the heartbeat is the snare <br />and the drum beat within the flare <br />it is percussioned on the strings <br />of the sensory nerves, sometimes it rings <br />like a bell <br />to tell <br />the actor when the body cell <br />and muscles rebel <br />against a situation <br /> <br />the heartbeat is the music <br />that diffuses from within <br />correlatively, the heart <br />elevates the tempo of the music <br />thus, the heartbeat propels the music of the soul <br />condenses the rhythm and maintains the tempo <br /> <br />when confronted by fright <br />the heart becomes the stimuli <br />to which we respond to fright <br />faster like lightning; the heartbeat <br />such vibrations and continuous music <br />is the rave, reggae if not the rock n' roll of the heart <br /> <br />be it a dream that frightens or conscious <br />be it at funeral or night crawling <br />be it the 'karma sutra' or 'my cousin vinny' <br />be it at election polls or graduation ceremonies <br />be it wherever, howsoever <br />the heartbeat flexibly responds <br /> <br />but when we soulfully relaxed <br />the music from the heart <br />beats and can be heard as if from afar <br />the beat can even not be felt in dakar <br />nor can it be in the car <br />but within the possessor of thy heart <br />such is the heartbeat <br />the one complex music genre.<br /><br />Onalethuso Petruss Ntema<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-heart-beat-3/
