Broken Heart

Your razor blade words,
Have slit the vein of our love,
An eternal wound.

Footprints in my heart

You came into my life without a sound, with out a word.
I was speechless 
Butterfly speeding around, you gave me footprints in my heart.
You stepped in , never asked a word, you spoke, never thre out a hand to that on-broken heart, that you left foot-prints all n over.
You came into my life with a broken heart, you was sinking and you was pulling both hearts withbwith both foot prints ..
You gave me foot prints all over my heart and never cared enough to let go, and save me !!!
Why ?? I'll never know or understand why ?? You came into my life and lifted foot prints all over mybheart.

BANG
                     Shabang
                 Down the can

         West winds blow away
   Thought you were here to stay
      Just like that gone anyway

Premium Member Pain Of Broken Heart


The joy of fervent freedom suffuses my sky,
enraptured heart’s allured songbird soars high,
glides in the spring-rippled amorous air,
carries your fleeting jasmine flair.

No one sings the song of lonesome yearning, 
for the thunder storm of strife surges in
from the illusive horizon receding to obscurity,
the wrench of desertion crushes my ecstasy.

The crippled bird folds the wings curled,
like the withered flower painfully unfurled. 
Mangled mind endures the pangs of isolation 
in the ruined nest made of twigs of emotion.

The wilted petals dislodge from the floral fold 
as the snow storm blows winds of desertion cold. 
The devout flower finds the dreams in debris, 
in the rustle of leaves its sigh subsides weary. 

Radiance of the spent sun sets with a lonely creep,
an impaled bird loses its course in blue deep
of the far away sky not yet flown.
The pain of broken heart feels like black cat moan.

(Inspired by Glenn Hudges' song Black Cat Moan)

my broken heart -the silence is heavy

I Am Sadness


I am Sadness…
Buried deep within quiet hearts,
Where even light dares not stay.

Smiles are fragile masks,
Hiding truths left unspoken,
Fading into silence.

They bury my whispers in silence,
Pretending I never exist—
Yet I linger in shadows.

And when I rise…
Even silence trembles,
Powerless to resist. ??


The Broken

What happens to a broken heart
that expose itself to thee?
Is it locked within a cage?
Or freed by a future thee?
With the hope to be loved and free
flying above the lands and sea.
Imagine!
With wounds repaired
And a spirit wide
No more to ache
No more to hide
It soars amongst the clouds & tides
The journey dreamt
That was once denied
It finally finds.
Its dream alive.

The naïve life possessed by the power of craving, 
turns into an inanimate object, utterly inert. 
The buoyant being, unsuspecting and unblemished,  
captured by the vicious clutch of cunning yearning,   
rolls in remorse like the fallen gems of longing garland, 
the fragile string of innocence ruefully ruptured. 

The sordid senses sheathed by spiteful insolence
don’t for a moment repent the presence 
in the fleeting mind the obstinate obsession 
of nurturing the ephemeral debased desire 
in the swathing shades of garish grey, 
decimating the radiance of the sapphire spirit 
of its credulous possession disowned.

For the body and mind ravaged 
by the vile strike of Black Excalibur of severance
life is no longer a charismatic concept. 
The piteous ruins of the broken heart pile up in futility 
at the threshold of despair in the debris of disdain. 

Free from the captivity of depraved love, 
the agonized heart pines to rejuvenate,  
hopes to find the secret of solace for the desolate soul, 
waiting for the time to rise re-invented 
from the wreckage of self-worth.

Premium Member My broken heart

Love life 
who am I kidding 
I nurture men until 
they find forever homes 
my time like 
a black excalibur 
slips from my grasp 
age creeps up on me 
no children 
no legacy 
to leave behind 
my heart broken 
not just once, but twice 
it's too late in my search 
too many complications 
too much disappointment 
to ever fill the void 
of fulfillment 
of sharing one love 
with a soulmate 
to call my own

Premium Member A broken heart

My heart never heals 
it lingers 
from broken promises 
broken dreams 
my happiness went up and smoke 
leaving loneliness 
I put on a fake disguise 
while searching 
coping with deep agonizing pain 
these emotional wounds 
scratched open 
watching lovers frolic in public 
in time I hope to heal 
move on 
rebuild 
till then 
I seek to forgive myself

Broken Heart

Pain.
Heartbreak.
It’s infinite.
It’ll always happen,
at least some point in a lifetime.
Whether losing a family member,
a partner,
a pet.
You can’t stop it.
You can’t prevent it.
You wish you could,
so you wouldn’t have to deal with the hurt.
But you know you can’t,
and it’ll happen.
Heartbreak happens everyday.
It’s sad, but normal.

Cancer carves fear on the soul
Marking the life in black grief, dread
Words like hope, the cancer stole
But we’re holding onto Him by a thread

Cancer inscribes a panic into life,
Distress, so anxious and apprehensive
Words like faith, might end each strife
Oh, this disease puts me on the defensive

Cancer writes worry through each dream
Darkening the spirit with heartbreak
It feels so terrifying – I could just scream!
God surely knows all that is at stake

Cancer engraves tears into the believer
Silencing the prayers so softly spoken
God will soon destroy this dark deceiver
And quiet the heart who has been broken!

Cancer pens heartbreak in my prayer
While I reach for the light in the shadows
Knowing, deep down, He is always there
While I can’t understand, He always knows

Cancer marks the heart with tears
Pouring salt into the wounds – such grief
But God blesses away all the fears
With His gentle spirit, oh such sweet relief

Broken heart

Broken heart 
Lies don’t last 
Tears don’t makes a river 
You cut the rope holding our love 
Sorry you can’t make it same size 
Any more my dear 
There is always a time to move on 
Now I understand better 
What it means to be a man 
No matter how good you are 
It can’t be a enough to keep a
Man out of pain 
I blame no one but i cant just comprehend this agony of betrayal 
Why this much sorrows 
Why this much mental tortures created by lies 
I remember the good times 
I never forget your promises 
I remember vividly your actions of Shame 
I thought it pays to be good 
You never broke me 
All you gave me was just a 
Broken heart

Premium Member The Healing of a Broken Heart

Doctor or Patient
The need is there
Being told by either
Is evident you care
In order to give
The thought
And or to Receive
Is Evident You Have Given
Another is with you
Caring
Sharing
Once was Distant
Never to forget the cause
But to embrace 
The Healing Love
You Care

Confessions of a broken heart

Confessions of a broken heart.
In the quit of the dark
The stillness the running of thoughts
The struggle to find clarity 
In an environment built upon disparity 
Rumors lies dishonorable acts
Fill the mind like panic attacks 
At a crossroads a mental impass
Emotionally  still attached
Direction to go is at a lack
Physically feel completely detached
As if in mourning someone who hasn't even passed
Hope remains for a second chance 
For a love that doesn't freelance
