Rivers of Pain


Shivers of pain trigger my pen
         To write and write
Till I forget this yen
         To cry aloud

Slivers of pain snig ger at me
         To fight and fight
Till I forget to see
         The dark grey cloud

Rivers of pain slicker than rain
        They smite and smite
Till I see red in my brain
        No tears allowed

Quivers of pain flicker through me
        They bite and bite 
Till I see black in the sea
        In anguish bowed

Sounds like an intense pain, but inspirational. I enjoyed the poem.

I think you were talking on an existential plane. Not about ordinary pain.. Which we all like to make a big thing of. That and death. As if death and pain made a difference. They just are. We all have pain. Especially if older Watch the blogs, see what I mean. Are they ever about life living or inspiration? No. Let the dead go. We Carry around corpses here like they wereGandhi or Shakespeare.. Watch the posts closings, Stay well..as if sickness was waiting to do me in. Not true, ugh. Anyway, wonderful poem. Should be a site called Pain Soup! Nobody care anyway Pangie,

Also nobody should get pain anywhere. there are many types and I have had some of the most unusual ones of all but I agree with you, the ear pain is a real bummer!!
