry theorem�
'A' = 'B' = 'C' - therefore
Eyes = Thumps = Souls
Or something like that

And they said they felt
The same

And we saw each other
Again� slowly at first
Then more frequently
And then a lot more�
Our minds were similar
Our spirits were the same
We enjoyed each other's
Companionship� I was
Excited to introduce them
To yet others
I think I'm in love

And they said they felt
The same

And the first time we
Co-mingled our bodies
Lights streaked through
My brain� I could almost
Feel our souls reach out
And connect� bond with
The Other� there were
So many thumps I thought
Blood would pour from my
Ears and eyes

And they said they felt
The same

We've known each other
For some time now�
I can tell we're now a
Couple� I enjoy it when
Their pulse thumps
When another approaches
Me in their presence

I am becoming theirs
And they are mine

It's a wonderful feeling
To know you've become
Life Partners� Soul
Mates for eternity�
This finding of the Other
Has filled a void in my
Life� fulfilled its purpose

Soon we must announce
This happening� this
Fact� to ourselves
Advise others that this
Fact is so� that we will
Be together forever
Just us two�
No Anothers
There will be no more
Lights to Another's eyes
There is no more place
For thumps with Another
All my capacity has been
Taken� filled� consumed
This is how it must be

And they said they felt
The same

However I have noticed
An interesting phenomena
The thumps have mostly
Ceased to interrupt my day
At first this was welcome
There was no more anxiety
Tension� perhaps certainty
Replaces thumps

Are thumps really
Necessary for a life�
They were pleasant
They were disturbing
In some ways I miss
Their presence

But there is now a new
Replacement� now
I have a Soul Mate�
That's more fulfilling
Then simple thumps

But wait� the thumps
Were from my Soul Mate
Now that's confusing�
Puzzling
Where did the thumps go

And one day late at night
I hesitantly mentioned
This feeling to my Other
And reluctantly� they
Said they felt the same

But who needs thumps
Anyway� we will invent
Substitutions� we have
Talked about adding new
Pink faces to our lives
Surely those will add new
Thumps� at least I think
They will� I wonder if
They'll be the same kind

And so instead of thumps
We will add bonds� things
Rings� other links� to
Confirm our Partnership
To help insure it's stability
   Financial bonds
   Parental bonds
   Possessions bonds
Memories mostly pleasant

And they said they felt
The same
            _______

It's been some time since
Our beginning�
Our days are now calm
Placid� thumps a thing
Of the past� I think I
May really miss them

We've known each other
For a long time now�
Beams no longer shoot from
Our eyes to one another
They've been replaced by
Care and concern� comfort
I enjoy The Other's company
But their neck veins no longer
Thump when Another visits
With me in their presence

And I feel the same when
Another visits with them
In my presence

Maybe the function of
Thumps in a life has been
Vastly underestimated
Maybe excitement and rushes
Are supposed to be part of
A life� where did they go�
Why� once gone for The
Other� will they return
Does it matter�
            __________

And yesterday I met someone
... There was a beam that
Connected our eyes in that Instant�

This is insane� it's not
Supposed to be� or is it

What is taking place here
Thumps cannot replace my
Other� do they have to?

And my Other said they felt
The same

PS The 'White Coats' (biochemists) now say they know :

(1) The Thumps are real and measurable (not imagined)
(2) they come from minute, trace 'brain chemicals'
(3) the flow continues for about 2-3 years (sometimes less)

Interesting stuff for those who measure their lives in Thumps.
