Cracked Poems

Cracked Reflection

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A stranger, a ghost, pretending to be me.
Skin stretched tight on a frame I resent,
A body I wear like it’s paying the rent.

Eyes that avoid, lips that press thin,
A war with the world that’s fought from within.
I paint on a face like a mask, like a

CRACKED MIRROR

I stared into the mirror too long
And it finally broke beneath my gaze
Not from age, neither from accident 
But the weight of truths I dared not face.

I saw a childhood in pieces
stitched together with borrowed faith
smiles that were survival
and joy that never quite fit.

I tried to imagine someone else
a better version
but the cracks revealed more
than

Something cracked the shell

Frail heart's are weak minded bigots 
I felt this disturbance enter into the light 
this cold dark cloud burning below zero 
it sends the shivers coming from its shadow 
The broken record begins scratching a surface 
ingrowing putting the needle between words 
sewn deeply rooted the reflection appears mirrored 
frozen watching this crossover 
it all

I cracked on the central air-conditioning on Juneteenth 2025

I cracked on the central air-conditioning on Juneteenth 2025...
the first time this summer,
when martyrdom got chucked aside for cold comfort.

How heavenly the climate controlled apartment
unit b44 felt and damn the torpedoes
(originated from a quote
attributed to Admiral David Farragut
during the Battle of Mobile Bay
in the American Civil War)
about being the poster child for Peco.

Cracked

My aims, this way achieved, I must atone.
A man, so old, my affections were sold,
and today, I find I am so alone, 
inside resides a wilderness of cold, 
at my interior, a heart of stone.
I'd like to think that it was made of gold,
with structural integrity, intact, 
but can it ever be, now it has

cracked earth sings

cracked earth sings

thunder splits the sky
wild blooms tear through dirt and stone -
life screams into light

What A Cracked Easter

"Paint your words with pretty colors, as you paint your pretty eggs with color"

Before we know it,
Easter will bring a new outfit.
Colorful eggs will be here soon so don't blink,
dye your eggs~blue~yellow~purple~pink.
Pretty color eggs we will eat,
they taste much better than a red beet.
Oh no my new dress,
the egg made a big mess.
Cracked egg shells

Cracked Heart

When life with barrenness deals
            Her c-r-a-c-k-e-d heart frustration feels

He's cracked it!

Teen Felix got pissed as a newt
His actions he could not dispute
He pee’d in the sink 
Caused by demon drink
What happened next he can’t refute

He perched on the sink for a dump
Brown faeces came out of his rump
The weight of his load
Made the sink implode
My brother I just want to thump!

Still Holding my own

 I guess you're upset, but you've cracked me up
How will you manage when needing a scrub
Still holding my own
So put down the phone
It'll cost you too much to buy a bath tub.

RIDING ON THE CRACKED ICELAND

RIDING ON THE CRACKED ICELAND

Heat up! The cold Attic
On the border to the mountain 
Full grown in Ice, a parking bay?
On the furrow thirsty of warmth 

Iceberg will wait 
Snow! Not this night
Seeing the Knight in cold
Will tell the tale of a fit

Our journey to the cold, sour
Never mind! If we can build
Seeing Ice not

Hearts Like Flowers

Out of the crack, a life did rise, 
A fragile bloom beneath the skies. 
No gentle rain, no nurturing hand, 
Just broken stones, a barren land.

But still, it fought, it clawed its way, 
Toward the sun, it longed for day. 
A tiny shoot, a will to grow,
A heart that hope would never forgo.

Like fragile souls,

a clam cracked open

you want the commitment,
you want to be loved -
though, you need to know me,
in order for this to work out.

i need to be free,
to not clutch my wings,
do you understand me?
that's all that i need.

don't keep me updated,
don't share any words,
i'm easily bored,
that's all that i want.

shut up, keep it quiet.
don't say anything more.
i'm not

Cracked Perfection

A rippling ocean,
we just mirrored each other;
Smiling with the Moon
laughing uncontrollably,
cracked us into perfection.

Cracked Compass Finding North

I craved not affection, a desperate plea,
Just whispers of worth, a glimmer to see.
No mountains I sought, no jewels in a crown,
But a touch of acceptance, a smile to drown

The echoes of doubt, the shadows so cold
Where whispered self-blame its story foretold
They painted me worthless, a canvas of fear
Their brushes dipped deep in a poisoned
