Shatter me ~ to pieces

Shatter me ~ to pieces

A Chapter by Dr. YumnaKay
"

Experimental.

"


Shatter me
to pieces, I thought,
as my fingers killed time,
tracing the blues of
your ink, faded.

Shatter me 
to pieces, I thought,
as I sat and sat, looking 
through the glass window,
flashes of pretty pictures passing 
in fast motion, obscured.

Shatter me 
to pieces, I thought,
as I paced around my room, 
my heartbeat the sound of 
thunder and my breath, laboured.


And shatter me
to pieces, untouched.

i feel this one for sure..the repetition works particularly well says i ...there are almost terrifying moments we are shattered ...its numbing ... almost makes one sick to the stomach ... i like bringing the "outside" world into the scene as we are all connected to it no matter our personal experiences ... but in this one .. that world is un-graspable as it blurs by ... i don't think i would change much on this if anything ..it is very complete to me ...maybe expand imagery, colors and scents somehow ... but not needed to create this poignant moment ..and i love that pic ...along with your title the first thing i see is the shattering of her face ...in horrible grief ..good stuff Dr.

I love the way you’ve crafted this message with gracefulness more than drama. As always, your writing is super original & you pick vivid details to make your writing pop. This reminds me of how some people can be unknowingly crushing a person just by disregarding him/her . . . kinda like my birth family! *sigh!* Fondly, Margie

Thank you.. read more
Thoughts and emotions taking us to distant places only we know and understand ourselves- the effect of emotions reeling and heartbeats ceasing according to words spoken or written and thoughts of how to perceive each one- ink fades, but memories remain forever- wonderfully written🌹

I am sure others will have their takes and I have mine. When we are strong, and we stand against one who tries to shatter us with their words and actions, sometimes we come out the other side better, intact.

I used this piece of artwork for a poem "Historian" long ago. It struck something so deep within that I stared at it for a long while. I instantly felt that depth here today. Your words to me to an even deeper meaning.

That's a lovely way to describe that feeling.
Picture and poem so evocative and filled with emotion. Verses raw with pain? Desire?...provoked by ink on a page....Repetition of title as first line of verses, and breathtaking last two lines- dramatic, raw. “ And shatter me to pieces, untouched.”- pow! magnificent write.
