Voice Of My Heart

By Jafreena Sadique

When the whole world sleeps

A tiny voice speaks

Are you asleep my little one?

In the land of ponies and dragons

With the thumbing so loud

Making one aware that you are alive

The lub-dub in a pace

You understand

But in fright or pleasure

You race like a horse

To win the battle of love

Neither did I understand

Your pace

Nor did I get to know you well

For you were with me

Beating all the while

To keep me alive and running

Size of a fist is what anatomists say

When you are dissected

You speak a language of love

But the four rooms are not enough

For the love you store for the world,

Is more than these walls could accommodate

Pumping blood is your job is what the doctors say

But you are more than that

For you make the world seem better

Making cheeks blush red

With the lovely words you utter

Melting others in letters you mutter

You proved that size doesn’t matter

For a small one like you

Is as important to keep me breathing and alive

Are you the maiden who weaves those words?

The lub-dub that is a lullaby

As I wander looking lost

You bring me close and make sure that I am fine

Are you the angel who brought me back?

For you are the embodiment of love

The love I feel in my little chamber

Is more that I can express

Who are you?

I wonder

When can I meet you?

To say that all the emotions I have felt

All the loud lub-dubs

All the furious lub-dubs

All the soft lub-dubs

You enlightened me

You showed me a path

A path paved of gold

You guided me...
