Bruised Heart

Bruised Heart

A Poem by Courtney

Roaring noise above the sound
Of a broken heart
Corrupt sheriff makes his round
Severed from the start

Flooding tears flow down the street
Agony of pain
Chills the bone with blinding heat
Composure to feign

Feeble rays of covered sun
Trapped behind the cloud
You can't hide but you can run
'Fore wind removes shroud

My heart, my gut, forever bruised
A pawn, which simply has been used.

Well, you have used some of my favorite words in a poem. bad girl!! lol ....I'm kidding. I wanted to read you and wasn't thinking of commenting, but you are so beautiful when you are writing such lines as these. Especially when you are writing your quatrains with such heart, and short, sharp, and beautiful waves of this symphony-like to and fro roller coaster of emotions. That couplet in the end.... I'm not sure if it is because I read your poem about 5 times for whatever reason that cannot be so easily defined, even by another fellow poet who is used to crafting such words to get a point across and opinion to your creation, buuuut it was perfect!! It was perfect because each new quatrain introduced me to "hearing" you inside your poem, and when I read the couplet in the end, I was transported back to each quatrain to relive and experience the poem all over again. You trapped me!! lol What a gorgeous poem.... it may come across as dark to some and even romantic to others. I have found this poem to be romantic and selfishly wish I had been in my classiest of clothes atop a castle wall in a warm breeze to hear you read this to me when the sun is setting. ...sorry. I had to write that. : ) It is what I was picturing when reading you. Beautiful, Courtney... xoxo -Mark
