Best Pierced Poems

Imperfect as we are, how can we
begin to grasp the intensity
of His pain, that immense agony
of suffering for humanity?

To be unblemished, yet have to be
the one to bear such cruel mockery,
body nailed to a cross unjustly,
His heart and soul pierced for you and me....

my mind is consumed by His hands being pierced
How could men hammer nails through those healing hands?
Just days before, the streets filled with his praises.
I'm confused. The mob shouted "crucify him!".

How could men hammer nails through those healing hands?
When He was born, He was foretold...

Cutting, callous, cold
Cruelly, so cruelly you stand there laughing at me 
You tell me I’m useless
Your words cut through me like a blade

The pain within that pierces deep
is like the prick of rose’s thorn
and leaves my meager mind to mourn
while yearning for eternal sleep.
These tristful tears from my soul seep
like winter’s chill on summer morn
are but a sign of love forlorn
that causes weary will to weep.

While gazing...

I've heard the tales of all the pain,
Of birthing a child, raising him.
I have to ask, "What's that again?
I don't remember any pain.

I don't recall what went before
They brought my baby through the door.
They laid him there, right by my breast.
All loving mothers know the...

She fell in love with body art 
He pierced her needs and won her heart.

He pierced her tongue and both her lips
He pierced her navel and her nose
He pierced her ears with rings and clips
He pierced the spots he deftly chose.
  
He pierced her...

Holy One, God's own Son, PIERCED for me
Every sin, put Him there, on that cross

What love, I know not why, SAVING Grace
Alone, apart from God, The Father
Separated, by your sins and mine

Pardoned, by His sacrifice, He GAVE
I, so unworthy, yet so grateful
Everlasting assurance, FINISHED
Restored, through...

She has metal in her face:
tongue ring, nose ring, cheek pierced too,
Studs, rings, barbells, hoops, loops, balls
shooting out from every where!
Her piercings shine in the Sun;
twinkling bright to the eye.
I had a love for them, too;
with rings in my tongue, ears, nails,
none of which healed...

 Eyes,
tainted
by snow flakes
of damp memoirs;
spiky frostbites chafing her irises.

Drained lids quiver on a funeral trail
lacing sharp ache;
iced droplets
pierced like
flakes.

My heterodox heart abandoned and impaled,
By such beauty where kisses have been jailed…
Marooned by your love and escaping has failed,
Decomposing with my last breath echoic exhaled.

Imprisoned by lachrymose of your lascivious lance,
Intoxicated by illicit lust as we started our dance…
Exciting erotic illusions within their eternal...

The bleak tear tramples down the stony road
Blown by gushing whirlwinds and manly toil
Gone ravishing thoughts of why have I?
Haven’t recognize reality by this sweet goodbye

Its squeaky cut leaves a bottomless hole in the nut
A lot to fix but haven’t got so many blunt laughs
If...

PIERCED

we grow together
and know not why
scarlet crevices
mementos that bind
and hide the world till
all are blind and left 
behind with pierced
hearts and threads of
blood that line the sins
that we define

Time brings reality
The relationship I once knew lives in silence
Now I understand the alliance of love and hate
When I Looked into her eyes
There was a silent pause
This is because
There was a moment of reflection!
Without hesitation I spoke
Forgetting all of the malice
While I understood our silent...

When last we spoke 
	An image came

This latest journey 
	The latest challenge 

That will test
	The strength of 

Our RESOLVE to
	Build upon the love

Begun long ago	
	Now re-inspired

Hesitant at first like the 
	Faltering steps of a foal in spring 

Struggling to stand 
	Kicking up its heels 

Now...

I'll surely rise behind the cloud to a new day dawning,
though sun's rays may grow fewer, secure in grace.
My mind turns to all the days shared without worry of touch, or grave of thought, and found breath free of pestilence, same as you.
Now I remain...
