Best Shatters Poems

Death has come this year; still it comes, ever creeping.
It comes for others in my life and in my family.
To one who wielded great control, it came as she lay sleeping.
All power gone, she did succumb to that grim reaper’s call.
It comes for others now....

In my emptiness there is a silence     
that shatters my thoughts into fragments.                            ...

I lie trying to read, but my heart maunders	
as the rain taps at my red eyes window pane.	
The loneliness niggles as my mind ponders.	
My spirit empty as the hourglass shatters.		
God give me silence from the weight grip of pain.	
Bleakness devouring days lying in tatters;		
music of...

Words as empty as the hourglass shatters
Lay scattered across their bedroom floor
Hearts drained of anything that matters
Crumbled as fine as particles of sand
Promises gone forevermore
Left no reason for either to demand
They pursue counseling if they dare
No one cared enough to try anymore
Time left nothing for...

When will she ever learn? 
That mending a broken glass
Much like a broken soul
Then give it back to the breaker
Will only ever result in the same situation 
Haven't years of sitting in a physics class ever taught her anything? 
An experiment done in same unchanged...

The soul shatters upon death. Sentience fractures into a million variables that swirl chaotically into piercing eyes that melt into the color sadness, spinning into galaxies that shrink to the size of ants and you twirl in a blender of being for eternities until finally,...

Poetry speaks the language of the soul,
meant to be interpreted by the heart.
And that connection can make you feel whole
or emotionally tear you apart.

Poetry adds an accent of wonder;
transferring feelings to pen and paper.
And as convictions are torn asunder,
reality dissipates like vapor.

Poetry shares your darkest...

not emotional but got peace
no more anger gotta release
no ignorance but wisdom
still a king no kingdom
sernity without passion
keep smiling keep laughing
want harmony but chaos reins
mind scared by life stains
cant have life without death
all temporary just a test
wonderful the mind of a child is
may be grown...

My oldest son,
one of the few Earth-mattering
Earth-shattering
Black lives
I was made to protect
to guide
by eco-righteous WinWin acts 
and co-passioning words,

Felt, and therefore was, disempowered,
worthless,
like helpless prey among predators
who listen to the same rap,
same urban Earth writes,
same multicultural performances,
When a gun was dispassionately pointed at his head.

Empty As the Hourglass Shatters



The sand is slowly passing through...

	the seconds, minutes, hours of time.

		Now precious grains show less to view,

			for time is scarce and slowing down

				to sandy streams that flow sometime...

begin, then stop, resume, shutdown.

	No chance to flip for a new start,

		for the last...

hand in hand the news sink in
as their world collapses and scatters
the veil over their head ever so thin
they parade largo in a daze
hollow eyes clouded by spatters
treasuring however many days
loud incessant echoing ring of chime 
undying love to the soul all that matters
across the...

for I am left empty as the 
hourglass shatters,
my heart never matters- 
the rain pitter-patters.

I cease to exist in the
timepiece of yesterday’s
grains. 
draining the days away, 
forever lost in lonely 
memories. 

I stacked sandbags against
the river of your anguish, 
and the dam breaks with
perpetual insignificance....

I have gone inner today-  I have fallen deep
so dark and deep to escape the  h o u r g l a s s  of time-
Sun kisses me and wraps me in warmth that I weep,
the sand of life is ticking away-...

In the secret whispers of the night, I watch how the world shatters into a galaxy of stars,
Each spark is an untold story, a broken dream, a silent sigh of the cosmos.
Traveling through the darkness, we dance under suns reborn from hesitant light,
Each ray is...

I'd swap time again and again
                                  just to break your fall
