The Romantic

Your heart and bollocks beat in time,
The same hypnotic, mindless chant,
The throbbing bass, insistent drum,
The gasping, gulping, breathless pant.

The purple-headed synthesiser
And same pulsating beat-based tune;
Throbbing, sobbing, needy grasping,
Sweaty diction, jaded swoon.

Snoring, played-out, flaccid wisdom,
Ticking over, gentle humming,
Whirring body motor stalling;
Fade-out, feedback, silence coming.

Waking moment dizzy numbness,
Red bullet-pointed rousing stare,
Overheating and imploding,
Orchestral saxophone fanfare.
