Heart Beats
By A. X.


They called her
A circumspect .
Little prude- i
At heart
She was Romance
And Folly combined
But the people
OF Earth -.
Know not the worth
Or witchery--
Of each others dreams,
The maid demure
In vivacious girlhood--
Met her Prince Charming
In a May-blooming wood
Up the green aisle
Where budding trees met
To the marriage altar
His captive was led.
But soon tickle Romance
Became weary and wan
Her heart grew sick
And love grew tired.
Each wandered far
From the trysting place
Sans storms
Sans quarrels-
Sans public disgrace.
An artist was she
In her fancy
Painting rough blacksmith$
And Madonnas fair
On floating clouds
And in the air
Till all the world
Lay at her feet
With homage
And wealth.
And praise.
From this pale dawn
OF a pink career
She leaped to footlights
In characters queer
And each time she entered
Upon the stage
The house went wild,
Threw flowers and kisses.
And in the role
OF vampire bold
She stormed the world
In her movie scenes.
Women envied
And men desired
By whims and passions
She was inspired
To act
The Flame to Emotions
And flare her name
From Broadway east
To the breakers
OF Frisco's west.
Whatever she tried
Was a brilliant success.
Demure is she?
All, no.
But against the background
Of reality
Pleasures are gross
And fall inert
On her mind and heart
OF fantasy.
(S;ns of the flesh
Are such puny things)
And no one may talk
For nobody knows
Where she dissipates
And INDUCES.
Though they call her tame
Her Creator knows
That her spirit scars
And she's tameless.
