Notes About The Poem

 

A battered heart, full of wounds and tares heavy with tears.

A Heavy Heart Sinks Deep Into The Sea

My battered razor cut tormented heart 
So tender so heavy and full of tears      
My heart sunk into the consuming unforgiving fathoms
Of the darkest deepest coldest sea
The waves never washed the tears away
The crimson blood bled and dispersed diluted
Eventually vanishing into obscurity
The pincushion remains of my tender heart
Just festered and decayed
Under layers and layers of silt
Never missed unloved, out of sight
And out of reach.

Dear peter, this is so powerful and so well written in such a creative manner: so soul hitting and eloquent how you’ve expressed here. I especially love the way youv written “ My heart sunk into the consuming unforgiving fathoms Of the darkest deepest coldest sea“ that speaks volumes really! Unforgiving fathoms, when heart sinks there, can be overwhelming! A fave this is for me! Loved every line in this.

Hurts are meant to be felt. Where happiness lays, love visit so pain comes along. Cheers Peter.
