There are drums in the distant gray sky,
And they drum to the beat of the wind,
And my heart follows closely in time,
To the sound bringing chills to my skin.

And the hooves of the deer echo back,
As they’re racing across the long field,
With the lightning the sky seems to crack,
From the bolt that great Jupiter wields.

And the storm brings destruction in rain,
And the oak trees bend down to the floor,
And the ones who do not bow in pain,
Are the ones who are surely no more.

drum beats to murmur,
a lull in nightlong rain rage;
wind’s bugle again!

Beat that drum
Beat it so loud
That drum of vengeance
Made out of the skin of man
Who will dance to her beats
The dance of nemesis
Who shall dance next
To the talking drum of kamar ?

Decked up elephants,
Sea of hands mark time for drums,
Splendour well defined!

thump thump thump th-th-th-thump
Is my heart pounding,
or is that the waves of the beat
flooding from you across the room to me?

I have never really appreciated
the time keepers
until this very moment
when our eyes met.

You looked up at me,
swaying along to the beat
your hair flicking across your face
Obviously in the way.

Just a hint of a smile,
I don't even know you
and you made me feel
like my stomach was doing flips and hurdles.

After the beat was done,
you wordlessly sat a few seats away
And sheepishly grinned
Running your fingers through your hair

I don't even know you
but somehow
you make my heart feel like
it was dancing to your beat.
Oh that brown hair and brown eyes

front line; left behind
a steady battle cry crawls
into the death drum

Tick tock, boom boom,
Tick tock, boom boom,
Tick tock, boom boom,
Tick tock.

Like a drum time beats on.
If you like it let me know.
