The Gardener of Frayed Edges
The world, a garden, choked with thorny weeds, Where human hearts, like fragile petals, bend, And empathy, the water that it needs, To bloom anew, and broken spirits mend. We are the gardeners, with gentle hands, Who till the grace, and prune the annoyance, Like fireflies, hope flickers in every place, A light to guide, in this turbulent space. ©bfa022825 ...

Premium Member Unraveled Seams of Frayed Dreams
With blade sharp tongue his words stung with the pain felt when funeral hymns are sung. In a mournful voice, off key of course, as was his choice in the way he spoke to me. I was blind not to foresee the dagger that soon would be plunged deep into my pulsing heart. His committed sin could not be expunged, for rivers of...

The secrets that we keep leave us fevered in those moments when we must be apart; Your spirit circles me throughout the day I moan as our liaison’s remembered; In another world your perfect sweetheart, instead my scarlet cheeks won’t go away; When I look at you my eyes can’t hide it; Are you able to feel sultry thoughts start? Around you...

I can still hear his voice when harsh winds blow ~ his murmurs once calmed my fears Stars faded and moonlight dimmed ~ without romantic whispers in my ear Twilight descended as we said sad farewells ~ threads of our romance frayed...

Premium Member Frayed Edges
It is worn, patched, and tattered, frayed about the edges. It has at times offered me adrenal ascendency, scared me out of my wits, challenged me to act, or to be still. Its warmth has often failed me. Its compass deviated from true north or at times just ignored. I was...

Calm Your Frayed Nerves
Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow You’ve reached the end, now time can cease How we got here, don’t ask me how Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow Accomplished as much as days would allow Your loose ends are tied, be at peace Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow You’ve reached the end, now time can cease...

Torn and Frayed
All that I did I will never forget In years I have polluted my heart; Never in time, I did regret In years I have polluted my heart My difficulties never seem away; Wishing and willing to quickly depart. My difficulties never seem away I don't concern myself with crying; For I shall dance until I go astray. I don't concern myself with crying What...

When you ask ‘Are you ok?’ all I want to say, is how not ok I am; Like a piece of frayed lace; When you’re around all I want to say is ‘No one else makes me feel so alive.’ I’m coming undone just to hold it together; Since it’s just not my place to let you see...

Frayed
everything changed by the light of day all of the monsters, held at bay one more night of sordid dreams one more day not as it seems broken thoughts and reverent prayers wishing for things that were not there pictures left in broken frames always losing at your games never one to pull out stops just so once, I'd be on top a pile of...

Frayed Pockets
Frayed Pockets A mere bag Of shells, she said Shiny colored stones Sifted from Ancient sands and Sentient oceans Were placed gently In my waiting hands They spoke of Harsh losses The rainbow hues Of human lineage The music of whales Poems yet unwritten Seedling thoughts Floating in the void Tasty moments to come And meeting a lover Perfectly matched My trembling hand Reached into old Frayed pockets To find a brace Of kisses Blown from the Lips of...

Frayed Twine
Frayed Twine Often, thoughts of you, as my safety net as the tight rope under foot never taught Even footing sure, cannot steady time Stretching, past memories, will balance naught Sweet solitude, I dream, I close my eyes I step away, let go, and fall for you as once before you led me straight across into your arms of warmth and trusted truth You...
