Beats of Love

Hear the loud sound
of joy pulsed through red
feel the immersed heat
that comforts you in bed
extension of soul
for life is for the bold
behold for it beats
to the music of you.

    This Deserves The Gold Trophy

    Very good verse and the trophy belongs to this. Your word usage is unique and that makes your style one of a kind. I hope you have a book, and if not you should be working on one. Keep writing and I'll keep reading.

    This is very powerful. Life we often take for granted, so it's nice to see someone bring this up. As you said,

    for life is for the bold
    behold for it beats
    to the music of you.

    I could not have said it any better.

    I love the layers of function of your heart imagery. This is really beautiful and compelling. Also, i think the scattered rhyme leaves a freedom for movement and interpretation that can be more difficult to achieve with a tighter structure. Really well done. And I love the message!

    this is very lyrical, you make your opinions known esp about the bold, and it feels like you've lived and are celebrating that and the people who have lived it with you. maybe i"m reading too much into this, but that is what I thought.

    this is a beautiful take on the prompt... very moving, something raw and primal about it, but it does not detract from the loveliness...

    those first two lines captured my interest and held me captive from the get go...
