 "Fade away."

 The Rhythm

 Your heartbeat croons an elegy,

 a tempo of a tranquil storm,

 where all reason is an enemy,

 and love takes on a simple form.

 Your hands guide me again astray,

 oblivion seeps in smoky rooms,

 and in your embrace I lose the day,

 I whisper, "Please, take me away."

 The wash of music gently sways,

 until the rooms enthralled by charm,

 with each step the beating fades,

 and applause comes down in cascades.

 And still we dance in harmony,

 an unbroken heart in memory,

 where I bury my restless nights,

 in the echoes of your melody.

 And as magic fades into the night,

 gone with it is the restless tune.

 The tempo fades into the background,

 but still I hear your heartbeat's croon.
