Fractured Flutterby

Fractured Flutterby

A Poem by Frieda P
"

An old battle cry...

"
Fractured, shattered 
              beyond recognition 
 this flutterby soul
  a fragmented disaster
             heart split of carnage, 
             mind in shambled pieces
                 puzzles of discontentment
          & disorder,
   disarray of life's abundant
                clear view
    Skies turned colorless chalk
                and dank umber 
Indigo ink blots
 and skywriting in crimson
stained this soul of
                 disgruntled umbrage
    & concrete fusions 
                   entirely of dim illusions
Merge my ancient foundation
                 with mortar and pestle
ground this butterfly warrior
                together for a design fit for
panoramic perspective
                          of vista's convictions,
     the jagged horizon
                   of my tepid bird's eye vision
    has been heltered shelterd 
you have tarnished my spirit
raped my soul,
 compromised, broken,
               crippled & depraved in your sake
my wings may be tattered and flawed
     I'll still fight this battle valiantly each day
                 you've not the best of me yet

"my wings may be tattered and flawed
I'll still fight this battle valiantly each day
you've not the best of me yet"

Wow, this is an amazing piece. The last line reminded me of the 'You Haven't Seen The Last of Me'
The wording of this write was powerful. You gotta keep strong and fighting. Fly high!

I`m feeling pummelled by your mortar and pestle, Frieda! This is a tirade of tired fluttering, but you have to keep flying, `cos the view`s better up here! P.
