Two Hearts

Sumedha, 8th Grade

Two Hearts of both Pleasure and Peace

When fate makes a friendship that fate can not un-do


He sits admiring the view

Lonely he is but what to do?

He dreams of a future lined in gold

While his life in reality was forever sold


Two people sit beside him, entities at most

And they watch the sunrise, over east coast

One blabbers suddenly, speaking of hearts heavy

The other remains silent, eyes are glistening


The first one, yonder tells him that-

“I can give you gold, or even a home”

The ‘he’ first told wonder but then

Is interrupted by the second, who holds a hoe


The second suggest that he may choose

A heart of gold or one to be used?

The boy runs north

The how come forth, stopping his shoes


The blabbering one, steps forward, eyes wicked, face somber

They glint in the moon, then vanish too soon

Back into the neverending night

Both Entities are frozen in fright


The boy they wished to manipulate

All of a sudden’s existence was eliminate

They turn to each other, one angry one calm

Both argued to the nick of dawn


“I want to find hope” the angry one yelled

“Excitement is nope” The cold one told

“He” comes back, laughing at that

Eyes twinkling like stars, though they seem far


“Amusing” he gasps

Makes them take a lap

Angry glares Calm fold

Heart beating fast, but in unison as told


“Two hearts beat fast” he says

“Pleasure and Peace at last

They sink as one

To never be undone
