Matters Of The Heart





Does heart cancer exist?

Mine aches
Too long
Too soon

Tell me, Ms Life
Is this the aim?
Is this why I was born?

To my shore
You sent me
That message
In a bottle
So shiny
So white
So well the words
Described

So curious I was
Had to open and see

So again
This heart was sold
At the cheapest fee
And once
All for free
Turned upside down
Like in the not so old times
My soul so well revealed

Tell me, Ms Life
Is this what I came here for?

A stone
No matter how strong
Is broken eventually
All you need
An appropriate
Talented
Experienced
Insistent
Insatiable
Chisel

Especially easy
When so often
It was
Previously shattered
Once and again
And so poorly rebuilt.

Tell me, Ms Life
If I promise
And commit myself
To closeness
Will I be guaranteed
Not to
Be shattered again?

We live in a shattered world, if we return to ourselves is it possible to rebound. I think that we, part of the whole, also are in pieces. My belief is that we cannot escape, never.
Nice poem
Good day

taking the risk to love...can hurt so bad...but to not love...to not take that risk again....

Gosh!! this is wonderful, sad and true. I loved how you referred to the message in a bottle washe up on shore. thats how love can be, washed away quickly and shattered.

As my life is a little topsy turfy now i feel all these emotions..

As Jonatha Brooke sang, in her song "Made Of Gold":

"What you want most will elude you

What you want most will elude you

Cos everything, before it changes

Seems to be made of gold."

It just may be possible that I am feeling exactly the same way as your poem says that you are.

Oh, Dulce... this one made me cry. It's filled with the pain of heartache - something many of us understand all too well. What's to be gained from it all? Goddess only knows.

BIGGG hug!!!

Always that chance of being shattered! I guess that one party is always more at risk.

Los corazones que sienten siempre estarán expuestos, en la vida hay que correr riesgos y en el amor es todo o nada no hay vueltas.
Aun la vida no ha terminado de hablar...
Besos:)

(((((( Dulce )))))) I wish I could reach out and hug you right now. How much love hurts at times! Yet, even though ironic, it is what gives us the will to move on. Your turn will come, my dear. Keep your head up, keep the faith.

With love and warm hugs, my dear friend!

Sad but it's real and beautiful just the same. We can all relate, can't we?

Abrazos, amiga. ¡Bien dicho!

SILVIA said...

Hoy me emocionaste tanto, mi Dulce amiga. Que las palabras se agolpan atolondradas en mi garganta, a la espera de que el nudo se deshaga.
Hermoso. Mil besitos!!!

I love this poem, Dulce. I feel it in my being. It is from loving so deeply and then letting go if only to save ourselves...then comes that light of hope again...I find this poem so truthful and I have felt that way too. No guarantees exist in the realm of love but I, for one believe that the truest one is one I've not yet experienced. But I will. And you will too.

Hugs for you~ xoxo

This is very good. And the ending is so perfect.

Gaffer tape! That's the cure. Lot's of gaffer tape!

Shadow said...

mmmm, a shatter-proof heart? living and loving makes that impossible i think... what a lovely thought though.

JStar said...
