"The Green Bruise of Daylight" 

A person can die for love
one sees red
the other sees blue
purple bruises

one sees red 
alarm lights siren
purple bruises 
detach into the grey

alarm lights siren
there is no more singing
detaches into the grey
courts fuelled by pocketsful of lies

rocks and gavels 
for the...

Emotional Bruise
Emotionally pinched
bruises the mind
blinds the eye from seeing
internal scars still bleeding
denial of the worst kind
feelings left behind
alone and distraught
in shadows of black and gray
surrounded by emptiness
.
Heart in shreds
gloom and dread
torn apart thoughts
doors of communication closed
beyond reach in saving
numb in soul
crying inside for help
prisoner of pain...

Bruise Me
You always try
to break me down
you always try to knock me out
damage me with just your words
not physical but it still hurts
and all you do is make it worse.

You bruise me
Cut me with your tounge
Brutalize me, cut and binding
as my blood pours from the scars.
You...

Broken Dreams Don'T Die, They Just Bleed, Bruise, Heal and Require
Broken dreams don't die. 
They bleed. 
They cry out for somebody to believe, believe me everybody cries sometimes. 
Even me 

Have you ever wondered what happened to those dreams we ignore 
Do they turn into nightmares in a rage 
Or do they simply fade away....

Deep Enough To Bruise the Soul
He didnt know the wounds would go
Deep enough to bruise her soul
She lay there froze when he arose
She replaced her battered clothes
Rather the blows from clydesdales toes
Or the fate of conquered foes
This painful load forever to hold
A friend not stranger from her stole
He didnt think...

Premium Member Living With Mother Nature's Bruise
We turned to each other when we heard on the news
Our daughters place of work, enduring mother nature's bruise
She worked on an island now swamped with wrath
To her we now travel to retrace her last path

To go there blind never knowing if she breathes
Thoughts think...

Aching Bruise
Everyone is getting ready
 For the Holidays already.
Shopping, rushing around,
 Yet in sorrow I do drown.

Their photos I came across
 I feel pain, agony, the loss
For my life is an empty shell
 It is my own special hell.

My babies are gone
 And I am withdrawn.
Aching...

The Sound a Bruise Makes
The sounds a Bruise makes



Laying here without you tonight,
brings back memories of that awful fight. 

What you said and how you threw your fist, 
And it makes me wonder if I’m really cut out for this.
 
I miss you when you are not here the...

Premium Member I Bruise Easily
Don’t get too close
I might shut you out, 
don’t talk bout love
I might add more bricks 
to the chamber that shields my heart, 

The fragile foundations 
of my ability to love without fear
can crumble at any moment
the warning sign says fragile heart 
protected at all...

Punching a Bruise
My fingers press on 
blue batterings 
for the craft of lavishing 
all the things that mattered
not a week ago.
 
I try to hate you
like a sticker on my puckered mouth
to take the light from my eyes
to make you rage and lash
crashing your jaw to think
that...

The Israelis can not agree
Upon whom their leader should be
They are told to pray
But what should they say -
Pronoun M, F, X, or all three?...

Premium Member Imprinted Self Message
Stubbing a toe hurts like hell
Count to ten or curse and yell
Never to learn, walking in bare feet
When suddenly brick pillar my foot did meet.

Limping, near crying I hobble indoors
My stupidity again put me in the wars 
Elevating my foot hoping pain quickly ease 
Controlling...
