‘Heartbreak Rising’

Through the flames we are refined and rise a better self🌹

‘Heartbreak Rising’

Where does
The heart go
When the heart
Breaks-
As if there’s
An earthquake
Dividing one heart
Shared by two
Splitting it down
The centre
Jagged and
Leaving
You tattered
And
Torn-
Was this
Why you were
Born
To be
Lost and forlorn
Then why
Are we born
Like waste
Paper is torn
Crumpled
And
Torn
Left to be
Shredded
Discarded
Not much
Credit

Or
Is it the cycle-

It’s thrown
In the bin
To be part
If the re-

Re-cycled
Re-newer
Re-birthed
Re-glued

A

Re-gaining
Of me -

It’s a part
Of the hearts
Testimony

To be
Strengthened
To be free

If only we can see
In lessons
We learn
The breaks
And the
Burns
Are a part
Of a new start

The breaking
Of heart
Re- news
Every part
Ever inch of
The deepest part

Through
Falling apart
Is strengthened

The life span
Lengthened

Where cracks
They lie deep
And emotions
Don’t sleep
It strengthens
The beat
The arteries
Deep
Fresh blood
It does seep-

Removing the
Old
No matter
How cold
Listen
When told-

You don’t want
Your heart
Sold
Abused
Growing old

From out of
The ruins
The earthquake
The fumes

Re-births
Only new

Re-paired
Having shared
What it’s
Taken for few
Put together
With glue

Where the cracks
Allow light
Through
If only you
Knew-
To be broken
And battered
Emotions all
Tattered
It’s
All a part
Of the building
Of new-

A new
Happy you.

When we were young how could we know; that broken days, promises and emotions would teach us compassion.
I loved your poem.

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Thankyou- we learn from each one- thankyou for taking time🌹

[Coyote Poetry]

Old wise saying. Must reach bottom to see the light at the new beginning. I liked your honest and direct thoughts dear Kelly. The flow of thoughts led to the proper ending. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Honesty is the best - glad u enjoyed Thankyou yet again🌹

[Chris Shaw]

We grow stronger as a result of all our trials and tribulations. Not easy to appreciate that at the time, but I am a firm believer that we grow because of it. Nicely conveyed lines. Such a pleasure to read you Kelly.

Thankyou my dear always a pleasure and wise words you speak🌹

[lightsong]

Very cleverly written my dear, specially the "re" parts and the ending is quite unexpectedly powerful! sometimes we wonder how we gain the strength to continue on, but we do! and we ask ourselves about it later, I hope that anyone who is in pain, who is broken... desperate will come to read Your words here, to gain comfort and warmth, gentle strength and belief to keep going on.

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Thankyou again for your loving kind words- yes all we can do is go on u. Faith telling ourselves all shall be well and when we do only good things come- if we just believe🌹

[Einstein Noodle]

nice..i like it ..reads so easily like a rap .. especially appreciate the "re- ." verses, the sound wisdom as well as the imaging of the two as one torn ..just brutal says i! a fine exercise in rhyme as well ... when i first looked at the form ..i'm like ..wow! that's a really longggggggggggg string ... but the rap quality made reading easy and smooth to follow ..

[Einstein Noodle]

"Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."
You virtually broke this adage down and laid it out.
A keenly perceptive piece of work!

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Thankyou and yes you are right each lesson we learn is a reason to go on to climb to achieve to get up and go on- I appreciate you stopping by🌹

[barleygirl]

This is the best poem of yours that I've read so far. This is the strongest your rhyming has been, the most clear message you've conveyed, almost like a story in a poem, the way the narrator goes thru a transformation. Your verbs are dynamic, so the message feels compelling . . . plus it's just an authentic relatable message done in an original way (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Oh how very kind of you to say so - I’m glad you enjoyed it- life teaches us through pain - no pIn no gain🌹

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

No pain / sorry not pin🌹

[¿]

Hoooo😧...this one was needed...not that my heart broke but I can heal many by reciting your lines...actually many can heal many!!😁
Loved reading it from head to toe....life's so beautiful once we get to know why we're born...though that needs some refining process like burning in flames of "heart break"....
Again am happy to read your lines...thanks for sharing :)
Hope you're well🌹 ;)

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Thankyou like always for your kindness glad you enjoyed it - all is well and I hope with you🌹

Am well, Your Majesty!🙇

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... I especially like your line about the “light shining through the cracks”. Most of my life has been giving, but not receiving affection, but now I have learned that love is like the Moon... always there if we care enough to understand the intracies of phases that create happiness. truly, Pat

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Oh how beautiful your words are always such a special heart you have- sending lots of love 🌹

[Wild Rose]

Your heart dont break its a path I the brain building up hope making plans > The thread breaks all the hopes and plans go awry > The old bits keep on coming back and pain us

So many go for the recycle idea about friendships
Can you find a life long partner takes time and effort

It comes easy in poems, stories and fairy tales
Wish we could live like those

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

It would be a dream come true but nothing in life comes easy we have to know deep inside the rights and wrongs and the heart needs to be pure- sometimes I think we are better off alone butbthen we could miss out on the best ever meant to be so I’ll kerp holding on for my prince and believing at the right time all shall be well 🌹

I used to go to a contract (office machine repairs) run by a tyrannical Miss B (56 YO)
One day she came in all beaming
"I got engaged last night girls"
She bought them all coffee for break

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Yes- never say never....
