Premium Member Shard and Silk
Shard and silk
take your turn
enter into the hue...
of a spinning urn.

It's ok to weep.
To make a pond of salt.
For when love buckles
under ice blown mountains
it may not be your fault.

Shard and silk.
write your love song in silence.
Stoke the mental cord.
Back pedal into time
Far beyond when...

Living Shard
Blue men talking, standing askance.
Boasting through insecurity's dance.
Hands on their hips, changing lead. 
Reacting on cue, shifting need.
Negotiating through, 
judgment with a glance.
Women walking, asking what's new.
Gossip, the only bile they spew.
Hand flicks hair, waiting their turn.
No care found, 
in conversational queue.
Vapid exultations,
few words ringing...

Shard
I am a shard,
Remnant of a broken family portrait.
Jagged and rough,
But oddly complete


I am a shard,
Shattered platter at supper.
Lamb is the main course,
A sacrificial offering to mend what was


I am a shard,
No longer complete.
My jagged edges
Sever all mutual emotion


I am a shard, 
Translucent and brittle.
My...

Shard
Waited for a perfect moonbeam
To filter through the night
Shimmering silver like a dream
To catch as if starlight....

Premium Member Within the shard of dreams, we wander, with the wing of time
Within the shard of dreams, we wander, with the wing of time,
Penetrated by the mystery and alchemy of existence,
The glitter of a lone star pierces through the darkness,
For us both, steering us through a clear sky.
Our resolve lies in manipulating with our hands the immaterial...

Shard
Packing up
with nowhere to go.
Feeling out of control.
Realizing everyone around me
had me as their piece on a board.
Now that I know
what do I do with that?
Feeling in control,
still with no place to go.
Can't move, I'm stuck to the floor....

Shattered Glass Dipped In Red: Four Shards; Fourth Shard
Fourth Shard
I need to clean
Who’s gonna clean?
What do I do?
I can not move 
I’m tired
I need to rest
Five minutes
Please
I’m tired
I need to rest
Please be quiet 
I’m trying to rest 
Shhhhh
Just five minutes 
I’ll clean in five minutes
I need rest
Rest
Mindwipe
My childhood was tainted in a single...

Shattered Glass Dipped In Red: Four Shards; Third Shard
Third Shard
But black
I could clearly see where the past dried
And the new began 
I need to clean this dried blood
Before more comes
Damage control
Before I could even
I collapse
I’ve lost too much
I can’t move
What’s happening ?
What do I do ?
I need to clean
“There’s nothing left.”
With the strength...

Shattered Glass Dipped In Red: Four Shards; First Shard
	First Shard
My childhood was tainted in a single moment
In an instant 
It happened so fast 
And unable to go back 
Turn back time 
To change that moment
To continue the purity 
For the purity to last all through my childhood
Giving it no room for flaws
Maybe then...

Shattered Glass Dipped In Red: Four Shards; Second Shard
Second Shard
Shattered glass dipped in red
I forget about the glass
And begin to clean the blood
And that stings too
Causing more 
And more
And more
It won’t stop
First the time of the past
Then shattered glass
Then blood
Then shattered glass dipped in red
And more blood
When will it stop?
I don’t know what...
