Best Soreness Poems

At first you were understanding 
and patient,
so polite and gentle,
encouraging me to express my emotions.

But then you became obsessive and jealous.
Forcing me to shut up into obedience. 
Now I think I should be silent,
because it's difficult to hide black eyes,
with the soreness of split lips.

Wounds...

Start by warming up daily
with hands lifted in praise.
Running and jumping in
place as the spirit moves.

Drop and give God sixty
Sixty minutes in prayer that is!
This work out is especially good
for the heart as it will strengthen
and bring about eternal life.

Endurance training begins with walking
the straight...

In the voyage of life when we set sail
Let patience allied with perseverance
Be the bacon light for us to avail
In the warm summer of exuberance
As in the wild, wobbling winter of gloom
When wilful wintry winds whirl us to doom;

When whooping waves waft the frame of...

I remember waking up to the melodious sound of my mother singing happy birthday,
the aroma of bacon and pancakes wandering through the hall, invading my nostrils,
my sister having no regard for my annual celebration and continuing her annoyance,
and my father, toiling with twigs and meddling...

We lose when we love, 
retain the dripping remnants 
of losses we keep.  

We call it time, 
but cease to count the raging moments 
of a sandstorm 
when it cries. 

And then we say goodbye, 
a final soreness of heart 
that in braveness, 
says...

Aching with such soreness, the thought
of touching glass longing to shatter in pieces
but uncertain as to how much force.
Strength of varying degrees to apply
and yet fearful of shattered glass,
brittle grains of sand and levels
of the unknown.

Grey dark clouds heavy laden with drops.
Looking to burst but...

Oh my God! Is it morning already?
Check! Yes, I can see things in my room quite clearly now.
The sun, at least, has started on his appointed rounds.
OK, remember to move slowly Brian. Let’s stretch a little first.
But not too hard, those cramps that you get...

(Answer to Claude McKay I shall return)
YOU shall not come again
You won’t come back
You shall not turn up, you shan’t
To chuckle and care for the ones you want to see
To wristwatch with wonder surprised eyes
For the dozy noontime shall be shadowy,
And you shall not see...

A whirl, a gust, and a thunderous boom commenced,
Heartened by the latter soreness of silent night,
Shackled through the chill blows above,
A tempest, a storm,
Threshing the world,
Shaking the Prison of Plot,

The waters of the Holy Spirit roared,
And the Great Dragon shrieked at its tumult,
Demons scampering to...

I still have faint memories of the day
When in our small living room I did play
A toddler of three, spinning on my head
Lord, why wasn’t I born a boy instead?

Acrobatic talent was freely shown
But I was wearing a dress; grandma moaned
Swatted me, “Act like a...

We often strangle ourselves within,
Quietly, choked and suffocated within. 
Dare no one can read it,
Not even a close one dared to feel it.
The load that has been weighing heavy,
The grueling and strenuous task to carry. 
We ignore the pain and soreness to feel less petrified....

The moment I woke up 
Tiredness granted me Good morning 
With all the strength I had
I prayed what I could 
Collapsed into bed
Agonized with fever 
And throbbing stomach aches
I lied in my bed
Shaking.. 
From the cold 
Wrapping myself with rugs of clothes
Constantly feeling the urge...

When she asked me…
"How are you?"
I pretended, I didn't hear
Then I asked…
"What's new?"
She looked at me
And with a smile, she replied…
"I have no clue!"


I talked to myself…
Should I be honest and tell her?
Could I say what I feel?
Would she listen?
Would this heal?



I couldn't describe how...

The pain I feel , deep in my soul....
 The soreness I feel , deep in my energy...
The discomfort in my breath of life...
No one can feel... The disrespectful out burst... 
The slashes down my spine...everyday.. 
The piercing in my heart...each second I try. ...
 I'm...
