Shattered glass
Lost I’ve found is the sweet celestial poetry, glistening are stars no longer, in any
nighttime eyes
Shattered glass crowding paths i may walk, stained splintered gleaming, ever bleeding,
unwanted memory so soft upon my mind
Unwanted memory, such it is that mesmerizes me,
Dismantles me
Defeats me
In the hills, between the trees I hear song within the moonlight,
Trickling down the trunks and gliding atop the leaves
I hear a woman’s whisper
And I begin to cry
About this poem
This poem is about lost love, and how it weighs on the mind.
