Impulse

A heartbeat beats a steady pulse.

Your sword gleams with power- your power-

over the powerless.

May you know in that instance 

of a heart that sounds of fear.

A heart that calls back tragedies

still rumbling fathoms deep

Below the earth

On top of which has walked every sane man,

insane man dropped from heights, unfathomable.

Shall I look desperately into the depths of your hideous eyes in search of innocence, regret?

You are, as I am,

drowning in a sea of madness.

I hear the impulse of a heartbeat

pulse within me,

within you.
