Heartbroken

“I know my heart will never be the same But I'm telling myself I'll be okay” Sara Evans My heart no longer beats the same, as I’ve wiped away tainted tints on vain valves. Bleeding out shattered dreams. Colors of fallen needle-shaped leaves, emanate shades of memories, lost along a clamor of fragmented pieces, where linchen-dusted lies confused my flower-patterned spirit, adrift in a pastoral landscape of melancholy, scumbled in roseate oil, calligraphed from the fragrance of forget-me-nots, but sunflowers no longer bloom, although I still see a thread of salvation surfing through the airy breeze that hides behind green grass across untouched, yet butterfly nested water mountains. I chose to be content alone, with me and my heartbroken bliss, over passionate petal-like serenades, that caressed my midnight blues. So, forgive the stars, named with our love, as I bid farewell to half-adorned illustrations of a perfect sunrise, stolen by the past that always punished me, with trust issues, obscured in somber clouds that follow my silhouette, faithfully.

I too am left heartbroken as I see you drifting through the 'pastoral landscape of melancholy' where 'sunflowers do not bloom.' Half way on seeing 'a thread of salvation', I thought there was some hope. But with your farewell to a perfect sunrise, stolen by the past, that punishes you and leaves you helpless with obscured clouds hovering over you, I feel once again sad. Empress I do not know how to respond to your poem.Your imagery is so touching and from within a gush of lugubrious feelings spurt out! GREAT..... GORGEOUS!

Oh heartache. Like a ghost haunting us. This is a beautiful yet tearful write. Losing someone we have loved and still perhaps love, tests us to the core. Your poetry captures that shared experience and is gorgeous for it :))

I can definitely resonate with this piece, when past experiences imprint our faith with stains of darkness and reward us with the unfortunate gift of trust issues..Those pastel sunsets, looking beautiful, still seem incomplete because of the uncertainty & burdens that we carry.. Forever keeping us heart broken in one shape or the other. Sigh, a breathtaking poem and everything here is favourite for me..Really a brilliant take for the contest, dear Ink! And the quote too goes so well~ the opening

Is really WOW "My heart no longer beats the same, as I’ve wiped away tainted tints on vain valves" That's really evocative! "behind green grass across untouched, yet butterfly nested water mountains" So many impeccable lines here.. Gosh! Your descriptions and imageries all weave a poignant tale together.. Still adorned with poetic gorgeousness.. Love this so much!!

Aw dear ink, "colors of fallen needle shaped leaves", " linchen-dusted lies confused my flower patterned spirit ", " calligraphed from the fragrance of forget me nots"... "forgive the stars named with our love"...such an excellence of creativity this is, my friend.. and the ending three lines... in every way this is a gem of a creation from a talented ink.

what a heartbreaking poem, dear Ink. When you're hurting, your heart doesn't beat the same--a profound few words. Your entire poem was filled with beautiful imagery contrasting with the pain of heart ache. Being punished with trust issues--I can relate to that. You're such a lovely person who doesn't deserve pain. Sending you an e-hug in case this is the way you're feeling today. BTW, I liked 'so forgive the stars..." Wishing you a pleasant weekend, Sara

Ahhh..I resonate on so many levels with this breathtaking piece, my beautiful soul sis..it’s like you spoke my soul language here (though you always do!)! The words you use to create the imagery I swim in, in the deepest depths of your mind, heart and soul..feeling you words so endlessly as i read, again and again..I am at a loss again, with the way you weave such brilliance and raw pain..raw beauty..I’m so awestruck and honored to read you, being on this harsh writing journey with you! Always here, my soul sis! <3

Wow such an emotional writing is brimming with heartfelt feelings that flows seemingly from first to last verse. Your imagery and depth of meaningful words is just awe-inspiring. I really loved the quote that seems actually like a part of the poem for its fit and beauty. Your closing lines are just so straightforward to the point and so poignant. I would like to thank you for the comments left on my page it was so uplifting and it touch my heart.

Melancholy seems to be your niche Inky. And you always write these sad relationship poems from what seems like a real place. Hope not. "I chose to be content alone, with me and my heartbroken bliss..." Alas, alas. Btw, is that quote from Sara Evans the country singer?

Ink Empress

Thank you so much , yes i think i wrte emotions alot, this was about yes when i went thru heartbreak, had to think of that for the contest. Right now i am very happy. U are so kind. Also yes its by this singer one of her songs i think. I just discovered her , loved the quote thought goes with poem: always happy to receive ur support

Heartbroken is the emotion that resonates throughout, Ink, and paints forlorn feelings. But the ending stanza aims for the apex and earns a FAVE from me: ---So, forgive the stars, named with our love, as I bid farewell to half-adorned illustrations of a perfect sunrise, stolen by the past that always punished me...

When we lose something that is dear and close to us, we feel a pain that is not like another.. your poem is full of pain and angst.. I can feel the heartbreak in your words.... I hope this is not your present feelings as no one should hurt like this.. i really loved the ending, where you describe your goodbye bidding farewell to a half adorned sunrise... I think Constance will love this one..
