Tape And Glue Poem by Tiffany Rose Moczydlowski
Tape And Glue
''My heart is very fragile, held together
By a bit of tape and glue.
It can't handle being shattered again;
Keep it safe and hold it close,
So that it might heal.''
Unable to deal with another blow,
I gave you the opportunity to
Revive or repress my happiness.
Would you dropp my weakened heart
All in due time?
I couldn't predict the outcome.
You worked your way into it.
The tape and glue fell away
As you took their place in
Piecing it together and repairing my wounds
With your tender love that fills
The once gaping, hollow spaces where
Missing components were never regained
And the cracks that were forged
Through the most powerful of pressures.
The last remedy that has a possibility
Of succeeding is your time, your love,
And your life.
For now my heart is strong,
With your essence infused within it,
But if you were to attempt to
Abandon it, when you provide its
Only structure, the slivers that remain
Would hardly be salvageable
And forced to be scrapped.
You've made a permanent mark
On this once battered, worn,
Torn and tattered heart, and
It can no longer survive without you.
I read this after reading Wind and the Winds and I think this is a thousand times better; you threw away the baggage of trying to sound like somebody else, and seem to have a voice that is more acclimated to yourself and makes you unique. The tape and glue fell away As you took their place in Piecing it together and repairing my wounds With your tender love that fills The once gaping, hollow spaces where Missing components were never regained And the cracks that were forged See this is what’s great, fantastic use of similes and alliterations which don’t sound hackneyed from other works, this is all you and that is why I think it is really great.
Now this one had a emo-love genre/theme that makes sense. keep it up with other genre/theme's such as horror or comedy or any of them :)
I like the idea, it was creative and the flowing is easy to capture and to feel..it really nice as a whole poem! so keep writing for your next idea. Idea will never stop but you must take it easy and free so your idea could be always you and original..keep writing! and thanks for inviting! _Unwritten Soul
One impulse I feel when reading a poem which I wish to re-read some time later, is that poetry allows us to explore our innate aptitude to find parallels, similitude, metaphors and inter-connections in the world and life. (In 'Hamlet', the protagonist (who has psychic problems we may recognize) twits Polonius the courtier who agrees with the young Prince that a cloud is shaped like a camel, a weasel and a whale. (Act 3, Scene 2) . So 'tape and Glue' to mend a broken heart can pass perusal, if not conviction: be literary, not literal. So poetry transforms a romantic, sentiment or convention into something else, intangible, but not inaccessible to the imagination. Make them think anew. AM
Truly a most beautiful write..... tape and glue.... yes, I know that welll.
Not bad, the theme is well worked at, the idea itself not new, and perhaps the central metaphor tires towards the end, but a poem that will be liked
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
