The Riddle Of The Broken Heart by Heromaniaa: 6:42pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
I just resumed poem writing after several years in hibernation. I wrote this last night and felt that I should just quit poetry all together ... comrades should I? What do you think!? RIDDLE OF THE BROKEN HEART What we never were and what we would've become Are like gyrating pastors And campaigning politicians They are one and the same And quite distinct Like the front and back Of your palm. In between this overflowing River of botched expectations Lie the tombstones of betrayed hopes. White washed by lies Of bloody spokesmen; pipers of seductive loins Let tabloids document Their hypocrisies... While I bemoan my heartbreak. My lover built me a castle of promises And left it swinging in the charged air Now it has crashed between us We stand at both ends of the debris Our hopes have collided And taken divergent routes Like public funds and basket of tithes. What do women want? That politicians steal? And preachers lure me to give God? |
