Shattered

shattered

diamond’s glass of
falling pieces

soul of love torn to shreds


longing
for joy’s reunion
of passion’s nearness


shattered

finger’s link of
broken circle

death’s tomb of widowhood

Please tell me what you think

Sorry, you cannot respond to an archived poem

    This powerful few lines show me a turmoil inside with the desperate outlook for new light.
    Loss and loneliness break through with each line and touch the reader's heart immediatly.
    Very expressive, deep and wonderful poem Frans and it certainly leave me in thoughts for a while. Thanks! Ulla xx

    powerful!

    My favorite kinds of poems are the ones that say so little, yet mean so much. You've really mastered this kind of writing! As an engaged woman, I can feel some deep emotion toward this. The words have made me appreciate what I have at the moment. Wonderful! Absolutly powerful!

    I keep coming back to this piece

    for its very brevity amazes me, so much implied, such a big life story - actually stories, for there is more than one character within. Great economy. Like a crystal puzzle. Super.
