"Pieces"

when our dreams succumb infront of us.........the day for which we long seems fading.....physically we seem fine.....but the person inside ,,,,,,,he has a lot to say......

a box of glass as if in pieces

a dream as if murdered in sleep!

i gather the debris of my castle 

and move, to find a new place

my tears, acting as an adhesive

to the broken pieces of my heart

 along with the misery in my hands

compressing it to bleed out pain!

but still, the inside weeps

and i hide it, by talking out loud

i only wish, for a pat on my shoulder

a handshake with an angel!..............

to

put the pieces back together!

humans are very delicate one fall and we smash into pieces, sometimes when we do break in pieces. They never will be the same no matter how try to put everything back into place just like glass when breaks. Very well writen,
"to the broken pieces of my heart
along with the misery in my hands
compressing it to bleed out pain!"
That is very deep lines which I really like. nice peom

You look like a young person in your photo. Let me say that one gets stronger with age. Maybe not 'shatterproof,' but stronger. And everyone needs a 'pat on the back,' but the need lessens with maturity. One can know he did well, without being told. And as far as angels go, they are all over the place: in human form. You are one of them. Fine poem! --David

We certainly do shatter and it hurts, it hurts so much! But somehow, somehow, we turn around and around, near dizzy.numb until one day we discover the sun's still shining and the glass in the window is glinting and .. life isn't that bad after all.

Wonderful poem, thank you so much for sharing it. Hopefully by writing it you felt better, more hopeful

The first poem I have read from this poet, and a good one, like the organic nature of
the imagery, a good job.
