Tessellated Heart

Cracks...

Lover of yesterday
You rise and shine
Fragmented into pieces
Yet coated with art

Colored teardrops
Harmonic cries
Tessellated walls
Of your broken heart

Author's Note

Tessellate: to form or arrange in a checkered or mosaic pattern

Wow, that was very nice, Dhaye! You were very conservative with your words and it had a very modern, focused feel and the carefully chosen words were very thought provoking. 'Colored teardrops' was an especially wonderful choice, as it conveys a variety of meanings, and perhaps the one who is weeping is experiencing a mixture of emotions that make the teardrops colorful. Very nice poem! Also, another word that has been added to my brain's dictionary.

Thank you, Eddie.

A beautiful but necessarily-brief exploration back to yesterday, and the subsequent fruits of its labor.
You continue to blossom in your craft, Dhaye, and I'm proud, knowing what goes into that.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much, A. I am so glad you liked this.

yes, ex lovers make for great poems, don't they?
they color our teardrops and they put hues in our ink, as we write them down.

Right, sir. I am glad that this poem out of a verse only which I made into 2 verses (each verse is a couplet) appears as a good piece.
Thanks a lot for spending your time here.
