ECHOES OF THE BROKEN
[Verse 1] We can’t look away from the pain and the sorrow, From the fear and despair, The cries of the broken, the lost and the hollow Are rising in the air. Still, we turn away, Like it’s not meant to be, Trying not to feel it, Like this shadow Is just a mystery. [Chorus] No… we can’t look away From the weak and the weary, We can’t...

To Eurydice
her steps rhyme with mine an echo between yearn and daunt I ask her to keep pace, her shadows pine voices behind me, slick and gaunt —the phantoms want to keep her the light ahead hazy, yet I demur we’re so close—or too close panic surged deliriously, in prose— my eyes turn to my asphodel... her lost shadow whispers: ‘farewell.’...

one year on the memory his kindness still live in my heart
Sunday 2025.05.25 This morning, I arrived at the Station, Gave the Swan Hill V-Line train a miss, The same train which I travelled Exactly one year ago. When I had a relaxing and peaceful time, At the border of NSW and Victoria. It turned out I should catch the missed train, To take me to Kangaroo Flat, One stop away from Bendigo. What significant thing...

Broken mirror
Why do you seem so confident. When all this will disappear. Why does it seem so evident. When you finally face your fear. When hell has lost its precedence. And heavens a wish a way. You murdered all your yesterdays and placed them in shallow graves Oh, mirror mirror on the wall am I a shadow in your heart. Oh mirror...

The voicemail
Hey, It’s me, I've been thinking a lot lately, Do you ever wonder, Why do we want to know when, When we could just let go and forget, Did you ever care, Or do you even know what game you played, But you shut me out, Do I mean something to you, Or was I just a stone to step on to cross the river, So...

Premium Member The Love Vase Broken
Was my son vindictive? My wife just stared at the sight! There on the floor was the old ugly vase My aunt Melinda gave us on our wedding day. And my wife know how much love my son had for it. Even though he may have broken it, I cannot help but forgive For he has a...

The Poetry of the Broken
My God is the God of broken ladders, many rungs are missing and I don’t have the skill to mend them. My usual recourse for the unfixed is to pen a poem about the imperfect beauty of the unfinished and damaged. Breakfast is just for seating two, there's another broken stool propped up against a wall - a silent testament to 'found poetry' that needs only a...

Cry of the broken
Your timing, O God, is flawless, they say, Mercy spills from Your eternal edge. I cling to that truth, yearning for solace, Yet it slips as I bleed through the years. Woes swarm like static, sharp with insult, Words that cut, leaving a thousand wounds. Will You, my Maker, cradle me close, When tears and fragments are all I am? If pain is...

Void
In the silence, I hear my own voice A whispered longing, a heart that makes some noise I reach for connection, a gentle touch But find instead a space that's too much The weight of unspoken words, a heaviness I bear A sense of longing that I've learned to share With every step, I search for a place to stand A sense...

Beneath the Broken Spell
The woods are never as kind as the stories make them seem. Little Red does not skip, her feet heavy with the weight of the basket, its contents a secret darker than the night. The wolves aren’t just hungry, they’re desperate. Their teeth are sharp, their hunger endless. And the huntsman? His axe is too slow, his conscience too soft for the forest that devours the innocent. The glass slipper...

Premium Member My Hands Today
My Hands Today My hands are getting old today. They are getting old right in front of my eyes. I suppose the rest of my face is following, But I can not see that happening. There is some peace in that, But my hands…? I don’t mind hard work. I never minded hard work. I liked hard...

Broken Glasses and Shattered Hearts
How long does it take to break broken glass until it’s broken beyond repair? How long does it take for avoidant eyes to finally learn to stare? Will it take long enough for glass to pierce my shattered, battered heart, Or eyes that will never look that way from the very start? Does it take a fool or a...

Broken
She gave her heart to only a few Some she just met , others she knew. They were each different, but still just the same They never knew her only her name. They lied and cheated and played their games. Forever turned into never, now she'll never be the same. They left her broken and bruised over the years But she fought...
