Poem


"The Wind-Up Man, The Patch-Work Girl and The Remaining Time"



What do you do when your heart breaks into a million pieces?
You turn into metal, what’s left of your heart freezes.


What do you do when your world ceases?
You lock the shards of your flimsy trust behind iron walls, you escape battles, Death teases.


What do you do when your bird is caged and it’s will to live rattles, then is smothered by vile whispers and flying monkey cold screaming breezes?
You look for the key that the past swallowed, it’s fallen between the cracks of your mind’s barbed wire nettles and torpid grey hollows, the yard’s a war zone, there it remains buried in the void that is treeless, dead temporoparietal.


What do you do when your heart shatters and Life’s colour drains before your windows, invisible, all that ever mattered?
You look in the mirrors for ways out of the maze puzzle, walking with all the other ghosts there who are lost, shattered, battered and muzzled.


What do you do when you Return to Oz?
You look for the good grace not to draw blood. 


What do you do when you are free?
You return to the Ones who loved you once, you just "BE".


What do you do when you look for you?
You open your heart, you learn to be TRUE. 




(Lovejoy-Burton/April 2018)
For gvlm/scm

"This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."


"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only LIGHT can do that."


"There is no LOVE without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without LOVE".
