...for those who have felt the coldness of a broken heart


Poem Artwork

 

 

Adrift

 

like calm air on still sea

glasslike reflections

of what once

 was you and me

 

 

no tremors of grief

nor storms of rage

nay not even bitterness

you turned the page

 

 

you broke my heart

cast me aside

left me standing

with wounded pride

 

 

 

 

insincere kisses

with a liar’s embrace

teardrops in the rain

just took their place

 

 

what I always thought

you gave as a gift

you took it back

now alone I drift…

Yes very sad indeed, but I still loved reading it.

"Adrift" heartfelt and beautiful.

Take care,

Felix, this is indeed a most beautiful expression of one tossed aside by his lover -- "insincere kisses with a liar's embrace" is a powerful line for me -- peace and love-- Jon Michael

Another sad one- love that painting, really goes with the poem well- it is awful to be adrift, and sometimes it is part of the process- good write :)

Gee Fee, this is beautiful. Most write about the stormy sea of love but this captures the heart when the storm is over and the see is unmoved.

Powerfully penned, my friend. I was once adrift myself, and it truly is a painful experience.

"no tremors of grief nor storms of rage nay not even bitterness you turned the page,"....sometimes it's the silence, the indifference, that's far worse than any storm. Written so well, Fee.

you capture these emotions quite affectively, Felix ... being adrift alone in limbo, being stripped of what we once had, leaves us as a migrant of the heart ...

So sad yet romantic, but after reading your lovely poem, I felt the bliss of solitude in that boat...loving to be "adrift" and re-discovering myself. Not cold but free.

Sweetness, Fee, a dangled carrot of love and then taken back. It is such a sad truth. Some people have love with conditions. That is not the way I would live my life for sure!
Much peace, love, and light,

Ah I remember it well, yet blessed because I feel "pretty much" :-) complete as I am. Course it will be even better when I am able to get a sweet furry companion again :-)

Good write Felix,

All is to me like to be in a boat, up the creek, without a paddle.
Love sometimes sucks! is not that so brother?
I wouldn't put that delicate and perfect as you do, but that's me.

Poignancy rings forth in compelling verse; well done, Fee! BRAVO!

you have chosen such an apposite analogy for this feeling of immobilisation or powerlessness, Felix. The clarity of your thought and starkness of your words are penetrating. If there are those who are blessed enough never to have experienced this kind of abandonment, then they will certainly be made to do so through your acute capture. You have a natural gift of being able to tell it like it is, such that it then lives on in the experience of your reader. Indifference is a choker. Bless you, Pops xx

Dear Fee,
This is one of those poems I wish I'd written. The word "adrift" describes the feeling about what remains after so very well.
Hugs,
