"lubdub" poems - Hello Poetry

how horrifying it must be, if i ever lock you in the chambers of my wretched heart. you might expect the room to be crimson, but it will be ignited by warped blue pipes. lubdub lubdub as they threaten to burst and drown you in the colours of the skies. i imagine the skin by your lips loosen thread by thread before your jaws fall to the ground. how funny it will be when you can't speak after you find out the liquid that should taste salty like deep blue seas, or sweet like blueberries, is bitter like rusty metal knives. you never knew the taste of my blood on your skin, but now you will. 12:00a.m.: chimes of the clock. the walls heal and the blue liquid runs for the drains. everything will be back to normal. you must be confused how the room looks untouched and smell freshly built of bitter paint; well, thank this stubborn heart that heals itself every time it breaks. now count my heartbeats with your trembling fingers, will you? 12:01a.m.: the walls will constrict. this time the ceilings crumble and you shall scream as jagged pieces of debris hit. please remind yourself that those were ounces of my heart. if you look up the hole, you will see a crescent indent on my lungs, as it exhales dying stars. a sharp intake of breath and the nights skies will tumble into what seemed to be a black hole. darkness. you won't be able to see. you can't count my heartbeats anymore. but guess what, it's still beating. 3:30a.m.: blood-thirsty rats. lubdub lubdub. footsteps on the roof. lubdub lubdub; it echoes in the room. the walls start closing in. oh darling, have you ever heard of heart-wrenching stories? blue pipes will grow mouths and voices shall grow limbs. screams, cries, disapproval resonating in your little head. that's what happens in this living chamber; each pump brings disastrous outcome. i'm afraid you might go crazy, from what only goes on in this trifling portion of my soul. now let me tell you something no one knows- my heart never stops; and my dear, i'm considering to let you in.

do you want my heart?

Wearily reclines the midnight moon Stars dreamily wait to fade The nightjars somewhere sleepily croon My eyes slumber doesn’t invade. I hear my bloodstream in the canals of vein The lubdub of my doughnut from deep Echoes of footsteps, long forgotten pain, My eyes can’t trace a wink of sleep. The night ages the moon seeks west Stars yearn an end to their trek Inside my head they still abhor rest Run random my thoughts without break.

Night Trek

Wearily reclines the midnight moon Stars dreamily wait to fade The nightjars somewhere sleepily croon My eyes slumber doesn’t invade. I hear my bloodstream in the canals of vein The lubdub of my doughnut from deep Echoes of footsteps, long forgotten pain, My eyes can’t trace a wink of sleep. The night ages the moon seeks west Stars yearn an end to their trek Inside my head they still abhor rest Run random my thoughts without break.

the silence that followed after we kissed was just as loud as the beating in my chest; i didnt know a heart could beat this loud
