Unmendable Poems | Examples


The Past

The journey that was incomplete, 
A world no longer serene. 
The path that was unclear, 
The destination which was not achieved. 
Lost battles, unheard cries,
Fading hues and fallen skies.

The love that pained, 
The lies that were sweet, 
The beauty that was unashamedly destroyed, 
The violence; unrestrained. 
Lost petals, crumbled leaves,
Lost spring and shrouded moon. 

The betrayal that hurt, 
The death that parted. 
The sorrow; unbridled
The cold melancholy. 

Memories, feelings, the regrets and agonies; 
no longer shackled. 
The cracked heart, the parched soul, 
Teary smiles, broken glee—
Unhealed. Unmendable.

Unmendable

we mend what we can -
broken saucers, with gum and patience
a detached belt buckle, with flair and calculations 
but an air of nameless melancholy, with agony and gloom?
imagine this, darling darner
my skin is laden with a heavy layer of misery
for i am the embodiment of darkness, 
to touch me is a sin
to have me is a crime
i stand alone 
and not even a tempest in a glass of whiskey
can move me from my despair 
no tool that you know of -
no plier, no hammer and not even a utility knife
can help me repair the wonderful misery that i am.
but oh darner!
you can mend me, they say
but why would you kiss darkness
and be one with my thoughts, 
which are most certainly arranged like a drey
on a dying tree with only one leaf?
my love, after i've groped my way around this darkness 
in search for answers
i have crashed several times
and hence 
i am indeed wounded, and flies feast on my broken pieces
i haven't had a ray to bathe in, my darling
and these demons reek of anger and dead flies
oh no! you shan't have to come any closer!
it's not your kisses, nor your embrace
but what would really mend my broken soul, oh darner
if not your fairly blatant lies?

Heavy Heart

When The Universe colapses, Will You Save My World,
 
Can You Be The Truck That Lifts The Broken Earth Off My Chest, 

Or Be The Spade That buries All The Burdens I Left Behind, 

Regret Nothing From Knowing Me, 

Not Even The Sore unmendable Past I Had Taken So Long To Put Six Feet underneath Me,

Rather You Love It Or loath It, Accept It Or Neglect It, 

The acknowledgement At Least One Had Never Given Up On Me, 

Though I Do Know Know Myself completely Yet, 

You Knew Me Best, Before I Was Even A Speck In A World destined To Self destruction

The Phoenix

I used to have sullen eyes
Until I fully realized
Instead of pity cries
I am a phoenix rised
Out of the ashes, a new man reborn
Stitching together the sashes, what once was torn
Attempting to mend the unmendable
When I was at a time, so unfriendable
Kicking the trash to the curb
Self hate is absurd
Despite what you heard
Self spite can be cured
I write to be heard
Inspiration is spurred
My soul was disturbed, turmoil.. in a stir
Instead of a bark, i'll now be a purr

Kintsugi

Pride, 
self-will
versing God's,
judging others,
double mindedness;
cracked porcelain vessels
appearing unmendable.
Repairing flaws with gold (His grace),
fills broken places while adding strength,
more beautiful for having been broken.

Hold On

(20/07/2011)

Hold on,
Let me see your scar
Is it deep or only a scratch
Is it curable or permanently tattooed
Your heart’s too clear to be struck

Hold on, 
Let me see your tears
Is it salty or only a sweat
Is it stoppable or unmendable
Your eyes are too bright to leak

Hold on, 
Why don’t you just take my hands
Together we can build a dam
I’ll lend you my strengths
For from now on, I’ll be your lamp
