Premium Member Painful Afflictions
As darkness approaches,
among corrupt horizons.
To the angel in my nightmares-
no longer can I survive,
chained to such expectations.
Let me live in peace,
don't let this vessel sink.
Show me mercy and,
let this heart drown
in a thousand petals,
immersing in fragile fragrances.
So this soul can flow,
bathing in illuminating streams,
cleansing these...

PAINFUL LOVE AFFAIR

I love you, my love
I don't know why?
You are working hard,
I love you from nine to five
Soon will clock out
Going to our separate ways
To a life, I was forced at hand 

Thanks for the attention,
My husband does not give.
Simple kisses with full affection
A...

Striking Deeply a Painful Reminder 

Striking deeply a painful reminder comes of you now.
Salt falls inside my open wound bringing untold pain.
My soul has one choice to make amidst all this pain,
Telling me the considered direction I must take now. 

Washed through a dirty ocean...

Painful Words
The words I hold back,
leaves painful bite marks
making my tongue bleed,
leaving my mouth full of blood.

With the pain being so unbearable,
I realize speaking my mind is less painful.

 So I will no longer bite my tongue
I will say whatever's on my my mind 
and let...

The Painful Facts
The Painful Facts
The nervous system originates in the brain.
Nerves send and receive signals to feel pleasure, fear or pain.

A baby’s diaper rash causes crying, pain and suffering,
Her torment needs attention , care and buffering,

She is so sensitive to pain, as were you and I ,
The...

Premium Member Panning For Painful Metaphors
It's still flowing, never stopping to change direction 
Cuts are made without sharpening, perfection;
Behold the pain; beholden, the bastard
This river's banks, always see the last word
The stream of water that only the ravens tend;
Panning for painful metaphors; to no end
Flowing; with all the liquidity of...

I close my eyes to imagine your face
but pain invades and the image is erased

tears gather at the corner of my eyes
as i sit and remember all of your lies

I try to reach out to see if your there
but the feeling is cold and your...

A Painful Tribute To My Earth
A Painful Tribute to my earth
Before me you were
I am here and you are
Thus both of us are together now.
Alas, I will be gone and you will go on!
You are giving me endlessly
And spreading on me lavishly.
Despite it, I plunder you;
I exploit you;
I mistreat you;
I...

The Painful Daisy
Standing where I am when no one can see,
I see a picture of  a purple daisy staring at me.
A dew drop on top with like a tear from my eye,
I see my painful past and start to cry.

I needed to see something to make me...

Undressing Is Painful
Stood as tallest,

Looking towards the sky

Glancing the world surround,

Abode for many,

Mess for the world

bunk room for any,

Embodiment of kindness

Staining is a hobby at intervals,

Green is most favorite,

Also like to dress in red and yellow!

To the world,

Me and my friends cry for one thing

To make up...

Pain Is Not Painful
Pain is not painful
Until you fall in love
That moment you feel 
a missing rib in your body
and honey water turns sour
When you wish just for a moment
Of freedom from earth
When your brain can't reason well 
and your eyes can't see well
The time you enter the...

Painful Truth (1)
Does it take you back? Does it knock you down and beat you bloody? Or does 
it rip your heart out of your chest and leave you bleeding and crying? Why 
should anyone ever have to face this kind of pain? Because strength comes

Painful Reminder
If reading this disturbs you
you're not the only one.
You are probably being reminded
of something you have done.

I am your painful reminder
that no one will forget.
I will always speak my mind.
I am not finished yet.

The pain you feel is nothing
compared to what you've done.
Don't worry, I...
