Emotions

Some emotions
are claimed by silence
falling between heartbeats
embedded in the flesh
becoming part of you
                              
Some silences
speak louder than words
echoing in your ears
till they drown out
sane voices of your mind   

                

Some voices
whisper through 

your senses
speaking a language
only the heart understands
changing your life
with their meaning

Some hearts
stop beating
betrayal breaks
their rhythm
throwing them
into a vortex of despair
Spinning them
into a world 

without emotions
