Can poetry help heal a broken heart?
Are you feeling devastated by losing the love of your life? Has divorce broken your heart into a million pieces?
It can make you feel as though you cannot go on and that you will never love again.
Clarissa O. Clemens found herself drowning in the pain of a broken heart. She took her pen in hand and began processing all of those feelings writing poems of hopeful verse providing solace to her aching heart.
Here are some samples of the poems included in this Collection you will be purchasing:
Abyss of Nothingness
Existing in the abyss of nothingness
Floating in the great beyond
Clinging to the feeling of weightlessness
Dreaming of the unbreakable bond
Sinking into swirling seas
Trusting the future to the powers that be
Twirling spirits creating clouds
Searching for you within the crowd
I find you peaceful waiting there
Our eyes connect in a loving stare
Warm embrace holds us tight
Not letting go, not losing sight
The fear of loss that weighed heavy on my heart
Has left me now to begin a new start

When and How
Dreaming our meeting
Into the now
Eagerly awaiting
The when and how
Do I know your name?
Where your heart resides?
Have you kept it tucked away?
So lonely it hides
I almost feel your breath,
Though we have never quite met
The smell of your skin,
The lure of your scent
Fate will find us together,
In the same place in time
Once I find you, my love,
Into your arms I will climb

Loving Myself First
Fluttery feeling
Fading fast
Holding onto dreams
You thought would last
Slipping away only to betray
The trust you had invested
Had failed after tested
What we had once called 'us'
Became empty and ambiguous
The 'we' became me
The bond was forever gone
The 'you' went astray
My broken heart on display
Alone in my loneliness
Finding strength
From my coldness
Anger helps to heal
Erase the numbness so I can feel
Direct my life with new meaning
Moving ahead done with grieving
Opportunities await my future state
Ready to create and contemplate
Who I am and who I want to be
Loving myself first
To truly set myself free
