Best Fracture Poems

Fracture

The night has broken herself,
thinking of you.
Even now, 
no solace
for the fiery pocket of hate
that I hold in my fists
still burning.

I played the piano
side-by-side with her,
Easter Sunday
where no sun broke 
through
the ossuary 
you called our home.

She slumped upon my lap
suddenly,
like a grief poisoned,
and 
her eyes...

I've seen beautiful before.
I've seen you on the inside a time or two,
a nice place to live that I guess no one can afford.
  
Today I see this little world from a different light..
(Cliche, I know)
maybe it is just an angle that differs?
Or maybe...

Damn these days of separation,
we both react out of desperation.

Where simple logic is thrown aside,
and dog eat dog reeks of self pride.

Trying to survive with no obligations,
loosing my mind knowing my past fixations.

My life had purpose my life had definition,
both of you my responsibility despite...

Liken to a rift that rips the landscape from under our feet.

Similar to isms or schisms separating the collective,

literally destroying the bond and togetherness that keeps the family as one.

The same unity which should bounds us by blood,

which should give us a sense of being;...

you & i are animals
spawned from the
mud & flailing at 
one another with 
blades made of 
flint & with fists 
hard bloody 
knuckles all 
calloused from 
fight after fight 
after fight---for 
food, for water, for 
shelter, for women,
for men, for money, 
for kin, for future,...

Life is but a fracture in time
A shiver of a grain of sand
Yet we look at it, as gods
Even though we are not gods
Imbecilic, that is what we are
And truly lost
There is no more grace in our existence
Merely an unknown
Was there ever true meaning, it...

Circler and sharp
Around and jagged
Disjoined in thought
Unfocused in point
Spinning out of control
Broken filaments of twine
Laced locked in gears
It is near the end of time
Nails of glass in iron stone
Refracts the light
Broken; flying fragments of night.
Cycles down into a spin
Over and over again
Out of control
A creation...

You’re taking a stroll (more like speed walking) down the street, 
And if you’re anything like me, 
You’ll most likely trip on thin air 
And bam, you’ve fractured your leg 
(No, I’n not an anorexic with osteoporosis)

As it is with accidents, so it is with...

we are fractured
in a way that seems
irredeemable.

there's no super glue
to mend
a broken relationship.

no splint, no cast, no medication
to fuse us back together
as we once were.

a fragile china cup
dropped from a great height
and shattering into

a million tiny pieces.
an old shelf,
so weighed down by years of

new information...

I tried to reach out, blink in silence and say my words, but there is a lost syllable and a forgiven diction. I buried my art, my passion. 

I tried to tear my skin apart, carve in silence and swim in the blood, but there...

I feared for The Soon Traveling Fire,
When I saw who was going to drive:
Jack, who did thrice of men's lives deprive,
He himself lucky to be alive;

Now, with a left leg fracture does strive 
And Lord God knows that's no way to thrive

Kept I trembling for...

At one with life 
we watched ourselves unfold.
Seeds of thought 
that grew a time between us.
Creating space in which 
to watch our children grow
Floating on the sea 
that is our soul.  
Stirred into 
a separation of life 
We have become 
lost hinterland voices, 
A...

Ceaseless painful twists and turns,
Dying marrow aches and burns;
Suffer tougher case of bones
Wasting credits in help phones,
Doctors handling of ailment,
Tablets, capsules of treatment,
Patients dumping ornaments,
Seeking Foreign Liniments,
Osteopathy from movements,
Guessing patient's improvements...

Trouble wilder than Fracture,
Lessened focus on structure;
Deeply bothered Osteopath 
Orthopaedic walks soft path;
Body trusted to...
