Workshop Poem Broken
A wounded heart cried, filled its lonely glass
Held and felt with anguished hands of sorrow
To pray memories fade as tears trespass
Through years of time her love had to borrow
I try to remember when love went wrong
Only fragmented pictures from the day
She disappeared as her shadow grew long
A marbled world turned quietly to clay
Cataclysm within, covering dreams
With nothing to recognize or save
My eyes counted tears with thinning long streams
and scattered monuments of yesterday
I felt a shared breath with a pain that's kept
and found a heart wounded as its eyes wept
Here's my workshop poem
First change
A wounded heart cries, fills its lonely glass.
Held and felt with anguished hands of sorrow.
Clinging to this drink of hindered morass,
For years of her love I had to borrow
I try to remember when love went wrong,
Only fragmented pictures from the day.
She disappeared as her shadow grows long,
A marbled world turned quietly to clay
Time washes all that memories contain.
Still, loss of love remembered can fade.
The years of regret secretly remain,
Uncoiling ribbons of sadness inlaid.
A wounded heart cries, fills its empty glass,
Love forever lost, memories trespass.
