The Puzzle Mag - 54





Come night
the pieces 
on the bedside floor.
 attacking them with 
single minded devotion
joining, disjoining
the chaos 
the mind swirls in.


simple enough
at first glance
some fit like 
they are born to it
others belong 
so obvious elsewhere
trying desperately


fails to find
the lost one
the missing piece
of her lonely heart...

'Come night

The clue was there to your poem-puzzle but I missed it. Lovely idea, your heart as a puzzle with one piece missing... hope you find it! :-)

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D

Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
