Splinters of the Heart
7 December 2016
We gather
Sceneries in woods
Of the mind
That remind
Of days gone by walking through
The thick and the thin
Like gardens
Hanging on the edge
Of a cliff
Amidst riff
Panoramic views submerge
Growing of the urge
Oblivion
An eight letter word
Becomes herd
That refrain
From the expression of pain
Their bodies corpses
The dark crawl
Dead embers ashes
Light flashes
Not within
Their lack of feelings akin
To breath of undead
Sorrowed lead
Plastered smiles in white
The empaths
Faith in light
Keeping Hope through Times that smite
Words that decompose
Recompose
Splinters of the Heart
There are ways
Etched in Soul
Knowledge of how you are whole
Beyond the fences
Reading of the poem:
Just for You – Giovanni Marradi
