Heartbeat
I was held in silence by the sound of a heartbeat
Until my own beat in time with the other
Her voice caressed my inner senses
awakening thoughts, memories.
I should know the face, the body
that belongs to the heartbeat.
But the memory would not come,
I need to hear her voice again.
The only sound I heard was a bell
chiming, a soft metallic sound
My legs began moving of their own
accord towards a tall tower.
The stained glass window lit from within
reflecting rainbow colours across the land before me
The window opened, her face appeared
My very own Rapunzel, made from silver dancing lights
Was she real, trapped by some spell
waiting for someone to touch to bring her into form.
Could I climb the tower, claim my prize?
Would her heart beat in time with mine?
