Broken Beyond Repair

Poetry

Easy to get caught up in addiction Small taste to set some atmosphere One step from walking contradiction Some souls make others disappear Time wipes away fingerprints of life Memory is fleeting into the distance Goodbye stranger welcome to strife Growing numb with dull persistence Death hides...

  This really hits so many issues in just one short poem. For some reason it brings to mind the insane deportations…families torn apart. Probably because that’s my fear, my daughter…Muse on, my friend. I’m here for it

  Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Being an alcoholic who no longer partakes, I’ll say the biggest thing I’ve learned is how many people I hurt. When I was consumed by the disease, I couldn’t see that. I rationalized I was only hurting myself, that’s how hollow I had become. Appreciate you.

  Thanks. Something tells me I have a chance to make more money in the next 5 – 10 years if I do something unique.

  Pinkdreams, I love this poem! You spoke for all those stuck between the past and the future. Your courage is a wonder to behold. To set off after years maybe decades on this new adventure takes courage. I also enjoyed reading about the challenges you faced as a teacher. Love the tone you set for this poem. Enjoyed this much.

    Thanks, John. I have nine teaching days left, and it feels like too much. I’m going to give myself a month off, and then see what kind of new path I can forge.

    Thank you so much Damian. Your words here are deeply appreciated. My muse for this poem is in her fifties but ageless and timeless as a Goddess. Much gratitude.

    Thanks so much Visions. Much of the credit goes to my muse, a woman who has inspired me for many years. Her fifty-something beauty if ageless and timeless.
