Broken Promises

I believe we have all been there at one time or another ...

Broken Promises

Delirious fluttering

dancing doves

Pirouette

atop tall thick hedgerow

Labour gathering

dry twisted twigs

In anticipation

of newborn squabs

As spring starts

its seasonal cycle

Of resurgence

and new beginnings

If only

this applied to my frustration

At all

your addled broken promises

An ever

decreasing fallacious circle

Of blank

upright unsteady dominoes

Awaits collapse

from your final straw

Which you

will delight to fatally place

Oddly surveying

my bridges burning

A sense

of tranquillity envelopes me

Could going

be a blessing in disguise

For this time

there is no return to lies

As I am left

in isolation to recuperate

To heal

heart’s hurts and secret scars

beautiful Phill! i became absorbed in the heart of your protagonist .. intelligent use of the language says i .. just the right touches ... such an easy flow to follow ... fresh use of cliche'd wisdoms ... i think this is a keeper sir! great reading experience ... sparks my empathy for sure ... :(

Powerful imagery and much hurt in this well written poem Phill. Broken promises are the pits. Raised hopes shattered and left bleeding. Great poetry.

I don't really give out reviews, cause I am not good at giving them.
I do like this I found it quite intriguing. I enjoyed reading it in between the lines.
It speaks of truth. Nicely written.

Cheers Jacob - why do 'mistakes' seem so much fun at the time we make them? Your comments are graciously noted - thank you … :-)
