Best Shatter Poems

Every day a letter came,
I love you, I love you, I love you so.
One day a letter came,
Forgive me, I have to go.
The reason?
I still don’t know....

“A fight of voice exceeds one of fists.”

Bludgeoned, broken, cast away,
Time devours, your name decay,
Ascend beyond the gilded throne,
Unsung, unrested, still overthrown.
 
Happy Women's History Month!...

Tic Toc 
Tell tale signs
Dead angels counting time
The ballerina dancing inside
Her snow flake orb of light
Childhood dreams
Dancing in circles while screaming
Shatter me
Fragile notes upon the strings of life
Fragile hopes shattered on shores remote
Inside dead dreams does a childhood float

Take me to the mountain tops
Let me...

The chase for laurels, our once fevered run
Its heady tune of love and vanity
Shattering azure skies to catch the sun
Lurid bonfires of our humanity

Under the cobalt canopy, I find
Waning, my drive to be the fastest horse
Plaques on the wall have bought no peace of mind
A...

Oh the lights are burning low.
Silence plays in the corner of the room.
Guess it won’t be long before my voice is completely lost to you.
	Read my name in lights because really it’s all that’s left;
When the last bulb burns only then will my echo be...

There will be a day when your ego shell breaks
and you will simultaneously endure so much
pressure it creates pain and a release so intense
it helps you regain your faith. 
Your energy will be so in sync with the Universe

Unbelievable words devoted soul
Determine is out of control
Monster trucks running the land
Colors confront your eyes
Dirt does nothing but sin
Mirrors keep shattery
My skin feels cold
My mind playing chest
Vibration warmest my blood
Temptation pushes the air
Devoted soul, set yourself free...

shatter the shell and raise the swell
the crispness and swiftness of a  southeaster fell
battered blue lips craving summers breast
the raspberry round,the milk,the nest

an inner thigh by which to sigh
the ears for tongues in which to lie
beneath,between,we two are spun
the speedqueen and the coin
together
one....

Scorching through the night like a dead, damned flame;
singing wildland hymns to the oncoming rain.
Watching stars fall into her eyes and her falling, too;
everything is destined to end like this.
When she howls, I can hear my eardrums shatter;
the depth of her is terrifying.
I want her...

Shatter


Scarlet petals they fall
With the iron tracts they leave
Busted on the tears of snow
Coverlet for our memory 

Who else is there to blame
For the silence in the night
The bottle empty of its whisky
Rushes headlong to the wall

But sleepless rests within these trembling hands
To die one...

in the valley of victims...with their lips sewn shut
blind to beauty and deaf to love
beat into submission like mindless soul slaves
in the fog of their own fury they keep digging up their graves
like psychopathic puppets with artificial smiles
they do their masters madness on wretched endless...
