Scrambled Egg

Sometimes I cry out
when all the king’s men walk by,
though no one cares to listen
to a soul half-cracked,
boiled spoiled by the cruel sun.

Alas, another sunset goes by
to black the sky with nameless stars,
still, I make a wish for a prince
who ends up horseless
and refuses to ask for directions -
a frog beneath impending kiss.

Here I sit, loveless, wallbound,
hope in wait, tear in hand,
falling to split in two.
Jagged pieces of me
cut to the bone, slice me alone
to ho-hum the hours, splattered
of brick flesh walls that protect and curse
the yoke-stained ground of broken breath.

How I long to be served on a plate
with heart still in beat,
dined and wined with worth,
held in tact, caressed, painted in gold
with lips that understand my flavour
in savour of a happy ending.

Sad, how fate arrives too late
with footprints across this shell of skin.
I am dead parts, scrambled egg, devoured dreams
for all the king’s men,
unwilling to put my heart
together again.

The fairytale remains to be heard, and seen.

Thank you.

Oh, my gosh--I'm at a loss for words. I am so impressed with your writing and I am so distressed that you seem to be suffering so much!

Take care sweet Honeybee

I know one of the King's men will be by shortly and will discover what we already know.  You have a loving heart

Melissa,
A delight to read but then all of your works are. It is my belief that there is someone for every one. Lovely write and read.
