All the Pieces

ALL THE PIECES

Fragments and crumbs of life, all the pieces… That fateful 1990, I left pieces of my heart behind Without a kiss, I fearlessly rushed to the plane Full of dreams and promises… My heart fragmented, nonetheless, I did not look back As the plane ascends with its mighty roar so as my dreams I somehow manage to chat with my brain Into the clouds of uncertainties. The crumbs, the fragments, all the pieces of my heart Were scattered, irretrievable for long agonizing years. I wish I would have known then what I knew now, I should not have left, I should have hold you tight all day all night Forever till eternity. All the pieces, fragments and crumbs of my life I vacuumed them piece by piece back into my heart I recycled them into A spectacular piece of artwork My love, my poetry.

I love how you made your poem be a love poem and how one event was the onset of the fragments you discuss here. and what a great way you resolved it by putting it into artwork, your poetry. Congrats on your win.
