Best Painfully Poems

Your touch upon my soft cream skin 
As I lay here in this gentle breeze 
My blood starts flowing, warming inside 
Oh, ....you are such a little tease 
Tiny little touches, you creep along my flesh 
Seeking, searching the perfect place to rest 
You move...

I put it all down on  paper,
Letting it all out...
Get all of it outta my head.
All I wanna do is shout.
When my minds open
My eyes awake, It's my
Poor ole heart these terrible
Thoughts tend to break.
Wherever my eyes look
Whatever they are forced to see,
It's always...

It’s all the little things noticed or found
Introspect details about human flaws
Draped over sparse and electronic sound
Speaking specifics on love’s small faux pas
 
Lingering decay to crush broken hearts
That thud to machine-made, synthesized beats
On a low-end keyboard and salvaged parts
Locked into sad loops and doomed...

i walk slowly to my death, among fields of flowers bloom.
i can feel the petals rip my skin apart, as i brush slightly past.
the wind slaps my face as i move, each step a painful reminder that life is fleeting
rays from the sun burn holes...

Painfully perfect
There is a depth of darkest in loving 
The right person at the wrong time!
The pain of an incorrect moment is a pathway for understanding
Love is not only found on the plate of certainty
Loving the right person at the wrong time is
A common error...

All I can see
When I look at you
Is what you did to me,
Not knowing what to do.
Each day is really tough,
So full of pain and sorrow.
Hoping I'm strong enough
To make it to tomorrow.
Constantly I am sad,
A feeling I can't explain.
You hurt me so very bad,
Causing...

No one notices
Those warm gentle eyes
That modest hesitant demeanor
Hiding snug in a corner
Behind a veil of haze
Painfully uncomfortable
Hiding symptoms of your mania
Still and hardly breathing
Afraid to attract attention
A hint of loneliness revealed
Inner sanctum no one sees
Not meant to be shared
Hovering through life
Translucent barely there

Your love ,beauty of a sparkling stream
that flows down south, we first met
Where we sat holding our hands 
While watched the ants in procession
And you asked me that silly question.....
how they know their mate when rest?

The creepers swinging in the zephyr 
the love birds resting...

I know I'm messed up in the head.
I know all the reasons why
I had always wished I was dead.
But now I just feel like I'm unable to cry....

She stares into nothing,
Like when she looks in the mirror. 
Not recognising what she’s seeing,
She used to see things clearer.
The clearness became distorted,
It became everything she feared.
And all that fear had left her haunted,
Wondering if it’ll ever disappear. 
She wished the pain away because she...

Painfully 

Love looms 
upon broken hearts.
 
It lingers hoping,
painfully drying
longing to feel again.
to no avail…

Privates left swollen, misfortune unasked
Choosing to be alone
Innocence stolen, beauty unmasked
Choosing to be alone

Taste my tears; embracing ease
Hear my screaming whispers, please
Oh desecrated sacred temple
Once guarded by emotion & will
Open to those who walked the path
through my heart and got a gate pass
Better to avoid...

A certain flair
Sparks the night air


Dark times bring pain
Now once again


Words vanish well
As climate tells


Not much to say
To death's own day


Be wise to know
As feel now shows


A certain change
Lights up odd range


Fate is not late
To close the gate


It is not strange
To fumble change


A rough ride...

Some things are painfully memorable,
These are the sweet moments of years gone by,
When we lived without knowing our share,
But you can't buy a ticket there anymore.

I was born under lucky stars
In the house on the corner.
This house is forever filled with dreams
It is like a...

One year ago, on a Saturday @ 20:10:00, I wrote
"Now, I just remember something to ask you. 
If I lost my memory and/or
Was not able to read English any more, 
Would you be kind enough to read my life story back to me?

Nay, maybe not,...
