Best Fragile Poems

Betrayal devastates your naive heart,
severing all ties before love can start.
And slowly, depression entraps your soul
as disparaging lies exact their toll.

Chameleon clouds change to match your mood,
releasing tears that bruised emotions brewed.
And reality somehow seems insane
as your heart breaks from the weight of the pain....

"Life is fragile and temporary. The faces of today quickly become the faces of the past. Sorrow, pain, and anger... it all fades, except love. Love is forever and there after, even when we've fallen to our graves."

Always inside living thoughts 
Once held a vision adoring thee  
Beholding beams though these eyes
Star spangled one look totally breathless  

This heart's calling your name precious
Together uniting  strengths join within power
Making hopes and dreams come alive
Saying onto myself breathtakingly gorgeous 

Adding this...

Please speak to me my lovely friend
With leaves stirred softly by the wind

Under enchanted autumn sky
Where your susurrate sounds drift by.

Sing soft melodies in choir
As leaves glow as if on fire.

I feel your abject dying pain 
When wet and cold from chilling rain.

I remember spring...

While finding  myself in  season’s twilight
I see parts of life crumble amid grime of ruins,
As a  declining mind wanders to  balance
Gratified triumphs and numerous offenses.
That from an era’s DNA,  I search my own history
Sorting out the will of earthly fate,...

How fragile is the heart that loves;
   that stands out naked, unafraid,
      and takes a chance to share it all
with deep emotions spent, displayed.

How fragile is the heart that gives
   above, beyond what is required;

the trees outside
my window
stand like fragile bones
       reaching
moaning&
           groaning
all their leaves
blown away

they stand naked
of beauty
      withered&
  brittle
their broken branches 
cannot be hidden

Love is a flower garden,
An ocean of emotions;
Photographs of memories,
Love is a journey.

There are many kinds of love,
A lover's embrace and kiss;
Love of family and friends,
The love of a pet.

Love of nature and the world,
Mankind and all creatures;
For me, the love of poetry,
And, I...

FRAGILE

I watched my mother
Beautiful, petite, smart
Widowed at 28 with three small children
And people said, "Be extra good, your mother is fragile."

A blonde Jackie Kennedy,
Right down to the pill-box hat
The early 60s when women were pretty, songless birds
Protected in their husbands' split-level cages.

Remarry was the only...

fragile rice papers
cling to a thrashed wicker wall
and silent gazes
kanji-stained blots become buds
some bloom into ureshii

Feeling lost in twilight schemes through glowing lights of starlit dreams,
raw, my thoughts, like frozen streams, soon melt as mist in iced moonbeams,
and you, your eyes, so grey and grim, yet lips that curl with smiling gleams,
gasping heart cries out and screams through growing cracks...

Flickering like candles in the slightest breeze,
Raw with emotion, they are seen so easily worn on sleeves.
Asunder they may break, so
Gentle you must be! Gossamer
Is the flimsy sweater of protection that they wear.
Laugh or look too hard at them, and you are liable to
Embarrass or...

fragile
the tiny egg
laid on a milkweed leaf
devoured by a hungry lizard
 deprived of becoming
a butterfly
Life ends

fragile
the butterfly
sipping from a pink rose
becomes the feast for a sparrow
 Monarch devoured in flight
That's the law of
Nature

fragile
the rose petals
cut for a crystal vase
withered and brittle, they tumble
sweet fragrance lingers...
