Dear Broken Heart

A magazine told me

It's okay to feel lonely

She feels for you in phases

Put yourself in her shoes and switch places

I feel like a violent sky

Where dreams float up, expunge and die

Like an abandoned shoe on railroad tracks

You know there's a story there, but no ones coming back

My heart bleeds like a tree barks gum

Searching for air, drying up in the sun

Like the river below my tears will flow

and the heavens laugh at my fate foreshow

A magazine told me 

It's okay to feel lonely

She feels for you in phases

Time to take that magazine and blaze it

yes, advice for the lovelorn...It's okay to feel lonely...then move on....but those pages are just paper, and those words just filler.
Because we can no longer fill our heart when we are left alone.
And the past is always not far behind us no matter how many years pass.
My laces are untied, and the train is coming.
excellent write, Kee...
great to see you around again.

Hi Jacob, glad to see you're doing well, hope all is good at your end during this pandemic.
Your review is so well said, it's poetic in itself.
You understand my pen like no other. Thank you J, always.

A broken heart takes it own time to mend and no two hearts mend the same way. I feel the pain of the abandoned shoe and the heart hollering like an African drum. Yes, burn the magazine, this pain is like no other!

Great to read you after so long, dear KeeD...who doesn't remember "Bonfires"?
... and I hope we get to read more of your amazing poetry. I hope all is very well with you.

A bright and breezy poem! I know the subject matter could be construed as sad, but it made me smile because of the imagery and some of the interesting word choices. I enjoyed the read!

Dear KeeD, so good to see you back on the board. It's been a while. Those agony aunts, does anyone listen to them? Seems someone is smitten as well as broken hearted, while the lady comes and goes. Violent skies and drum beats. She's got you in a whirl. Felt the turmoil here and the heart's agony. Great poetry. Keep safe and well.

I agree my friend.

Nice to be alone sometimes but we need human contact and human voice. Thank you KeeD for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
