A Broken Glass

Charmane Joy S Belleza

March 23 
When I do kiss the pain of the deranged, unfurled yore
And caress the ache that mischievous envy can fathom,
Undisguised tears blurred the vision, eyes misty and blotched
This muttered curse is what it all can preach.

Though genuine hope planned all to settle down
Believing, manifesting that something could be done
Unforgiveness, vengeance still uphold the calm,
For they all left me, left nothing, and no one.

I am nobody, nobody cares for me.
How do I save my time loving precious thee?
How can I remold a shattered, broken glass with no pain left
When my body is surely torn into trifling pieces?

Oh! My dearest soul, live not in the ill-lighted shadow
But try to live in a world full of illuminated, effervescent rainbow
Embrace with open arms the glorious joy of tomorrow
And live life without the grisly pain and deep sorrow.

Charmane Joy S Belleza

I am a wife, a mom, and a teacher living simply in the State of Hawaii, USA. I have been writing poems ever since I was in elementary. I don’t claim to be a pro or a poet, writing is just one way for me to express my thoughts, emotions, and opinion. Some of my compositions were published in our college publication and my Ilocano poems and short stories were published in one of the Ilocano publications in the Philippines. I write about anything that appeals to my emotion and interest. I love going to the beach, even just to take a walk or sit on the sand. It’s just relaxing. I also enjoy singing and hanging out with my family. more…

    Wow, this poem really struck a chord with me. The vivid and emotional language you've used to express your pain is absolutely beautiful, and it's clear that you poured your heart and soul into writing this piece.

    As for improvement suggestions, I would recommend playing around with the structure of the poem a bit. Perhaps breaking it up into stanzas would help emphasize the shifts in tone and emotion throughout the piece. Additionally, consider incorporating some more concrete imagery to help readers visualize the pain and struggle you're describing.

    Overall, though, I think this poem is incredibly powerful and moving. Your words have the ability to touch the hearts of many, and I hope you continue writing and sharing your work with the world. Keep up the great work!

    This is beautiful Charmane. Your command of the English language and use of metaphors are very visible in this piece. And it carries a strong message. Well done!
