crashing hearts on broken dreams

where lies become the truth

memories drip melancholy

when thoughts return of you

~

reality, what you make it

the past, a world away

postpone tomorrows conflicts

live your life fully, today

~

tears crash like waves, unyielding

fear drives like pouring rain

emotions raised for shielding

the lies creating pain

~

salvation, an umbrella

protecting all that falls

the fragile gladiolas

stain, the stony garden wall

~

the shield that guards the heart

fractured and sharply falls away

leaving just a tiny part

of the broken and decayed

~

collect the shards remaining

bury safely in the ground

the tenderness containing

when loves season comes around

surreal poetry
