Jagged Pieces
Confusion and hurt
when life and love
are fragmented images
in a broken mirror
Jagged pieces
of partial pictures
forcing them to fit
does not make them clearer
Love seen only
in the abstract
where sometimes
it was a safe place to be
Life in reality
too arduous, difficult
a price to pay
and a yearning to be free
But a magnanimous heart
always gives benefit
to a multitude of doubts
A habit to woo the nemesis
Glueing back the pieces
of a fractured life
Compassionate and forgiving
Awaiting a new genesis

Youโre always welcome Christine
I like your rhyme scheme very much. It’s a nice contrast – the orderly framework of the poem with the chaos it describes.
Thank you Sarah. I really appreciate it ๐๐

Well done Christine! As I read your poem this came to mind: The shattered pieces in the end cement together to become the mosaic of our fife!
Oh gosh Dwight that is lovely. You should write a poem using those words. Iโll be looking for it!๐
I will write mine and you write yours and we will see how they blend! :>)
I did write one called Mosaic a while back. It was about all of us living in harmony. Here it is:
