Best Anguished Poems

Casting dark upon a vacant page
Ghosts appear expressing rage,
And mirrored too in grim despair
Troubles loom of which I bear!

Tho’ each thought lay blesséd not,
Yet my demons there are wrought
And shadows shift upon each line,
For alas these torments thus are mine!

Great sorrows many hold my fate,
As...

The flowing lava
Bright and hot deep inside me
Brings anguish to heights
Heights above any feelings
That might look like burning ash

Pain is enveloped
Deep within the fires of Earth
The bowels catch flames
Burn the desires to live
Molten fire burns any hope

I have replaced you, pitifully,
many times in rooms
within my soul.
Everywhere, there are
passageways curling
boxes of draggled vesture.

My spirit, like the
static of negligee,
gums and forms into
a faultless mount.
As it clings to me,
I set aflame with desire.

Close your eyes.
Let me blind you.

Assassinate me
until I bleed red
like holly berries.
Then,...

Stricken with anguished nausea

Written three years ago tomorrow, 
yet superimposed (likened to 
emotional palimpsest) upon 
mental state of yore
recent post traumatic stress 
triggered courtesy war
torn legally tendered greenbacks, 
where enemy bonded, heisted, and netted 
mine life savings, he 
(who fabricated conspiracy 
implicating Citizens Bank employees,...

Anguished Winds, Carried Feverish Cries

 
I rested upon a barren stone slab
When winter's breath had frozen me so stiff
In my dark abode, all was silently drab
Of meadow flowers not even a whiff.
Above the tingle of dawn's waking skies
Within its aura, a whispering death
Anguished winds, carried...

Anguished 

Lord, I feel a plethora full of pain.
My faith and my hope slowly begin to wain.

Where are you? Are you there?
I cry out to you, but; a whisper of a prayer.

Tired of giving up, I want to breathe my last breath.
To rest my weary...

Morning meditation 
With mission and vision 
To understand nature 
And Nurtured my being,
Morning breeze blew
My mind to surmised 

Darkened, smudged, 
Blurred to the darkness realm,
Merciful Messiah turn merciless..
And Cursed the sinful souls..
Deep to the depth of hell, 
Anguished and torment 
gnashing of teeth without tears...

Hello to you and your sweet eyes,
Ah, this—a piece from heart I made.
Now listen well, be truth or lies;
No twist of words, I'm quite afraid.

After a week since meeting you,
How swiftly did these feelings fell.
Before them all, at once I knew:
I've been bewitched under your...

Did you hear the anguished cry
A call unanswered as you went by
Can you bolt out on the sound
As the cry reverberates around

For you may have struggles of your own
And to you unable to find your track unknown
But others may need your now
Buck up and take...

She was his devoted and loving wife and then came those pitiful, anguished nights..
She counted the cries, the bruising and prayed for an end to his confusion.
His night frights that she was observing had  become quite unnerving..
In their bed he lay restless, squirming, what...
