WORN
when my heart was dishwater
rolling rock dust and powder
and all of my angels had gone back to heaven
feeding from pub nuts out of my pocket
when all was past and passed sweet caring
chutney and chips sweet delicacies
and all her hymns chimney ashes
fag packs beer caps bedded my morning
rain drips my bath water fell from the awnings
shoe bruised worn socks backwards walking
brittle and rattle through battle and warring
came a sweet love calling for me
rolling rock dust and powder
and all of my angels had gone back to heaven
feeding from pub nuts out of my pocket
when all was past and passed sweet caring
chutney and chips sweet delicacies
and all her hymns chimney ashes
fag packs beer caps bedded my morning
rain drips my bath water fell from the awnings
shoe bruised worn socks backwards walking
brittle and rattle through battle and warring
came a sweet love calling for me

Post modern love poem with a hint of romance, a moon beam shining over a dark alley...

urban tragedy, yet romantic. I see a fallen knight drawn to a divine light...

Tragic but not without a hint of irony. I love the unexpected happy ending :-).

aye miss Chi in the midst of despair there can come that moment when you catch yourself in the act of depression stumbling like a clown - playing a part - waiting in the wings for a better role to play!

I especially like the opening couple of lines but the whole write has a great feel / flow about it. I s'pose if there was anything at all that seemed a bit out of place (to me) it would be the fourth line, seems to break the continuity of the previous few, I'm not sure why exactly, could be feeding clashes with the past tense, maybe try 'who fed' or some such wording that would bring that line into the past.
either way, a decent offering good fellow
good stuff

That's great Craic - I've gone back and forth with feeding and fed to - and left to create distance with the third line - much appreciated.

"when my heart was dishwater
rolling rock dust and powder"
Damn. That makes my poets ribs hurt. Well wrought.

When your weary soul has got tired of it all: the pains and suffering caused by past love, it's good to know that you find love in the end...bittersweet it is!
[rain drips my bath water fell from the awnings]
"drips" contradicts with "fell" in terms of tense
Over-all, well done...

This is creative but retains a grounded, earthy sense in its images. It touched me.
