heartbreak

They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.

A Question
I once crossed path with none but Sphinx, Doing the job that one might think, Offering a question to the passerby, Punishing all who dare defy.

La Danse d’une Fumée de Cigarette. Content Warning.
An ode to days long gone… In those long, humid summer nights, that I was so sure would last… Just our two souls, heads and bodies buzzing with wine,

Somedays
Somedays, when I'm lazy, when I'm free, and when there's not a better place to be, I lie on bed, with eyes closed, and the hundreds of memories unfold.

An Imperfect Journey
A cold sea of tears in the eyes, There is a cold ash of kindness in the heart that never dies. I had settled the dream of this beautiful world in my eyes, never letting the dark shadow of deceit rise. A life of fleeting moments, Where tears never appear, A silent Pain within, that no one can hear. This crying without tears is a strange kind of pain, That lasts for centuries, with no end, no gain. These relationships, friendships, and brotherhood, are left unfulfilled, Where my character failed, my heart stood chilled. Those gems now lost, to the infinite dark Abyss, Which will never return, a moment I'll forever miss. Never to return; without them, life is a curse, A pain that grows deeper as I continue to immerse. Those happy moments are now floating in the memories with endless pain, Their joy was now lost, never to return again. I will carry this imperfection till I lie in the grave, lost memories, incomplete desires, and dreams left in the cave. Now the words are lost, and the pages are still, A silence so deep, no voice can fulfill.

Bones of Strength, Flesh of Sacrifice
You can offer your flesh, your time, your care, Yet be called selfish for bones you won’t share. Flesh may mend, and energy renew,

The Ramblings Of A Narcissistic Abuse Survivor
The beginning is incredibly exciting, passionate; all roses and honey, A connection of extremes, a meeting of souls, I was seen, heard, validated and loved — so I was made to believe.

Cobwebs in the Corner
I tell everyone who asks ”I’m fine” but there is a room full of unopened boxes and dusty shelves full of unread books.

"Whispers of an Unlived Life"
Born in the shadow of icy walls, Where silence thundered through empty halls. The air was sharp with words unsaid, And fear wove tightly the life she led.

Wither and Fade
Don’t give me things that wither and fade Give me the grass that has strong blades Give me a song that draws me hither Don’t dither and doubt

washing machine repair
He comes home a crewless ship, beached on wood planks and rocks, boots dragging seaweed on sandy carpet. No shoes in the home! but it’s too late; waves have engulfed the ship; it is swaying and virtually gone back

A Symphony of Love
A Symphony of Love Under roses' bloom and moonlit skies, love whispers softly, a melody only the heart can truly recognize. It’s not confined to fleeting romance or grand gestures but finds its strength in the bonds we nurture every day. A friend’s embrace after a trying moment, the laughter shared over simple joys, or the quiet comfort of knowing someone’s presence lights your world.

Succinct
It started with a smile Sealed with a wink Oh, to be succinct How do you put all your love into one day When it’s as broad as a rainbow
