“where do broken hearts go?”

where do broken hearts go to die?
to the sky

who collects fallen tears in jars?
twinkling stars

who will rescue me from the night
the dawn’s light

now I know things will be alright
all my lost dreams made whole once more
and my heart won’t cry anymore
to the sky, twinkling stars – the dawn’s light


- Written for dVerse Open Link Night #174.  The poem is written as an ovillejo poem, which is a Spanish form of poetry. popularized by Spanish Poet Miguel de Cervantes.  You can read more about this form at Writer's Digest Poetic Aside blog here.  This is my first ever attempt at writing an ovillejo open.  Hopefully I didn't mess it up to much.  Thanks for reading.

    Not familiar with the form. Will have to look it up....do love the idea of collecting tears in a jar and then perhaps, tossing them into the winds and watching them float up to join the stars. Lovely how you got me connecting with this one!
