Flutter'd Dash

Breath that feels as shards of glass,

kneeling in the dust of vapored stars

fragmented pieces of a forlorn past

abandoned and bereft tracks of soul

haunted in the fear of the night

allusions of a faceless faltered grace

day breaks and tears still tremble

left in the quake of a flutter'd dash

Another heart wrenching read, you do write angst so eloquently, another favorite.

Absolutely lovely presentation!!

they say time heals all wounds, but they lie. Skin heals. Souls don't. There is always the hole...
But this is such beautiful aching writing.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Heartbreak is so difficult to deal with, particularly in the middle of the night. Your pain is beautifully expressed. Very fine poetry.

[Deron Alexis]

very well expressed friend the sadness could be clearly envisioned from your intelligent choice of words

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Frieda... Your music and russet
Autumn leaves enable me to breathe
the nip in the air of winter's notions.
Our past has many vapored stars...
but still... we hitch our wagon to a star.
We do not wonder how far... but wonder
at the light from which we shine. Your
Pen is surely dipped in love Devine.
truly... Pat

Stirring words, dear poet; quiet verses filled of sorrow and wistful eloquence.
