Shards Poems - Poems about Shards

What Happened Here ?

Finally, the options are revealed
The appeal is second to none 
Tantalized by various speech patterns 
Shocking, awful, and mistaken 
Chills travel down the spine 
Afraid of what's to come 
At the behest of one's empathy 
Words cut through obvious defenses 
Crying to no one's delight 
The weakness can no longer be withheld 
Shaking uncontrollably, violating

Shards of Light

Last night, I shot the moon
I heard a loud groan, then
It bled...slowly, dripping
moonbeams into space
until finally, the man in the moon
became homeless...

Shards Of Singularity

Blunt sense sharpened by subtle trance
lacerates the languishing psyche
that doesn’t slink,
unwary of mortal deception.
The shards of singularity 
transfigure in a blink
into passion potion of dreams,
adrift in ephemeral delusive flow,
porous essence sips the sanguine drink.

She breathes in shards

She laughs like an unfinished song—
all melody, no return.
Wears lipstick like armor
and kindness like a borrowed coat
two sizes too large.

She collects cracked mirrors
not to look at herself—
but to see how many versions
can survive the breaking.

She tells me she’s fine
with eyes that scream
in Morse code.

Once, I caught her staring
at a calendar that never turned.
She whispered,
“I think

Heart Shards

I often tend to fall into love so fast and so hard,
Even after my own heart is broken I pick up every shard,
Because my love is meant to be shared and not be something I guard.

In fragments and tatters, in pieces and shards, scattered by the winds of time

In fragments and tatters, in pieces and shards, scattered by the winds of time,
I gather them carefully, even if they hurt me, my fingers bleed, but I do not stop,
These precious fragments, these bitter shards, these tattered edges and broken tears,
I collect them with longing, refusing to let them fall into oblivion,
Each piece carries with

Shards of Light

In spring’s exploding shards of shining light,
Of winter’s grievous garments, we’ll take flight!
And with the birds and butterflies we’ll play:
For sorrow’s match, ‘tis simply summer’s day.

Wild Is The Night

The night unravels like a tattered black sail,
its edges fraying with whispers of secrets too heavy to hold.
Stars—fractured shards of a forgotten mirror—
pierce the dark fabric,
their cold fire spilling across the sky like the dreams of ancient gods.

A feral wind prowls through the streets,
teeth bared, dragging its claws along rooftops,
tearing through the loose skin of

Shards of porcelain on the floor

If I tear myself apart, 
Will you be there to build me back up ?
Will you take the time to repair what’s broken ?
Even if it can’t be repaired ?
Even if it happens again ?

I could never promise you peace.
If I did, 
I would be looking at myself in the mirror,
And my eyes wouldn't be

Shattered Glass Dipped In Red: Four Shards; Fourth Shard

Fourth Shard
I need to clean
Who’s gonna clean?
What do I do?
I can not move 
I’m tired
I need to rest
Five minutes
Please
I’m tired
I need to rest
Please be quiet 
I’m trying to rest 
Shhhhh
Just five minutes 
I’ll clean in five minutes
I need rest
Rest

My childhood was tainted in a single moment
In an instant 
It happened so fast 
And unable to

Shattered Glass Dipped In Red: Four Shards; Third Shard

Third Shard
But black
I could clearly see where the past dried
And the new began 
I need to clean this dried blood
Before more comes
Damage control
Before I could even
I collapse
I’ve lost too much
I can’t move
What’s happening ?
What do I do ?
I need to clean
“There’s nothing left.”
With the strength I have left
I take a large shard of glass
And cut

Shattered Glass Dipped In Red: Four Shards; Second Shard

Second Shard
Shattered glass dipped in red
I forget about the glass
And begin to clean the blood
And that stings too
Causing more 
And more
And more
It won’t stop
First the time of the past
Then shattered glass
Then blood
Then shattered glass dipped in red
And more blood
When will it stop?
I don’t know what to do
What do I do?
Everything I do makes it worse
I’m

Shattered Glass Dipped In Red: Four Shards; First Shard

	First Shard
My childhood was tainted in a single moment
In an instant 
It happened so fast 
And unable to go back 
Turn back time 
To change that moment
To continue the purity 
For the purity to last all through my childhood
Giving it no room for flaws
Maybe then my adulthood could be saved
Saved from the filth from the

All my shattered shards

All my shattered shards,
Scattered upon the canvas of night,
Sharp corners, falling stars,
Whoever dared to touch me has left,
Leaving me in a weave of chaos and silence.
In the flow of consciousness, I dive into the ocean of dreams,
Where waves carry echoes of darkness and light,
My corners gleam like precious stones in the depths,
Each crack, a portal
