  Shards

places
icicle cold
absolutely
no warmth
do they
hold

enthusiasm
frozen in
time
suspended emotion
unorganized
rhyme

luster lacking
in broken
glass
no colorful
familiarly
in shards
but mass

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

like this alot for the images and the flow..nice work Helen!

Broken sharps
lie glittered
in sunlight
and it starts

crunching cuts
of bared soul
as shards left
by you begin
the bleed

Now stained
glass fragile
their colors
set

glass is like sex   it's beautiful when it's shining and finished and say a wine glass smooth and inviting, but harmful when it's cut and sharp and jagged around the edges....enjoyed this one, Helen
