Premium Member Devastated By Guilt
I'm so sorry I brought tears to your eyes, 
each drop has grievously pierced my heart. 
I wish to ease the pain each tear implies, 
your sadness is tearing my world apart. 

I lived the dream when you were by my side,
unaware my flirting was...

Take me out of here and, 
Never bring me back to this dungeon

Premium Member Devastated
The thunder peals so loud I hold my ears,
and shut my eyes against the fulgent flash,
as lightning slashes through the blackened sky.
Oh, please, have mercy, give me one more day.

I've laid my stillborn son within her arms,
cocooned in quilts she'd sewn before the fire.
The agony...

Devastated
It’s hard to ease the pain,
Of something hoped for dearly– 
To try to hide the hurt,
When bruises show too clearly

The loss of what we thought was real,
Has left a hole in both our hearts,
And though I know our wounds will heal,
It's hard when good things...

A Devastated King
Life was good, just like food.
In the wood, I was in a good mood.
My body was fully cool like water in a pool

I was feeling in my divine kingdom.
Living an evocative and peaceful expedition.
I felt in paradise, and never dreamt dying alive.

Today, your mark in...

Premium Member Too Devastated To Howl
wolf stands at top of only timber he can find
studies barren wasteland 
which used to be home
destroyed by man’s fire 

lone wolf keening 
searches for lost mate
not understanding this devastation
hating man more than ever before 

family gone
clan gone
lone wolf, stands alone 
too devastated to howl...

A Bright Start
Finding myself devastated in the middle of the run, 
I built up the courage to start with the new rising sun. 
With thoughts of all the encountered failure coming one by one, 
Making my life look like a piece of pavement unwieldy done, 
I snuggled...

Shadow
Just a shadow
of who I used to be.
My heart has been scorched
my soul sun bleached
Both full of holes
and ragged edges
I gave up what defined me
I dropped my morals
I raised my boundaries
and I've pushed everyone outside
of the walls I have erected
around me.
Still I smile
I hug, I...

Sonnet 18 'Oh Now, the Words That Should Have Come'
Oh, Now!  The Words that should have come, too soon
Do fade away and into Paradise!
All that I would have said in that white room,
Is fall’n to naught!  I’ve mightily paid its price!
I reassured you, after you were crying,
That I would Always Come –...

Sonnet 19 'How Strange It's Hard For Me To Wash Your Clothes'
“How Strange… it’s Hard for me to wash your clothes:
They will be put away for the last time…
They’ve stayed ten months in small piles, and, who knows?
They won’t be done, before I write this rhyme…”
I can’t give up her coat – she will be cold…

An Epitaph
The days of happiness skedaddled
And made a grimace out of the wrinkled face
Which in a drunken stupor , saddled
With the burden of desires , unlike a sage
Broke into a lugubrious psalm.

Spurs hallucinated, hampering the vision
Hitherto held the verbosity to the mind.
Brevity , the soul of...
