Broken Arms

Gerald Lee

With the slamming of my door
Words of pain run through my veins
As things you've thrown do more than harm
They chip away my feelings for you
I now sit covering my cheeks
Holding back cries of pain
While I look upon you in disbelief
Hoping you understand the silence
With which you've been asking for
Now I make my way to the opening escape
When suddenly the screen is ripping past my face
And I am slammed against the pavement
I turned to you and said
Just remember love can't hold tightly
With broken arms

Gerald Lee

My poetry has always been derived from life experiences. I have had six poems published in chap books; one of which was translated across Europe (Broken Arms), which has been my pride and joy! I am a Pagan practitioner officially since October 31, 2009, and have loved it deeply ever since. I have a male lover of 19 years March 1st, 1994 to whom I have been hand fasted. I never considered my poetry to be great, I do however enjoy writing it and sharing it with others. I am currently working on one short story, while an older one is rough written and hiding in a box. I do plan to submit one in the not so distant future. I never know what to say here: So I will leave this with Love and Light; Blessed Be! Gerald more…
