Mended Poems

Premium MemberThreads 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

Premium MemberA 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
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

Premium MemberYou 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

Premium MemberMabel 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
