Shattered Poem by Valerie Dohren

Shattered

Rating: 4.9


Do not leave a heart yet shattered -
Shards of glass upon the floor
Lying there, profuse and scattered,
Splintered soul, bereft and sore

(Broken hearts can n`er be mended
In a moment`s fleeting time
Months or years they need be tended
`Fore they rise again to shine)

Serve it well with tender feeling
As it be your very own
Thence it would require no healing
Nor yet dwell for`er alone

Love and care is ever needed
Words and actions given free
Faithfulness should too be heeded -
Hearts belong to you and me

Hearts you see - broken to pieces Under feet, but you're in haste... You are running, flying, flickering As the flash in night or day... Time is passing... Hearts rots down... Where was aim of your haste? ... If you picked up the only one heart - May be you had a success...

Beautifully expressed Val, as if being caressed. Your book of poems should be put together soon I hope, as I shall be your #1 devoted fan. You are 'THE BEST'... and write so elegantly and in perfect flow. Thanks for sharing.

A Celeste was heard in the background as I read this, together they worked as love birds. Let us learn to fix hearts from your talented hands. Another lovely read.
