"baboom" poems - Hello Poetry

The light burns and my eyes shrivel up in their socket. They roll back into my head and I sigh. I look around in there. I ogle at my insides. So many colors. Red, pink, blue, white all intertwined in a thick mesh, like an american flag ripped up and sown back up in a strange arrangement. I see the nerve endings shock, a movement ripples through me. I look around with awe and see my heart slowly pumping. BABOOM BABOOM BABOOM BABOOM! I see my stomach churning, burning, dissolving. I hone in and see the enzymes flutter with haste. I zoom out. I look at my brain shrivelled and worn, dying. I really need to rest it. My eyes roll forward and the light fries them some more.

The light burns and my eyes shrivel up in their socket. They roll back into my head and I sigh. I look around in there. I ogle at my insides. So many colors. Red, pink, blue, white all intertwined in a thick mesh, like an american flag ripped up and sown back up in a strange arrangement. I see the nerve endings shock, a movement ripples through me. I look around with awe and see my heart slowly pumping. BABOOM BABOOM BABOOM BABOOM! I see my stomach churning, burning, dissolving. I hone in and see the enzymes flutter with haste. I zoom out. I look at my brain shrivelled and worn, dying. I really need to rest it. My eyes roll forward and the light fries them some more.

Somewhere inside me is a heart beating drums together boom-ba, boom-ba, bang it goes. Anyone can hear it if they listen close. Anyone can hear how broken I am But I'll keep wandering; looking for that heart that beats in tune with mine Baboom-boom, shatter, it might say. Click clack clang, it may go. But to mine I'll hold your heart close because for mine it was meant. Two halves of a lost puzzle. We'll patch each other up with our matching hears.

Boom-ba Boom-ba Bang

Somewhere inside me is a heart beating drums together boom-ba, boom-ba, bang it goes. Anyone can hear it if they listen close. Anyone can hear how broken I am But I'll keep wandering; looking for that heart that beats in tune with mine Baboom-boom, shatter, it might say. Click clack clang, it may go. But to mine I'll hold your heart close because for mine it was meant. Two halves of a lost puzzle. We'll patch each other up with our matching hears.

My mind beats out of time Somewhere along the line My clock just died With every tick of joy And tock of fear My heartstrings gone haywire Intentions unclear Like a car spiraling circles I just couldn’t steer clear And a tick and a tock And baboom and baboom Flying like light waves I transcend to the moon And ooooh I am home. But what is home But another unknown Can I find it in my art? Does it reside in my heart? Is it numbers? Is it time? Is it the wrinkles in my skin? Does it end when all else newly begins? Can I find it in sleep? In that chilling unwind When all is unspoken And but a wrinkle in time? Or does it harvest in fear and the thrill of regret My mind screaming no My chest pounding yes I digress. When you sleep I read novels found in the crevices of your dreams That project to me softly on white sheets with stitched seams What keeps you so frighteningly still? Ah, the hypnosis of sleep. Each night as the rays descend It pulls around the bend And you to pretend to amend to all you have lent But stormy and dark, yet stark-sickly sweet It commands you to weaken and bend to your knees Now, if you please, Tell me why all that I see Is so overpoweringly harder to be How can I take all that is there And bottle it to save for all to share Because each light I gather Has an equally beautiful match That flickers and flares for all eyes to catch Open them wide! Exist while you’re here! And however far you are I will always be near Well I guess I found home, At least for tonight In the lost souls surrounding me. And your arms holding me tight.

Baboom Baboom BABOOM Thats my heart pounding in my chest, these butterflies flapping not giving me any rest. Seeing your perfection all across my day, hoping in time you'll come my way. I see you all the time, in everything that is mine. I feel so scared, I dont want to mess up. Seems im so nervous, I cant help but fess up. Saying things I shouldnt, making weird jokes. I just want you to feel how you make me float. Im happy whenever we're talking, but not, I miss you all the time. I cant seem to ever get you off of my mind What have you done to me? A new type of wizardy? BABOOM BABOOM BABOOM! My heart is racing, faster and faster! My cheeks are red, my mind wont let me go to bed! Just to see a simple hi, is enough to make me fly. Ive never felt so enthralled. Im working myself raw. Worrying, waiting, I dont want to be too much. But oh how I long to just feel your touch. You're what I want, You are what I need. Let us break free, together we can make history. I want to hear your heart, I want to hear that sound. Of how it feels when you're around. My heart is pounding out of my chest, oh I do really need to rest... But wait a midnight question, I really must just mention..... I want to be surrounded, I want to be engulfed. In a blanket of warmth and all of your love. My heart still pounding, with each breath I take. Every thought that leads to you, this can't be fake. But what if it is, will I ever know? I dont think I will ever be able to let this sweet serenity go.
