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 pieces
on the bedside floor'
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! :-)
