a promise

then in a moment of self-pity 
your smile was there 
spreading hope over me

Laying here, and all I can do is weep.
Soothing sympathy is a rare thing for me
As I cry tears of sorrow and empathy....

fuels smiles, laughter, hope and forgiveness
while, fears, tears, self-pity and despair fuel
Hate

   Often when it rains or snows...

Storm clouds gather in the skies of my brain
   Releasing rivers of self-pity and pain...

Her softness is erotic and sublime,
And later when she vampires all my time
I’ll bid her leave.  But she’ll refuse....

self-esteem
      unfolds,
pillars
     crumble
       ..unseen-
shattered..
           desire
           frittered away
in self-pity..
         leaked 
         into life's abyss
of
tears...

You either make it happen 
Or you chase a better opportunity 
The one thing you do not want to do 
Is drown in self-pity 
Now is the time
To get it together
Make something of yourself 
Get at it and do better...

O bviously attention starved as a child
S orry excuse for a human being
E merging from a place where dung was piled
R ejected for a lack of talent

Loneliness is a stale donut
Forgotten and left in box
For how many days now?
How many days!
Takes as self-pity
Eating the donut it tastes like pain
And sickness rising in my throat
For I remain and the box I throw out...

Red tears,
And black filled fears,
Of all the harrowing years,
I held in my diseased heart.

Does my excruciating soul even know?
How deep my self pity flows?
How much my torture grows?
When will my yellow really start?...

Love Chemistry...

I dive deep in your ocean blue eyes
In pursuit of  pearls of emotions,
Ego,
Self-pity,
Pride,
All dissolved on the way...

I the solute,
You the solvent

WE the solution of Love...

@ 'dusk'.......

moments test us
months possess us
days go by in etched fog of illness
too clear to be a lesson
no time for self pity

moments of zero pain
make the heart sing
restore possibility
almost opens the future

cautiously,  I test hope...

What ills you elicit with your mordacious tongue
shackled am I, while you trifle with my love.
You horde my affections with a cartridge of conceit
then loiter in self pity as I, wizened, exit with relief.

She was a wanderer
A ferrel stray
An awkward blunder
A grave mistake

Living in shadows
Sensitive to light
Unable to grow
In the dark of night

Full of self pity
The saddest story of all
Nothing more than a kitty
Too proud to crawl...
