Broken Dreams
my true love's ending
story of my broken heart
love baits me a trap
leaves me to wilt and die
harsh words from a poet
wrings all broken hearts
who is the fool who said:
“yes to love and loose
than never have loved at all?”
it is not i... it is not i...
i loved and died when my love
left me the moment I gave in
all I have is a soulful heart
how could love be so cruel?
this poem can't banish me
or garnish true friendships
I have broken the golden rule
all hearts yearn for make belief
not mine.... not mine.....
one lie exists: love does lie!
I broke the golden rule
“never to speak ill of love”
frames my arching back
cements my aching trails
bitter words my support!
Bridge to nowhere under my feet
angry lines line up one by one
confession guides my condition
fate says grow up kid!
character is formed by being broken!
such cruel intent dare I say
when pains rain dogs and cats
skies are dark my light fades away
depleted hope goes supernova
I cry like I never cried before
no poem can redeem my soul
would I forgive love ?????
devouring my one life
elopes my morning's promises
how can I love again …..when
her last breath fixated on my lips
i am the judge final gavel strike
life-the heart in me- ceases to be
hatred wilderness imprisons me
landlocked my boat from all seas
lament my pains oh broken waves!
destiny swells all broken dreams

Dear Kate
"Dreams" the chosen topic for our next week poetry soiree, we all have to write a poem on the subject, I also have been involved with a long love saga-strings of poetry- on this poetry web site with a delightful heart, a game of chess it is my turn to reply, these two issues weigh heavy on my heart,I felt my last two poems did not hit the nail on the head, I had to dig deep to produce a poem worthy of both events , your appreciative feedback on my poem puts this issue to rest, thank you dear Kate , now I can move on to other titles in my life!

Against the Rocks, The Heart Does Pound
Paul,
Such is love ... the swells ... the waves ... the constant beating of notes beyond staves. Against the rocks the heart does pound ... the memories broken ... the lonely sounds. If love could quest to bear no arms ... we would be passionate fires without smoke alarms. In simple truth, love can wear thorns, when the rose blossoms on a cloudy morn. It is not love that eats the soul, it is the feeling of being less than whole. Feelings, like the clothes we wear, are the fashion in our deep despair. Perhaps the love that's lost at sea ... is the love that needed to be set free.
Your poetry brought poetry to my soul. I weep for the depth of your heart ache; how deep you dove into the Dead Sea, only to surface and stay afloat in a heart's misery.
We have all been touched by the scorn of love. You have written a master's view and it was brilliant!
All my love,
Kathy :)

Only You!

Dear Kathy
Heart of the golden reply
if I may quote: "the constant beating of notes beyond staves" I know jealousy is a sin, I would sell my soul to have your poetic pose, I will hang up my hat , sit under a shady oak tree and write day and night, such delight even in pain from your poetry and prose , yes I consider each comment from your soul a stand alone poem, my "lonely sounds"
come from the fact dear Kathy you are not using your God give gifts full time, do we need money to live on, I suppose we do, your two part time jobs take you away from you purpose in life, poetry and music, time is purposely cruel
when it robs us from your voice, as I was writing my poem, your Beethoven shadow's beating in the background, I would say to myself, if Kathy had to write a poem on "Dreams" what would it sound like, feel like, touch like,
words are your devoted keys which unlock doors I could only dream of, take me there to your "Dreams" show the pupil
a master class in poetry, if I had your voice, the aah's and ooh's I hear from my poetry group next week!

Thank You Paul
Paul,
Inspiration is the dream and I am but the dreamer.
To fan the flame is to move the Spirit.
You move me dear sir. Thank you for loving me; it makes all the difference in my world and beyond.

Very moving, well-written poetry...
This is very moving, well-written poetry, Paul. Your writing in this comes to deliver an extremely high level of powerful and passionate emotion. I admire the way you were able to express such profound and intense feelings throughout the wording scheme, as the delicate nature of the subject matter is truly compelling. I find this work to be intelligent, creative, and wonderfully composed. Thanks, Paul, for sharing more impressive and worthwhile poetry.
Respectfully,

Dear Rex
When a broken heart weeps, ears weep too , and the soul reaps lament , sorrow finds it tuning fork , unlocks the doors to all minor keys, thank you Rex for reading my music by sight, this poem came from true lost, when truth is revealed not matter what even in pain, selfless expression becomes true art
Truly
Paul
