Best Cathartic Poems

listen,
the whispers
of leaves
turn colour
autumn is here.

now that you are gone
who will wake every morn
to lift the sun
unveil the sky
etch in the clouds
who will paint the rainbow?

i used the fiber of my character to...

Age twenty-one, so young...was I 
I scribbled words, so time could fly 
I've always liked to riddle and rhyme 
So, I wrote a poem to pass my time 

John Lennon's name had filled my slot 
I wrote about...when he got shot 
So sad a day...I'll...

Cursing Cathartic

I blooming swear too much these days
It really is disgraceful.
Went from one not to boo a goose
To using words distasteful.

It happened by design you see
Set emotions free from me. 
From where they had long lain -
Damaging and wasteful.

Don’t get me wrong it was
Effective in...

To define the word cathartic
It means providing psychological relief
Through expressions of strong emotions
To substantiate one's beliefs

An example is a conversation
With someone 'bout their hopes and dreams
Hopes they have for themselves and family
Helping them stay on stream

Allowing someone to vocalize
Their anxieties, their worries, their fears
Can help...

the simple truth 
many do not speak 
many do not know 
many souls retreat...

the words do not lie 
the man behind does 

from president to priest 
history records acts of deceit 
unethical concerns exist 

unauthorized remorse 
life uneconomical 
people sent to die 

indifferent religion? 
gassed,...

The warm happiness melting to a cold frosty ice
We smiled and laughed through wraps, pork and rice
I stroll home through snow that soothes my ache
Days continue to merge untill from dream i wake
What do i do through my life as you come and go
I play...

Cathartic Eclipse 

I witnessed the death of the universe…
Tumbling, crushing, spinning
in the maddening chaos
of the spiral Time!

Eternity… ceased to exist,
Time… was no more,
my soul ripped asunder
the stars… show no more!

Pleading internally
I succumb my farewells,
emptied my concavities,
ashes of solitude reminded me
of quixotic moments
dismissed involuntarily 

you were...

Helper for heartbreak's dissipation
           Coat of slick paint covers pain
        His younger hair longer temptation
           Gives dead Romeo...

I tried to love her.
I so was anxious to love her.
A child can endure such abuse.
I have finally broken the noose.
 
She was unto a monster;
But a child’s eyes are naïve—
Even the bitterness of abuse seems 
Sweet in the eyes of a youngster.
 
O’ how...

MY    POETRY    IS    CATHARTIC

I write poetry about my fears.
Poetry is medicine for the heart,
The heart which has suffered 
Pain of isolation, rejection,
Felt the claws of loneliness
And choked in the prison  of solitude.
Misfit , different,
Outsider on...

She shivers with thoughts
and asks for fleece 
to cover her ears, her neck
her eyes.
Sinking into the comfort of skin
she wilts.
She weeps.
It's these thoughts when
the rest of the world is smiling
that are the coldest.
They knock in synapse rhythm:
Ping. Ping. Ping.
Faster and faster 'till the freezing begins.
Occasionally,...

Cathartic

The pernicious nature of you psyche,
 a keen weapon, you so often used on me

How will I ever get past all that I feel ?
How to make my heart into cold, gray steel ?

Loving you offered not – but a dead, end road.
Loving you has...

In the depths of solitude, a poet dwells,
A lover of words, where silence swells.
His heart, once vibrant, now laden with pain,
A life shattered, lost in a torrential rain.

A child, once joyous, his laughter's delight,
Now a memory that fades in the night.
A marriage, once promising, crumbled...
