Teacup
I once held love loosely
in the palm of my hand,
a delicate, fragile thing;
tripping over complacency,
I dropped it and watched
as it shattered on the floor;
frantic, I gathered the pieces,
nicked and bleeding
for my efforts;
and. although it took
a mastic of heartache
mixed with a thousand tears
to make them stick,
I made something new;
no less delicate, or fragile
perhaps even more so now,
precious and holy for its scars

Dear L,
I enjoyed and appreciated this poem. It reminded me of the human heart. How fragile it is especially when broken. Putting it back together leaves a fine web of scars but it will still beat. This is a beautiful love poem. H🌷

Whether talking teacups, feelings, or egos, it's the same with all of them. Nice write.

I'm digging these deep and profound spills that bring about some reflection.
Great write Luna.

Re. Teacup
Love and you flew off in different directions from fragile scars...
... the return has been unavoidable and the wait has been strong.
The central thesis of the poem is that love has wisely become part of the material world.
Thumb up.
