heart

as the night
falls down dead
in colourless thoughts
polluting inner eye
drifting about lifeless

waters in storm swell
creeping out of shadows
strangling emotions
choking the life
in the host

deep frozen chilled
cutting to the bone
in odourless pain pleas
battle in the clouds
without mercy

gasping crushing blow
the taste of cold steel
sweetly cut deep
in swollen red eyes
i bled on you

drained tired look
tearing emotions
sick to the stomach
knotted up tight
barking mad

the heart in pain cries
silent lips move
quivering ache
on barren land
parched the feeling

walking through the eye
a zombie
in the graveyard of death
heartless soul lost
lifeless the eyes

a mirror light within
deep burning fire
warms the heartbeat
each beat
fractured and broken

in the dark
alone
to die
is love
buried

Hi Liam.
Once again, a good write my friend but now I wouldn't expect anything less. The words spread easily like butter on bread, as always telling there own story. Let not the heart ache with every beat for out there in the dark there is a heart that beats in union with yours. Love is not buried for Love never dies.
You have a nice night Liam.
Catch you later.
Your friend,
MIKE.
On the flip side partner.

Hello Liam ,
love can sometimes be temporarily be "buried " ,
but can also be reborn and be as a phoenix rising from the ashes thumbs up
Sometimes we can feel love is never going to happen again , then like a bolt out of the blue it can just appear thumbs up
This poem describes heartbreak so well --but the human spirit will always win through in the end --each of us are capable of giving and receiving so much love - you use words very well Liam -warm regards Fiona wine
