Splinters of Truth
The mirrors of the moment reflected
My breaking heart:
Feverish passion
Loneliness and despair.
Autumn leaves fall dead around my feet
Glorious life suspended for another season:
As time stops to heal the heart,
Fragment and fractured.
Splinters of truth
strewn amongst the dead embers of hope:
Disarray forms like icicles caught in the storm
Nowhere to take rest.
The mirrors of the moment reflected
my breaking heart:
feverish passion
loneliness and despair.
