Wounded

Shadows

Leading nowhere

Reflected in a mirror

Intricate shards in wooden frame

Splinters

Sun Rotation But No Sun Rise

Life, like the sun, doesn't reverse itself. 
                           Hold on to the shards for dear life.

Alliteration

Scurrying sandalless soldier's
Soles slowly scarred,
Slipping somewhere,
Scattered stone shards,
Shattering soft skull.

Untitled


Rising from dunes of despair after desert storm of strife,
I gather in the vase of quietude the strewn shards of life.

Wall of Glass

Longing to thrust my hand
Through this wall of glass that divides us,
I pull away; afraid the shards
Will pierce my armor.

The Heart's Epitaph

In smithereens
Like scattered shards of glass
Cold as winter snow
Frozen like ice

in my broken dream
shards pierce the darkness inside

Whorled-Wind

   Assaulted by waves of profanity
     high tides of depravity

   Bestrewn, shards of urbanity
     ~ flotsam of humanity

Last Night

The thought comes in a storm.
An aging tree falls into 
the soft heart of sleep. 
The dream grows from 
the shards and 
splinters.

Tweezers -- Another Use

alleviation
of rage can be achieved in
plucking thorns, splinters,
and shards of glass when the chance
arrives -- very cathartic.

The Sick Feeling

Shards of glass
Peirce the depths of
My stomach.
Exposing the reality
Humanity,
Vulnerability,
Of
Life.

Crush - Tanka

words die in my palm
as my eyelids caress them...
frozen seconds mourn...
my soul is drawing answers
out of broken mirrors shards...

Heart

In silence, my heart shattered
Into a billion shards it turned
And I couldn't gather all the pieces
As the rest of me hopelessly burned

Playful and Sily

I see you, broken,
Drowning deep in tears you shed.
Your heart to shards left,
By one playful and silly.
Who's gone, to wreck another!

Flickering Iris

sharp splinters of white 
lightning harvest in raindrops
flash within my eyes

If I Walked Upon Your Soul

through
broken shards of glass
and
broken iron nails
at last
the
path
i 
could not control
if
i
walked
barefoot
upon
your soul

Delusional Stars

Delusional stars, 
constellations bend the light;  
Shards color the ground 
displaying blood on the dirt, 
dark shadows light the pigment.

Dysfunctional

rubble of social dysfunction
spilled from the lip of time
shards of humanity’s decay
sleep in layered mounds
beneath eternity’s cold moraine

A Handaxe

Stoneaged,
A memory
Silently resting now
Upon my sacred altarcloth;
Ancient. 
The hand of all our ancestors
Engraven in its clever shards.

Crystal Dreaming

Forever Dreaming,
Crystal Dreams,
Shards like glass,
Splintering as they pass,
As I wake,
I wish to take,
One final plunge,
Into my Crystal Dreams.

a smashing success

a smashing success - diamonds and emeralds in the jaws of thieves left to sweep up shards of glass eyes wet and red as rubies

Shooting Star

A menagerie of broken hearts
once carelessly displayed;
like a shooting star to start,
beauty bright that died away -
now tiny shards in disarray.

As We Live Our Lives

Disparities in pieces
    mistakes and successes to paste
        shards of life to reassemble
        constantly mending
        without ever stopping
