Best In Pain Poems

Her reveries slant the compass of time: 1970s. Minefields now roar through blurred visions. She retreats into dots of space to live in the moment, as emotions fling to a gray sky. While curtains blow unceasingly, hours freeze. Again, love passes; leaves, while a young...

I wandered lonely, lost in pain
All I could do was weep,
A troubled mind, in unknown hills 
With chasms, dark and deep.

I did not know which path to take
Nor which way should I go,
I was seeking guidance
A sign, so I would know.

A light appeared before me

purified in the flame
cleansed in the rain
finding beauty in the pain

accepting the distain
of all that became
there's sincerity in shame

dim's the only pressing view
fog covers through and through
empty in the reach for you

breathing in a quaint defeat
the scent of hope's subtle retreat
familiar gloom sets on both...

In their dark and sunless 

caverns,

in their rooms

so all alone,

Help them light

the dimmest lanterns

let them know

a friend is home.

You were young

and you remember

how it was 

when all was lost,

they don't know that

by December

many rivers

will be crossed

They don't have a map 

to guide them

there's no compass

With chasms, dark and deep.

I have lost all distinction between day and night
A constant absence of darkness is provided by fluorescent light
No windows available to the outside world
Living in isolation sans any modern day thrills

Four bare walls, no bars, food slipped through a slot in the door
Eating with my...

Sometimes I feel like giving up
Because people have already given up on me.
Looking inward for hope.
Eyeing outward for reassurance.
Maybe my eyes cannot see.
I see no one; blackness cloaks my mind.
The light at the end of the tunnel leisurely disappearing.
Expectations quickly ending.

Sometimes I feel like dying
Life...

I won't mention one by name
But I wish they'd forecast some rain
A shower or two
or better, a few
This dought's now causing some pain...

Why must he be so mean
and cause my heart such pain
from the words uttered in vain.
Why must he break my bones,
my heart and skin? 
Is he a weak man
or a cowardly lion.

I do all that he ask
but still I get cussed.
My heart breaks
every time he...

You waved goodbye with a
               smile, 
 I couldn't argue because it
 was at the hour of the night. 
  But I heard the screeching

When I am in pain, 
My ego would be the first to leave,
As rats would a sinking ship;
The greater the pain the faster it leaves!
My drives get ready to play a masochistic role.
All philosophers, Cosmologists,
Ontologists, Monists, Dualists, Pluralists,
Eschatologists, Epistemologists et al  
Hastily retreat, like...

You slipped between my fingers 
Sifted through my hands
Swept up just like gusts of wind
Blow away the sand
You tried to ride the currents
Brave the crashing tides
Fight the vicious undertow
That dragged you down inside
But the struggle made you tired
Too fragile, limp and weak
It finally pulled you...
