With The Absolute Very Best Of Love

Teddy.15

 
 
 
I'm going to turn my broken heart inside out
 
and shake it fiercely until 
 
all the disappointment
 
all the brokenness and pain 
 
grief and loss 
 
every last bad memory 
 
along with all my sorrow 
 
the suffering and humiliation
 
leaving it all, where it belongs in the gutter
 
washed away by the next rain shower
 
finally with the empty space it deserves
 
eventually, to be refilled 
 
with the absolute very best of love.

      A great metaphor and each heart could use a periodic cleaning. The imagery of shaking out and cleaning a purse is one that somehow gives a great sense of pleasure and feeling of renewal. Loved it Teddy

        Metaphorically speaking it's the best thing in the world, empty the lot and let it be filled with all the best of love, thank you dearest sorrenbarret, I always look forward to your wonderful words upon my scribbles 🌹

        A constant process of filling in and washing away then filling up again…. Clean as we go.

            A great declaration. These things happen and there always seems to be rain in-between. With a new determination, hope may bring the love that is being sought. - Phil A.

              Thank you dearest Phil, I'd say this is a poem that's been lingering for 25 years since I was in my early 20's I hope never to have to empty my heart again, but that's the charm of love as nothing is guaranteed 🌹
