Heart encased in amber

 


Like a heart encased in amber,

a stray ember from another day,

a once forgotten refrain,

hummed internally,

sunlight piercing through the grey.

You walked my way.

Everything else stopped.

Like a photograph,

except my vision

was breathing to my

hearts beating rhythm

as the image of you

filled the view.

In a single heartbeat

my world was rocked.

Traffic no longer raced,

pedestrians stopped in place,

sound evaporated off to space,

to be heard only by

the stars

and the milky way.

 

I was entranced,

my lips stopped, legs flopped.

My heart was all over the shop,

in need of a jolt, an electrical shock

to restart my ticking clock.

It was like a sensory assault,

I was completely undone.

Beauty washed over me all at once.

I swam through the gloom,

like a swan upon a reflective lake,

in a sunset of pure unfiltered love rays.

I was in a daze. mind glazed over

as you continued to walk my way.

 

A single shot of adrenaline

brought my heart back to rhythm,

but my body was still stuck.

A rooted tree that has been

sat in place for centuries.

A statue of memories.

I lost all ability to speak,

a master of ceremonies

whose voice was out of reach.

I just stood,

feeling all of the emotions flood

over me.

A tantalising wave of excitement

from a boundless open sea.

 

I could feel entropy

wearing away my bones,

I felt empathy with the stones,

and the way they

can only watch and see.

I felt the way a cliffside feels

when it all starts to crumble.

I felt a rumble as I awoke

from my dream.

To realise it was not real,

but my mind was on a high

as the memories flew away

like dust in a wind filled sky.
