Puzzle

Puzzle Lost centre of a picture The photographic character Has been removed Missing piece From in the puzzle Which is the jigsaw Of your life Its convoluted edges Just won’t seem to fit Anywhere else Two pieces of a perfect match But one of the halves Is gone One life with which to live But it’s the one That has been stolen A monumental space Filled with absolutely nothing Its gravity a listless weight Embraces the black hole in its heart Yet remains so very animate To a whirlpools bottomless Drawn to every meaning it can find Spot light which finds no surface To catch its dazzle cast A future which should become But doesn’t have a past The lost keystone Of the fallen arch A room Without a door Missing piece From in the puzzle Which is the jigsaw Of your life Its convoluted edges Just won’t seem to fit Anywhere any more
