Heart and Soul

by Love   May 26, 2017


Once your soul truly knows how to weep.

Or your heart learns the feeling of being broken.

It can never beat rhythmically as it once did before.

You will be left with pieces,

Never completely put back together.

Like a picture missing a puzzle piece.

Wind will whistle through its cracks,

Movement will begin to shift in its foundation,

And your soul never functions the same again.

Your heart starts to form scars,

Resembling a faded roadmap,

With no reprieve for that lost and weary road traveler.

It will leave you bereft and breathless.

And you will begin to question reality.

Your mind will relive every tragic moment,

And you will be left to drown in your own tears.

Unfortunately,

Once your heart and soul learns how to break

You just become another tragic story.

    One of two new poets I voted for this week that I haven’t seen as a judge before. Great to see new poets nominated and certainly worthy of their nominations. It was emotions conveyed in this poem that first drew me to this site many years ago, and ones that many, if not most can relate to. Do we ever truly heal? we are certainly changed. This poem certainly encapsulates all of that in an earnest and vivid way, and had me looking back down the road map I have traveled. Thank you for the journey, well done.

    Such a powerful and emotional write full of many sad truths-

    "Wind will whistle through its cracks,

    Movement will begin to shift in its foundation,

    And your soul never functions the same again.

    Your heart starts to form scars,

    Resembling a faded roadmap,

    With no reprieve for that lost and weary road traveler."
