Tread softly

Tread softly

 

 

Tread softly
You step on a fragile heart
Trampled under love’s weight
A collage of drained promises, mangled by fate.

 

 

Tread softly
These broken pieces are concealed awls.
piercing through aberrant emotions
if crushed by heavy footfalls.

 

 

Tread softly
for the shriveled soul may yet bleed
unable to bear the familiar throes

of unsynchronized love beats.

 

 

Tread softly
mindful of the besotted love shards
as the still smoldering embers
emit their final, dying sparks.

 

 

Tread softly
silent lyrics float unrestrained
oblivious to the reverberating echoes
Let hope linger in blissful ignorance again.

 

 

Tread softly
Treacherous mires cover the earth.
Subtle desire seeps into subdued hearts
When Love fights for a rebirth.

[Siddhartha]

Oh, this is bittersweet yet a beautiful ode to love, exhorting man to tread softly on matters a thing as fragile love and yet rooting for love in all its complexities and subtleties. The tone and cadence are haunting and captivating. Love this one.
