The Puzzle Poem by T.James Becker

The Puzzle

Rating: 4.8


Nothing seems to fit, like a puzzle with pieces lost
Moving them all around completion at any cost
Forcing pieces into place, they become deformed and broken
Frustration again reigns king, words like venom spoken

Words can‘t be taken back they leave wounds seeping ire
Hearts crack in half bleeding love that was required
Filling with resentment, blackening with mistrust
Leaving a diseased heart to mend hoping it won’t combust

Extra pieces scattered around odd and misplaced
Left around by friend’s advice, your love to replace
Then as if by magic, the pieces start to morph
Now they all begin to fit as love has run its course

A miracle starts to take place; a smile is in view.
What happened to the sadness I haven’t got a clue
Soon it all makes good sense; new pieces begin to fit
Love will weave its magic the puzzle starts to knit

TJ thank you for your kind comments. I've read all your poems and you have a great feeling for pace and rythm, and a talent for writing. you've felt the hurt, you've written the words, now let it go. you're too good a writer to stay with this subject, write about a tree on a hill, a cup of coffee, a dog, chase the images, go where it takes you, enjoy the act of writing and express your happiness in what you find. ps your well out of it.
