Tidal

We crashed and collided
Wild waves spilling our wreckage across these shores
Beautiful disasters 
We were caught in the tide


Premium Member Fall To Pieces

bountiful brown leaves
blot the ground with soft wreckage
autumn's textured rust

a snarled subconscious
       conjures cumulus demons…
            waking in wreckage

Premium Member words

words are blurs
written through tears
a wreckage of my thoughts
that stumble across paper
my pen cursed
by emotional mental state
my mind a prisoner

Premium Member Mood Swings Flotsam Jetsam

Listen to poem:
Each dawn's debris sort of wreckage from day before yields jetsam just junked and flotsam break-up relics. On the beach who can tell which?

Indebted

Picked off wreckage
Clothed and learnt anew
A mile further
Vinous, soft love
Shown to sweet calm waters
Stirred by angels for my quench
Deligted, indebted heart

Premium Member Dear John

I opened the mail with trepidation 
Reading the words with great hesitation 
	Stunned at the message 
	My life a wreckage 
She’d wed another–humiliation.

Whole

two fragile hearts collide

delicate as glass

scattered tiny shattered precious fragments

within the glittering wreckage you dream that beautiful broken things can be made

whole

Premium Member Last Message

dying to get home - 
last message that she texted
to her waiting spouse. . . . 
near the wreckage of her car -
shattered phone in blood-stained grass

Premium Member Forces Unperceived

Hollow tin-cup chess pieces 
tethered to fate are we
manipulated by forces
   unperceived
landing abruptly in
   alien territories
naïve suppositions
   blown to bits 
on the wreckage of empires

MESSAGE
I am opening my soul to send the next message
Love is the waves of the passage
How can we survive the worst wreckage
We are going to overcome the stresses

So Much Love In My Veins

Love is really in such a way :
          word the agreements,
          distribute the ties...
          Accept the wreckage,
          but save from happiness
          all shine, in kisses
           and bones... !

Besiege My Fortress

I suppose I had no choice
                         …but to collapse.
I'll always lose my path among the wreckage;
I can't keep my spirit from fleeing its traps.
What's the matter with me?
              …I solace in this relapse.

I Climb Shelves

I climb shelves
Looking for the right pair
And squeezing two between
He closed me amid the wreckage
The moving metal skims my bones
Jumping from the scene,
My ankles break for you
My heart leaps for you
My body is crushed for you

Wreckage of My Past

I sort through this wreckage in my past, fearless
I see the end of reflections in my rainbow
And new colors coming through
I  see blue
Sifted, I find serenity
I see the end of the aftermath nearing
and memories endearing
I see you

Worlds Without Weeping

This weeping willow, will willingly and recklessly wreak havoc on the world we 
would see become a wonderful wreckage of wandering wonderlands. We will 
willfully wander the wastelands. Woe for those we once knew as wearers of 
wrought.

Latent Halls

In latent halls, where memories dwell
Mist gathers on a shunted trolly
Abandoned wreckage
A decaying track runs forever
From shrouded heights
Fall unnamed questions
A bell’s toll fades
Resting only on the lines end
Indeed, only the end

A Absolute wreckage

L Lights gone out in blackout consumption

C Carnage of gigantic proportions

O Oblivion through self infliction

H Hostage to addiction

O Obstructionist behaviour

L Liberation is possible

Follow My Heart?

They say follow your heart,
but mine is a storm,
a beast tearing through its cage,
flooding everything in its wake.

I’ve tried to chain it,
but it slips,
a blaze of fury and wreckage,
too wild to be understood,
too raw to be contained.

Junk

mountain of things we throw
unneeded items stacked in drawers
rotten meat , fermented food
we eat junk and then junk eats us
heaps of trash, that's our treasure 
rusted cars will soon be  a wreckage
Oh! Let's bring new junk, get rid of the old

Premium Member Walking The Unlived Life


In the weed-webbed wilderness deep within
piles up the wreckage of life unlived,
turning the flushing garden into debris dump.
The pathway paved outside its frail fence
waits to be walked fascinated
to the mesmeric meadow of tomorrow unseen.

Blood Stains

blood stains the sidewalk where I walk
broken hearts lie beating on the ground
tears are the only currency in this town
carnage surround me, human wreckage all around
anguished cries begging for a reprieve
tortured souls sorry for their misdeeds.

Premium Member Nirvana

it used to be chaotic havoc in his mind
until he cleared out carnage and debris

with it went wreckage and resentments
from fear and insecurity rose serenity

neither thoughts emotions nor judgement
not unpleasantly a moment full of emptiness

Glaring Absence

there used to be a beachfront cottage

               out there near an old yacht's wreckage,

                                   absence glaring

                                    in the mooring

             as a tooth missing from the smile of age !
