Broken Pearls

Time passed by
Were you walking with me?
Left over’s of yesterdays gone
Stored memories put away
Closed curtains steal the moonlights shine
I masquerading in leather, lace and Pearls
Became something I thought you wanted
Though it was just your disguise
Broken promises
Static phone calls
Please
I tell my audience
Learn my lesson well
I say, it’s not us really…
It’s their game
Cat
Mouse
Superman’s cape
I sat on his lap
Yes
Blindfolded
Love is blind after all
Trust
Screaming I always knew it was my biggest mistake….
So I lay here now in dead silence
Ripping pearls
Ripping lace
It was never me anyway….
I was not leather
Or number one in your book
You were number one
I walk away
Laughing
At the tears
I spent on so many pages
Why?
Healing in what?
Time…..
Your letters caused a blaze
Made for good fire wood
Yesterday begins to smolder
Oh Dear….
Maybe it was just the pearls after all…..

Poem/ Rain Of Steel Tears

Darkness falls with pelting rains
Illuminated droplets reflecting pain
Steel like secret words of hidden fears
Striking, mocking, icy tears

Drifting by swift swirling winds
Held by forces out and within
Constricted by darkness, held in light

You’re the only one that can make it right

This is all I have without you here
Silence with mocking, icy tears
Falling darkness, pelting rain
Droplets of silver reflecting pain

The silver droplets reflect the pain
Darkness falls like steel rain

All the secret whispered hidden fears

Are the a head cold and lonely years
