Crumbling

I wrestle
with
my heart
the
empty part
full side
tries to
spill
warming
up the
chill
streaming
through the
halls
finding
cracks within
walls
bricked scars
still
bleed
weaken under
need
a push
to break them
down
to walls
built so
sound
surfaces
soft and rough
scrape
stone can
reshape

your usual excellent work.....

enjoyed this a great deal..


Frozen now
supended incased
in the icy words
of silence which
in glacial form do
build with each
passing season of doubt

Ice aged remorsefulness
of wasted summer days
shared in naked hedonistic
displays of love,
compresses the layers
of frigid denial
into snowpacked
fields...
we can only ski atop
and not melt
without a new springtime
to thaw these
inclimate hearts...

I absolutely loved the layout of the poem and way it read...

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

I found a door…
You better come through there’s
a party on this side waiting for you!
