Unzip my Heart Could someone come and unzip my heart And repair the many broken parts The wheels that are no longer turning Are missing the flame that's stopped burning. I had a love that became sorrow Once I knew our love had no morrow My love still lingers, sad tears I weep For the dream that’d render life complete. Life danced along in harmonic bliss I gave him my heart, he gave me his It was passionate, fascination We’d judged it would last life’s duration. Came the day the liaison crumbled. Rainbows tumbled and heaven rumbled Something was wrong that neither could fix And love flew off in a veil of mist. So please do come along if you can A heart restorer, woman or man Maybe one day I’ll find my true love When my heart’s mended and zipped back up. 26th January 2021 ALL YOURS (Feb 1) Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Brian Strand This is a fictional poem inspired by the picture above. *

Quite an original take on the subject of lost love. So many end up alone. Pity. ~~.

Such wonderful phrasing -- 'rainbows tumbled and heaven rumbled' being just one of many examples, Belle. So well-crafted... Now, I once knew an orchestra conductor named Dr. Zipper. (You can't make this stuff up). He was from Austria. Should I send him over?! lol. Cheers, Gershon

Beryl Edmonds

Send him over Gershon, just the man I’m looking for... Thank you, that’s given me a laugh. All the best ~ Belle (Thank you for the smile too Mystic.)
