Love Mosaic

This is a love poem about how hurt and pain changes a relationship, but if its worthy then it can be repaired, although it may be forever changed.

 

Love Mosaic

 

Charcoal in hand I sketched your face,

Drawing from my heart’s nostalgia

Catching the glint in your eye

The mischief on your lips.

 

You tore it to shreds.

 

Paint brush in hand I painted your form.

A flourish of strokes captured your passion,

The color I perfected

My technique was unique.

 

You cut it to pieces.

 

Clay between my fingers I molded your gentleness

The warm terracotta stretched until

You were there with me, flawless

The lines and texture were precise.

 

You smashed it to bits.

 

So, I gathered the pieces

Placing them in a box

And each day I pull out a piece,

Meticulously gluing them together.

 

Once pristine and pure

My love has changed

It’s now cracked and bizarre,

Quirky and battered.

 

The colors dance and join

The shapes mesh and bond.

Without the broken pieces

There could be no love mosaic.

This is def one of your best. Perfectly chosen words placed poetically together, I get the feeling that a lot of thought has gone into this, as to how to work it. It's very thought provoking and almost cryptic, you have to read it through a few times before coming to any conclusion. Only because I've read it before and heard your thoughts on it, that I can comprehend how you were feeling. Really have missed reading your work! x

Shattered vestiges of life; love tossed and broken. You've depicted the damaged feelings with poetic clarity.

Exceptional.

Love is a mosaic: A picture painted with pain, joy, forgiveness and hope.
Great combination of thoughts and words. They blend well to come up with such a vivid imagery.

Beautifull poem, a broken love. He was once able to make lovely mosaics beacause of his love, for her. But she didnt like it and his heart was broken. Therefore he could no longer make nicely fitted mosaics. This is a spectakular love poem, filled with heartbreak and saddness. Another great write Honeypot!

An amazing poem what else can I say?

Sometimes the broken pieces can be repaired and placed back just so. Sometimes there are pieces missing or cracked.

A love is fine china and when it breaks the pieces never quite fit back together.

Peace

I haven't read any of your other works yet so I can't say anything comparatively, however, this IS a beautiful poem. The poem has good form, rhythm...it flows very nicely. :) Your usage of words is quite eloquent.

Actually it inspired me, I want to pull out my art kit and create something.

This is fantastic..Form and style are magnificent and you capture the anguish of how lost love can twist the insides with amazing perfection!

This sounds so regretful and sad to me. I like the hopeful thought at the end of it though.

I loved the line "Drawing from my heart's nostalgia". That is very nice and inciteful.

This is a very artsy piece. The structure and form, along with the nice flow and story inside, all adds up to a wonderful piece of writing.

Very nice.

The knowledge the brings this passionate, artistic poem together is excellent, the idea of a mosaic
being glued piece by piece, one day at a time reveals the intentions most craftedly. I love this
and it is a pleasure to read, thre reasons why, the wording, the clariting and the refine feature
allows the reader to fully understand which is a major contributor to quality. I feel sadness,
pain, heartache from times past, and building the future through meticulous means, stunning job

Gluing together the pieces of a shattered relationship. This poem is very moving and symbolic. I picture a woman trying her best to make the love last and her lover recklessly abandoning her but in the end she becomes jaded and settles for what ever she can get....theres no such thing as a perfect love? I don't know if my perception is accurate. However, I believe that is the beauty of Poetry, each one of us takes from it something unique to ourselves. Wonderful Poem.
