Fragments

@Uootem

fragmented shards of long ago memories
floating purposelessly around me... such is this haunting
like an impotent poet searching for lost words
that once had the dignity to be shared.

with spent poetic emotions huddled in a corner
rhyme ringing empty and ever hollow are
his futile words of longing and regret
with lost love's flameless torch melting my soul.

my body like an empty hollow cortex
filled with the emptiness of pain and tender emotion
waiting for renewal to come... but it does not
my heart has been bled at the losing of something precious.
