Best Sorrowfulness Poems

Scattering into broken pieces
Of debris,
My life has become a black painting
Of nothingness,

Within myself I see,
 You concealing me,
I feel droplets of misery
Crawling into me, to simply become…
Me… 

I wonder if my tears
Could water the eternal desiccation,
That fills my life with hopelessness…
When will “I” reappear?

Nothing but...

It is symphonic
It is rhythmic
It tells a story,
of love and life,
of pleasure and pain, 
of joy and sadness;
a story of defeat and triumph

It is the invisible book
of the human experience
It has the power,
to move you,
to make you yearn for more,
of its delightfully painful, 
audible deliciousness

It...

Deep in the shrine, sins
Deep in the courtroom, injustice
Deep in the costume, exposure
Deep in the constitution, lawlessness

Inside the adulthood, puberty
Deep in motherhood, breastlessness
In the paternity, womankind
In the smiles, sorrowfulness

Inside the forces, idleness
On the holiness, sacrilege
For the oaths, hypocrisy
In those appeals, bendlaws

In the beddings, no siesta
Deep...

BURNT TEARS


I remember a tormented childhood with
Dad’s words laced with poison and Mom 
tossed acid on my tears by saying no words
to stop it and even joined it.

I remember that even though I was a small 
and frail child that didn’t stop them ...

One bus sleeping in the valley
Deep night
Rescue team works
We get down from the bus
We are not strange but silence
Can't remove eyes
Clouds are moving like a cow
Moon stuck on hills
They are covered with dew and
-poor moonlight

In the narrow valley
A bed of white smoke
moving sheet
Raw cold
Rejoice my...

I came to poetry a novice, a neophyte, a fledgling
oh sure, I had written as a child . . . 
but that was just the writing of a tenderfoot
as my life became more grievous and woeful
I found myself mournful and melancholy with a 
a dolorous...

seasons have became with no reasons,
looking at the light of the sun in winter and rainy clouds in summer,
I start to ask myself why all this?
perfect silence I tune into as I start to realize seasons do not exist anymore,
the temperature of earth has changed...

A Song With no Name
From my grandfather and my dad and performed by their son and grandson, me.
It was an old melody with no name of a ballad my grandfather wrote a long time ago.
The melody was soft and mesmerizing creating a feeling of melancholy....

I could not cry enough tears or wallow in such regret
The crowds taunting jeers as upon His way they beset
Unable to express such inner pain such utter sorrowfulness 
In realizing such gain and how much God truly does bless 

As my heart begins to weep...

Least of the day before death
I want to be a silent man.
Without a word, I will be viewing your happiness
Sorrowfulness, lifestyle.
I will see how to cry, laugh.
How to speak with others.
And how to understand others.
Don't take tension.
I will not bargain with you like now.
Because I...

In the safe refuge of lyrical poetry, I cocooned.
My broken shards fell on a tear-stained screen.
I am the one who steers my own route attuned.
With every brushstroke, many specks are seen.

My broken shards fell on a tear-stained screen.
A flawed creation leaves footprints in the sand.
With...

I'm succumbing to this numb feeling inside my dumb cranium
I've become someone else...a rebel...a worthless bread crumb
I will overcome these waves of emotion...drunk off of remorse's rum

I'm handsome in this pain of insanity and reign upon me happiness instead
The drums in the dead of night...
