Best Splintered Poems

my eyes meet up with yours as we walk
the swans flying form a heart as they flock
we jump holding hands off the edge of the dock
the summer water is a refreshing as can be
swimming together out to the old rock
as the sunset shatters into the...

Love is a many-splintered thing
       It warps; it chips
            It burns ~
         It takes turns...

I splintered into a thousand brittle glass
You brandished a bamboo rag
And with one sweep
Wiped out my remains
To impertinent winds

I awoke feeling completely broken
But you've kept some tiny cuts
And will never return it....

Memories play in my mind
faded black and blue
remembering mistakes
that I cannot undo
picking up the splinters
of this damaged heart
tired of trying to mend
what always falls apart
sinking broken dreams
of my yesterday
I can't hold on to things
that want to fly away
I'm trying to let go
of what's come to...

Lover each parted their mutual ways,
Tears for them cause misty sprays.
Cold grew them both,
Love amid them was now an old growth.

Years of tenderness love a garland weaved,
Away their love, parted hearts now bereaved,
Bereft them parted strained in love ,
Stripped of glow and devoid of heavenly...

Daylight beckons with crooked finger,
turning my back, I watch night retreat
with sadness.
In its cloak I can appear invisible.

This tourniquet, wrapped around my heart,
grows tighter with each passing breath.
Diminishing all chances of recovery.

Dust settles over this persistent frown
safe in the knowledge that no smile,
will ever disturb...

My broken heart 
is finally shattered.
All happiness amiss

Behind this splintered shield
Lies my fragile rose in bloom
Too afraid to let it die
I keep it hidden,
Safe in sadness,
Behind this splintered shield.

The sun and life may hurt it,
 so I'll just keep it here.
Behind this splintered shield...

The looks of these linear tracks 
deemed jagged, rusty, splintered
and tired are railroad ties
none the less bonded to these
old worn tracks...

Many a mile and many a folk have 
traveled down these hardened rails
Every screech and rattle of steel
on steel a memory, a dream of a...

What can i do but endure
This constant world of hurt
Everytime my heart beats 
The cracks get even worse
I thought that i was healing 
But little did i know 
Nothing could prepare me for 
The stinging pain of my heart
Being torn once more...

The Splintered Door

She shed but one cold tear.
The splintered door slammed
shrieking on its twisted hinges-
aftermath of “loving’s” binges.

The tear hung over a life
squandered on hopeful lies.
Death’s whimper crept across her smile.
How had her independence turned servile?

This frozen tear became
a memoried amulet
protecting her form torments
she fled...

There is rhythm in your soul. 
Who splintered your heart
into song?...

What am I to you? Hold on to my heart… 
Take me out of evilness….oooh…. I’m so confused…
You splinter my heart…
You splinter my heart…
Hmmm….hmmm…
Mend my heart…I’m a bit delusional…
You splinter my heart…
You splinter my heart…
You’re my piece of gorgeous art
I can see your eye look...

I’ve written everything I’ve wrote
splintered edges, leaky boat
wrote and wrote and still there’s more
sweat stained, cracked but trusty oar
penciling in and out of shore
I’ve cursed the sun, welcomed the rain
beneath the bridge became the train
challenged the rapids of my mind
unraveled secrets still entwined
within the eddy,...

Oh, Maple tree- planted, nursed as
as a tiny sapling fifty years ago,
you stood as a faithful guardian 
to shelter our front yard;
while we matured, you did so too.

Today, old treasured Maple tree-
as a warrior, you proudly stand,
with your solid trunk deeply gouged 
by fierce tornado...
