The night beats irregularily <br />Abnormal rhythms have their way <br />Consequences pulsate <br />Like a drum <br />Hammering home the truth <br />The darkness clammers <br />For a voice <br />Half splintered <br />Shattered <br />Hiding from the near full moon <br />The stars its only alibi <br />Murmurs of possibility emerge <br />Acquaitance redefines itself <br />But reality seizes <br />Uneven tones reverberate <br />Echos of other nights <br />Spent with heartbreak <br />Pain announces once again <br />Emptiness overcomes <br />The heart attacks <br />In the deep emotions <br />Of todays hour <br />When all that is left <br />Is a lone heartbeat <br /> <br /> <br />The Cats In The Cradle <br /> <br />17 February 2011<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fool-me-once-3/
