Broken I
Broken is the mechanical clock
Broken is the bloody heart
Broken is the memories of youth
Broken is the will
Broken as the world turns and spills
Broken is the passion!
Thoughts Fleeting to space
with nothing to film, to remember
Broken is the heart
watch the gears spill!
I tried to repair it with mechanical parts
feeling ill of will
I have destroyed eons of time wanting to kill
I have thrown away all the memories
watching them slide down
the windowsill...
I have undermined the heads of state
I have felt broken in my will
I have collected the passions
taken the little pill from a
fractured fragile little jar
Ruby hue n tone, a dream dreamt alone!
My dreams are barren
My feet feel fractured
My hands fraid
MY vision delayed
Feeling lost as my love
The killing of a lone dove
You have broken my soul
I see all my skeletal remains:
“will you repair it with mechanical parts,
will you set the clock, wind the crown, watch it pass
into the time, sublime, drifting through
my memories”?
Broken is the machine
Broken at the heart
Broken are my memories
Broken in my soul, cold
Broken as the world turns & burns
Broken are my passions!
Thoughts running out of space
with nothing to see, no memory
Broken is the everything
watch the wires turn
Can you repair what is damaged?
Can you fix me?
I think not…..
