Hearts like ours and Fire in the eyes

Aching and spinning in contusion divide

Brain is begining to contort and surprise

Alas I cry, for what have I done!

Breaking the sound with unusual drum

Tapping and tense concrete innocence

Pushing and pulling the heart and the mind

Where oh where do my convictions lie

In a place long ago free of ill will

Perhaps left alone

Like a fool on the hill

Nothing is perfect in longing for love

We struggle for meaning with help from above

There are so many to stand between and "drum" - Great 150th write. Congratulations on reaching this milestone! I tend to over think. Chillin' lets the subconscience work out the conflicts. This is a lot of poem. :D
