Best Relieve Poems
These trembling lips cannot bear to remain mute
when their quivering begins in my deepest root
Surf upon the wave's crest of a stimulating ride,
Enter my secluded orchard upon a flowing tide
Saunter into my arbor and taste my honeyed fruit
Allow each nibble to entice with unbridled pursuit
Warm yourself in the sun as we sensually collide
Ripen with me until temptation is languidly descried
Inhale the fragrance of my skin on fleshly curves
Embrace the throbbing titillation of tingling nerves
Unshackle your heart, and have it not be denied
Caress every part of me as your fingertips glide
Hold my blossoms as they call to your heartstrings
Drink deeply of my nectar; flit your pinioned wings
Pluck me for your pleasure, with hands that shake
I await your touch; to relieve my heart of its ache

Advantages to grasp
Burning, bursting ready
Culminating, calming , collecting giving confidence
Driving to thrive, and blossom
Excelling. encouraging, ensuring ,eliminating wasteful thoughts
Firing, flourishing, fetching fury
Giving generous time to scholarly pursuits
High hopes, high tides, high cheer
Interest in schoolwork, initiation from self
Jonquils blooming, shining, enlivening and prancing
Keen awareness of self
Longing for future rather than past
Multifaceted structure only adds flair
Navigation among the webs
Overpowering the obstacles
Pure satisfaction from everything
Quirks that add to charm
Realistic goals never replace idealistic dreams
So inaccessible and complex
Tales to be woven with memories and jewelry
Unknown to masses, interpreted by select circles
Values drift yet remaining reachable
Whipping dreams, whipping hopes, waiting eagerly
Xinshi flowing creatively and forcefully
Youth and freshness shine
Zenith of glory nears

This was written first night of my recovery from complex spinal surgery to fix my paralysis, while in ICU. Still there
.Wee Hours of a Chess Match
I have still been passing
The long, wee hours of a chess match with pain,
Unfairly played as time does not
Permit me even a lit sight
Of the board and I captain the black
Pieces with my limited vision. So,
Even at the very start, my queen was taken,
With her protecting pawn and bishop.
I am a veteran player, but
Notably cautious — unwise for this game —
And particularly with this opponent.
Pain plays no games: striking
Arteries while simultaneously
Poisoning the brain; it strikes
At the soul —hoping the soul will sink with
Christ at the call. Plus, pain uses time and
Strategies to outlast,
To which nearly unending throes of agony
Will testify. Two more of my pawns and a rook are taken.
Pain sizes up to win.
My king captures a lost bishop.
Pain calls me lucky. Observers call me
Too drowsy and my anger sharpens!
Have they no idea of the reserves needed
To calm such a battle into measured breaths?
They claim, See we saw you entranced!
No, but no! I shout. It is a supreme effort
To pacify the nerves while picks stay at
Work to unsettle them.
Another of my rooks is taken.
This is no game. The taken are slaughtered.
There are no negotiations.
The bishops are wanderers before
Even learning for whom their prayers are meant.
Each side should have a multi-directional Angel,
Due more squares than a pawn. Knights fighting for
Pain need to know what that means, so could have
A square cut from their moves. Pawns serving pain
May only run away, take no prisoners, and
Just fall over dead when passed.
”Resilience” is a password for life, not pain.
Fingerprints everywhere, coat the pieces — hopeful
Of defeating pain. Knights do little anymore,
While on earth
As in heaven,burdens are shared and halved :
The war against pain soon, soon...to ease.
Relieve. Believe.

Tension cascades down the neck
shoulders all through heavy legs,
avalanche of a sand that has been
weighing me down with burden.
Vacuum replaces this drop
in an after echo of the shock,
legs deflated by stress of blood
are left without structure to hold.
Balloon head floats a migraine,
aimlessly it drifts ruler of none
in conflict duplicity of the outcome.
Celebrate the thick skin of endurance
or repudiate unseen extent of damage,
thus pick the numb wine to pour tonight.

when more money spend
to me another bill send
on income depend
about game will talk
either was a hit or walk
or had been a balk
had been well rehearsed
for being best and not worst
in standing was first
when we heard God call
many sins caused us to fall
each one will appall
when my sins will hurt
God does serve meals with dessert
gives me a growth spirt
when we start to grieve
from the sins we do receive
will always relieve

So much going on
like a tornado in my head
I wish it had a switch
so I can turn it off and on
A new task at hand
to find the magic to ease it
Oh what could it be
this valve to realease the pressure

I write to release
so I don't explode
It helps me think
of what I do not know
I hate as I tend to rhyme
Maybe I can stop it
this one last time
I trust with no doubts
but always having a fear
I only know YOU for a few weeks
and I've already given myself to you
I hope that you stick to your words
so there's not hurt down the road
boredom shouldn't be times
to cause me pain

Grieve and Relieve
We so often will seem to grieve;
Writing more poems will relieve;
Did help me out,
Without a doubt,
Reinforcement always receive.

J-ust relieve the pain,
O-ctober fourteenth day;
E-xpect the sun will shine,
L-ight takes the night away.
P-ain, sorrow and ache
A-re caused only to go;
I-t's the heart longing for
N-othing but the glow.
A-llow the hurt to fade,
G-oing into the pouring rain;
A-s the dawn eases your mind, just relieve the pain.

Oh childhood lullaby
Yee of bedtime sheep tailored
dream woven pillowcase
Ticking striking momentum behind
hidden crossed finger hand
Conical , decoherence pyramid shape
of future held in open palm
In barren room furnished simply
with a wardrobe hidden in a corner
Beckoning forth an erstwhile champion to
penetrable it's wonder-wall of secrets
And relieve them of the key so
as they can sleep and keep no more
While those who unbeknownst to them
know what they are not
Safely slumber under moon and star
pulsar up above and far further beyond
Sheltering under love's protection from
the bite of the north cold winds jagged teeth
cutting through bare exposed flesh
Who's purpose they believe is to challenge
the power of the witches spell and stroke
a lion's mane
And hopefully imagination permitting
return via the very same rabbit hole
they entered
To speak and tell of such graphic tales in
the key of lullaby that children just like
themselves can even understand
And willingly wish to go to bed in order
to dream
And resume the search of last night's
merriment and folly
