Short Take Apart Poems

I wish I were your air
So that you couldn`t live
Without me. But I swear
You won`t die, you`ll breathe.

Please, come and break my heart…
It` s an obsession, dear.
I want to take apart
My head. Right now. Here.

I`ll be inside of you
Without any doubt.
I`ll be your guide and crew.
Your heaven and your ground....

I like being alone
To find the comfort
That I'm not
This room knows me
The window knows
When to bring me light
This pillow 
This piece of material
Has cushioned 
Such tears
It holds my night

Together

A tossing of a head
A deep dark hole
When dreams
Piece together
And take apart
All that tears my soul

Who finds me weeping
At 2am
Then 3
Restless for my love
I am not alone
Fragility and despair
Always find a place to be...

TIME PIECES

grandfather clock
time so easy to take apart
this child
with broken heart
couldn’t piece back together


that moment
she frowned and closed the door
i checked my watch
second hand stopped
gone forever more


summer vacation

hour hand
locked on 3:00 o’clock 
minute hand
but a tick tock away
“tick tock”   hooray!


in my closet
out of body   out of mind
out of time
nor even strong wind
can rattle the door

One Of A Kind
By MEH3

The lady is beautiful 
The woman is sweet 
The girl is fine, 
she is one of a kind. 
I admire her drive 
I love her walk
She has that sophisticated talk
that could blow one's mind
She has a motor like Ford
A body like a Benz
But something like a foreign engine Audi R8 you know
Meaning she is well put together 
And tough to take apart 
You have to be careful with her because 
she is one of a kind.

i have been in training as 
long as i can remember, 
i am destined to be an
(e)motional engineer, to
describe, take apart, rearrange
the many parts & pieces of
(e)motion. our bodies are
soldiers of kinetic energy, 
movement & reason & thought.
so many problems can &
will arise, stand tall, make 
everyone around suddenly
fall, forget- turn around & begin
again. you can't have one
without the other, in (e)motion,
can't take a step without first
standing....

Take apart this hollowed heart
And leave me breathless still
I would trade all that I own
To touch your face at will

Turn from me and you will see
A man fall to his knees
Whisper soft and speak of love
Of this I beg you, please

Walk away with great dismay
To me will cause great strife
Not to love, my flying dove
Your words cut like a knife

As I stand I take your hand
You quickly pull away
My eyes have drawn the curtain shut
You’ve ended life today...
