Untitled

My broken words lie in tatters
discarding all that matters,

echoing the splintering sounds,
of this heart when it shatters.


Im floating down the sewers,
lynched by unknown skewers,

tossed and flung away,
into the bowels of today.


Still I refuse to beat my retreat,
despite the sting of the icy sleet,

and through the slicing rain,
I will sing a hopeful refrain,

picking myself up to stand again...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

A very hopeful poem..Its nice to believe in sunshine after the rain and it will come..it always do and when it comes after the rain..one can reach the rainbow..Like our life story or day story when it gets sour..sour its the worst it can get than better days follow.I love the optomistic msg even if the poem starts with a sad feeling..Lovely sad poem.
