Pierced through the Heart
Like a needle
Pierced straight through the heart
Desire
Loss
Craving
…the inaccessible…
Patterns that bleed
Through each year
Each month
Week
Day
Moment
Of the tapestry
That is
My Childhood Story
Those knots
in my stomach
…Stitched so tight
Leave gaping holes
In my core
My sense of love
for myself
So intrinsically linked
With
You

Thank you for stopping by, I hope all is good with you. I am trying to finish up a computer aps course by end of spring break, then I can concentrate on composition. Hopefully I can get back to simply concentrating on writing and squeeze a little poetry in. I miss everyone.

Hi Charles, well you certainly don’t want to spread yourself too thin, so if it’s a break you need for a while then I’m sure there will be a silver lining of a burst of creativity on you return !

That image is perfect for your lines. The visually “declining steps of time” is a nice touch. Great poem, Colleen 🙂
