Shatter the silence apart

My heart tears gently open
Please will you take me with you

A rumor has it 
there is an open season

I have never thought that you

there are
merciless 
words that shatter joy
falling with tears of farewell
as sorrow’s wayward ghosts come fleetingly home

Kick out your windows
and let the glass shatter against the pavement below
the better to hear the crickets
the better to breathe in the night

Shatter Speaks In Pieces

SHATTER SPEAKS IN PIECES

Shatter speaks in pieces
on the ground
My knees bleeding
that heart
once so strongly beating
...stops.

Premium Member Glass Jar

Don’t set a fire within me 
unless you are willing to stay; 
Passion burns and spiderwebs;
and will eventually shatter  
my glass jar of hearts.

Neighbor's gossip carried like stones in the wind.
 Glass houses shatter.

Words

.              Some words
.          Cut the soul deep
.     Some entertain the mind
.Some shatter the mind deep inside

Shatter a Heart

Every day a letter came,
I love you, I love you, I love you so.
One day a letter came,
Forgive me, I have to go.
The reason?
I still don’t know.

Be careful with my heart
Or it could shatter in your hands.
Because im damaged.
Broken on the inside and out.
You could fix me...will you fix me?

When Black Live Matters a Window Shatters

a black life matters
saw their glass as it shatters
broke by mean batters

after window shatter
know that a black life matters
while sinful scatters

The Game

they want me to give them my thoughts
and break them to shatter my heart
your agenda's lame
so this is the game?
this goes against all i've been taught....

Falling

Stand in the light
For months at a time

Yet once again
As soon as he's gone
Break on the floor
And shatter your soul

Slide to the dark
Forever more.

Sunset paints the sky crimson.
We swan dive off the dock’s edge. 
Sunlit ripples shatter into timelessness.

Tremors



Power shifts from points
Capital demands profit
We are just puppets
Nature revolts through tremors
Towering greeds - shatter down

Unexpectedly,
Panic consumed our Nation,
Fanatic cowards
Tried to shatter our union,
But United We Stand.

Premium Member Sabotage

My reflection wears a mask
Face painted to hide my tears
Camouflaging hidden fears
If anyone tries to get close
I shatter like a fallen flask
Killing all hopes

The pics masked In name-stamped boxes Shelf dusting And shatter When remembrances dissolve, Each work took my sight. Written: January 09, 2022

Premium Member Shattered Normality

sounds of gunfire
    shatter a warm afternoon...
         one more lockdown

gray feral pigeons
     scatter from their rooftop nests  ...
         tomorrow's headline

Basement of Long-Lost Dreaming

I store
my dreaming
in a basement
far below
others' vision


I store
my wanting
in a glass
jar

ready to shatter
open
and capture
before they all
fly away.

Denial of Faults

All my faults shatter like crystals
when my laughter hides them from others...
I do deny they exist
when they don't hurt the least;
get to know them to avoid surprises.

Don'T Follow Me

don't follow me for my body will vanish and my soul will explode and shatter freely into the universe like magical dust and you'll become confused not knowing which way to go.
