Broken Soul

I hope you enjoy it

 

Broken soul, torn and worn out

     Prisoner inside and out

Shadow of a cold dark past

Grieving angel and outcast

 

Broken soul of porcelain

Canvas overcast and so unclean

Remember how you were in your past days

Bright ray of Sun, pure drop of Rain

 

Wipe away the dust of sorrow

Relight the candle of tomorrow

Stand up, don’t kneel and crawl

Bravely carry on shoulders your heavy world

 

Child in Time and Son of Doom

Exhibition of scars made up of gloom

You wear on face double disguise

One side is happy, the other one constantly cries

 

You make yourself content with screeds

But make them look as if they’re what you need

You never found the place where you belong

You fear Time and people who forget your song

 

Name of God made up of sweat and tears

Heavy icon of those who can listen and hear

Over you Oblivion will never lie

Your name is carved in stones that never die

 

But souls are not made of dimes

Nor of fame and glorious times

They are like turtle doves

They need a pair and live through love

 

Broken Soul go find your love

Find your pair and through life together shove

Look for the soul who can complete your puzzle

And take your time to heal, don’t hustle

 

  

 

Look for the Angel whose eyes will never lie

To whom to give yourself without a blink of eye

The one who has the key your heart’s core to unlock

By your hand, until the end of time, through pain to walk

 

The one who’d never ask for compromises for her whims

But who would gladly follow you even in dreams

Her, who would smile at you every night and every day

And, when in doubts, would help you find the way

 

Her, whose voice gives you the feel you’ll never wilt

And who’d never let you bare a guilt

Her, who can chase away the darkness inside your heart

Who won’t ever again let your reasoning and heart break apart

 

Look for HER – the girl who can turn your shards back into a piece of Sun

Who can bring to life the canvas and reveal your colors one by one

The pair…soul mate….echo…half of a soul so broken

Find her and give your love for so long kept unspoken

 

 

 

Broken soul, worn out and torn

Caged behind a locked up door

Smile when you cry and dry out when you scream

Your life’s a nightmare, not a dream

You are afraid to stand up from the ground

You think to sadness you are bound

But it’s your fault that your hope died

You stopped believing and started downward to fly

And now you find yourself in a precipice so harmful and so endless

Where only your SoulMate could find you and heal you with tenderness.

A masterful undertaking. The description of the pain, sorrow and longing of the Broken Soul is sadly beautiful, truthful and I am empathetic for him/her. The longing and advice you give to find the Soul Mate is a quest so many are on and may be the only answer here. Well written and sublime. Thank you for sharing.
Light,

I actually just read this poem in the Shadowed Silence Magazine. I have to say it was one of the few poems that made my heart jump, particularly because it described so vividly what I'm going through now. Even though I'm really not looking for my soul mate right now, because I just got out of a relationship with a woman who I felt was my soul mate, this poem definitely captures the defeated feelings that I've been feeling lately.

[Kathleen Marie]

Excellent translation here. I love these lines, "But souls are not made of dimes, Nor of fame and glorious times"
Thanks for a great read.

[Poeticpiers]

An enjoyable read often something is lost in translation But your message sings clearly It takes two to one whole

[Blackbirdsong]

A translation and it also rhymes...no easy task there but you did a wonderful job. So often translations lose some of the original passion and depth of the work, that cannot be said here.

"Look for HER � the girl who can turn your shards back into a piece of Sun
Who can bring to life the canvas and reveal your colors one by one
The pair�soul mate�.echo�half of a soul so broken
Find her and give your love for so long kept unspoken"

Gorgeous

I would imagine translating is a difficult task in itself..so great job. This piece is the kind of writing that captured me in the beginning. Your gift is that you can turn words into pictures, and pictures into feelings. I love the depth of your writing. Simply put...beautiful. Rain..

[E. M. Murren]

Well you did a marvelous job translating it, although I never read it in the original. It is deep and magical. It sings melodiously. Truly a lovely work.

Your poem is such a supreme gift. Your writing brought tears with it's beauty. I'm taken back with the story here. I especially love your words: "But souls are not made of dimes Nor of fame and glorious times
They are like turtle doves They need a pair and live through love" What an extraordinary poem and translation this is. I adore this and I have a special place for it in my favorites library!
