More Poems

S-T-O-P
four letters murmured daily 
ignored
when weakness is stronger then strength 
only you will do
and when I try to pull you out
deeper in you dive
setting the rate of my pulse.

will anything change this?
those premature ventricular contractions;
you know, the ones that used to seem cute?
turned out to be just a heart murmurer  
that begs
"please stop"
as it reaches for more.
