This poem has been wanting to pour out of me for months now. It is a letter written to myself so that I could start to tear down the walls... Heart To Dust A punctured heart, violated, in cardiac arrest served on a platter for vulture's breakfast, teased with tongue, crunched with teeth in satan's chalice as orchestra plays a requiem of malice, a heart plagued in shattered release satisfying hell's fury of feast ~*~ A dying heart, cold, slashed and bled, you hide it, swallowed 'neath the bed, discombobulated, fractured beat, chasing peace, a disjointed soul, waiting for torment to cease, hoping that these walls will wipe the slate clean praying that illusion is only a dream ~*~ Life's crooked promises, twists and turns roast your screams on open flame to burn forcing a heart to stretch and bend, you wonder if your soul shall ever mend, now cracked and scarred, black and damaged, if you hurry, perhaps, it may be salvaged ~*~ Tears blurr vision through demon's window losing sight of the long-sought miracle, yearning for your heart to be cradled once more, a knight to kiss your desires, to open the door to a weeping heart encased in rust, a safe haven, it is, but, eventually, even stone turns to dust *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams ~Melissa P. Monette~ |

You are absolutely incredible at creating an image as well as writing description. My fav. part had to be: "A punctured heart, violated, in cardiac arrest served on a platter for vulture's breakfast," Bravo!! -Jeremy Raulinaitis "I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. -William Faulkner (Noble Prize Speech.) |

Tears blurr vision through demon's window losing sight of the long-sought miracle, yearning for your heart to be cradled once more, a knight to kiss your desires, to open the door to a weeping heart encased in rust, a safe haven, it is, but, eventually, even stone turns to dust ========================= Melis, your poems pull at the heartstrings in a way I cant even put into words at the moment ... you express your emotions at a very deep level and your imagery is just as impressive even if its things we wish no one would ever have to know about... keep writing it all out sweets ... it heals and breaks chains with every line but you already know that  If my slight Muse do please these curious days ... The pain be mine ... but thine shall be the praise. ~Shakespeare~ |

Melissa, I'm so glad you let this pour out! Yes, I know it's painful, but it is therapeutic, and when you write it so beautifully and share it hear, it heals not only your heart but others' as well. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Melissa~ There are no words to describe this piece of writing. But I shall try my best to give it justice. Mel, this poem touches deep within and leaves nothing short of making the reader feel breathless. i am VERY glad you got this out in the open. and as Janet so beautifully said poetry allows us to free the demons and to put our hearts and souls back together in completion. wonderful work you have here. one of my favorite of yours despite the sadness of this topic. it is definitely going into my library. i pray that things get better for you, but i do know you are strong! that shows clearly in your writing. take care my friend. amy "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

This could have been written for a lot of people here. Just see how virtue repays you, you turn and someone betrays you Betray him first, and the game's reversed... -from The Scarlet Pimpernel |
