Threads on Mended Seams
On edge of crevasse
splitting the whole from broken
I waver between—
weaving to escape phantoms
longing for where I belong
I mask all my scars,
with smiles etched on hollow masks
yet memory bleeds
too whole to join the broken
too fractured to pass as whole
To love life anew
to re-forge and re-ignite
requires confession
to those entrenched in shadows
that death now terrifies me
On the mended

A Tattered Heart: Mended
heart
tattered
wounded soul
hopes all shattered
failed love has a price
such an outrageous toll
a burden to bear when skewed
Before leaping again, think twice
There's a question worthy of asking
Is trusting in love again worth the risk
It will bloom anew if true love is found,
Chance encounter of a new romance
Funny, how it happens that way
suddenly, gray skies turn blue
Sunlight beams

Mended
Like a broken vessel in the blacksmith's shop
I lay there broken and getting rusted.
I was of no use, no one stopped by
to pick me up and mend me .
Then one day when I lost all hope ,
there came a man who bought .
He did not comment on my looks ,
but lovingly He held

Broken Bonds, Mended Hearts
The sky hung heavy with the weight of the day,
As my heart ached with an unbearable dismay;
The world around me drowned in noise and pain,
I felt alone, lost, and consumed by chains.
My mind raced with thoughts I couldn't control,
A constant battle that was taking its toll;
I wanted to scream, but my voice fell on

Broken Hearts Can Be Mended
Broken hearts can be mended
By Michelle Morris
16/10/2020
Broken hearts can be mended
Shattered pieces to love surrenders
Happiness in time embraced
No more loneliness engaged
Broken hearts can be mended
Soft words and gestures friendly
People generous and kind
Frees hurts from souls left behind
Broken hearts can be mended
Hugs and kisses shower heaven
No

A Mended Fence a Sinners Doubt
A Mended Fence A Sinners Doubt
David J Walker
The sin
is in
The sin is out
The sin is to
pretend
and not to doubt
where truth begins
a ragged rout
the books all blend
the rancor’s shout
with trails of gloom
or gratitude
a tactile room
too often skewed
as hues

Mended
What do you do with a broken heart
Mend it, heal it, and tare it apart
Watch as the pieces go floating away
Crashing and burning as you sit and stay
Then wonder why it hurts you so much
Even a heart can't handle a punch
It decides not to trust your mending and healing
It decides to go out, and starts

You Have a Mended Heart-
how is a heart broke
how can it be broken-up
when is heart open
when trust is lost loss
a love is never broken
if you allow God
to hold remold it
He's kisses the breath of life
mends the wounded heart
so now no longer
no longer broken you have
you have mended heart

Mabel Mended Macrame
Millie’s mother Mabel mended macrame
Mainly Marseilles-made macrame,
Maddening moments mending machine macrame
Mostly made-to-order, mostly May macrame.
Making May mostly made-to-order macrame means
Many months modifying Malaysian macrame, mostly!

Tattered Gift
I hold his heart within my palms,
It is beating so abundantly,
There are less cracks in his than mine,
I know, such a delicate thing,
Never should it have been entrusted to me,
A careless being, so clumsy with love,
Yet, here it sits, resting so perfectly within my palm,
Such a beautiful thing,
Raw, mended, complete,
I wish I could have such

How I Mended Myself
When potter created me
I was flawless
Shone brightly
With time,I faded
Developed Cracks
Crushed dreams
Stinging words
Agonizing tears
Full of cracks
I lay in a corner
Useless
Waiting for death
One day,
I covered myself
with thick layer of gold
Strong and shining
Now I am beautiful, happy

To Care Impressions
Relations steadfast, sincere
Bonds of love true, unbounded
Break up, rust, soon wear and tear
Over time out of no care;
With trust steady, unbroken
And respect unfeigned, so true
The cracks be mended, tended
To stave off much deeper rifts.

Is That Humanity
crushing heartache,
feeling down'
why this betrayal
feeling loss feeling wound
why then should I be found happy
when all is despair around
one lesson I have learned
the world is cruel, and justice indeed blind,
a fixed friendship is broken again
no way to mend this time
so why is humanity so fickle
are we inhuman at best
monsters in the flesh
ready to
