heart broken.

[adamantseal]

sometimes pain is the lesson

sharp teeth in fragile skin

a whispering

remember me?

the one who burns?

right down to the bones

I have already made soap with

the ashes of her

my daughter self so shiny

in the dew of spring

hands like pink tulips

clasped across her breast

I am the urn of her joy

bronze armor braced

against the jaws of night

empty and

aching

“You wish to have proof of A world beyond this one? See how the old leaves fall and Makes room for the new. A new day, a new night, a new garden, Even a new trap to fall into. A new thought in each breath. Newness is a wonder. It surely is a treasure. Did you ever wonder Where the new comes from? Where the old disappear to? The world is a flowing stream, It looks enclosed and unchanging, But the old flows away and The new arrives.”

— Rumi

Splice

I find hollow screams of the sea caught inside their shells, the sandy shore awakened, pale and white to the dying, fighting light of the twilight sun that sinks, splits the world into two tearing circles. stars that prick pins and needles into my skin. and, time that slinks into unending grief, that comes  wave after trembling wave. that never lets me forget, a piece is missing from inside me since you left.

I held your hand, as a narrative

To our fairytale love, I thought

Alas, we turned out to be

A free verse, poorly written

Mundane in spirits, scribbled

As a doodle on the back

Of a notepad, errors of the

Manner, lacking crisp grammar

We turned out to be the

Leisure of a nocturnal poet...............

*you could be my muse or words misused*
