Best Torment Poems

When you are 
an agonizing 
echo from a
benevolent voice,
life exhales in
mahogany haze, 
spreading across the
lachrymose meadows as 
scarred rivulets of
sandalwood scents, 
where ceramic 
rhymes slumber in
watercolor coffins 
with opaque metaphors,
weaving hoaxed 
hymns of the nascent 
heavens within these
mortal hues. 

I'm a bronze brushstroke 
of origami...

A fleeting still small voice tries to warn me
A sudden overwhelming desire to run
The tell tale taste of metallic flakes
Means my nightmare has begun

Everything around takes on a ghostly pallor
A landscape of anguish and corrosion
A moment of silence before the violence
The flash of light, the...

You've seen beyond the dark
You've lived behind the light
What is it?

To you the truth is lies
To you life is a crime

Your lies make you survive
Your truth is where they hide

Dark rages deep inside
Light can't get through your eyes.

The secrets of the night
love burned out of...

WAITING SINGS ALONG WITH TORMENT

Each night aroma of jonquils arrive to tickle me
yet no console as I am a slave to your absence
as bright full moon slowly slit the dormant sea
in the field of black, hours, I crave for your essence.

The cold breeze of December...

Torturing me with touches
I feel the sting of hardened and lasting lust
Touches not of mortal fingers,
But Halloween-haloed strings composed by musicians of mystery
Pressing upon my back--yes! A searing, yet melodi-errotic strike
All upon me, yet far from me...

Leave me not in the judgement of my own...

Whispers fondling neck and face
in voice promising torment divine
breath caressing each exotic place
bringing sensations along the spine

Hunger drawn from seeking lips
unsated passion kept at length
exploring hands, gentle finger tips
arms holding back sinewy strength

Eyes of desire, how they smolder
looks flaming with tongues of fire
wants and needs,...

Watching the television
Reading the news
I ask not for your views
your case for war is farcical
Your indifference to human suffering is immoral
Yet you call yourselves men of faith and children
Of the clothe
You place your anger on vests of death and drop
Your bombs from birds like rain...

alone ‘neath the full moon
my heart once bright with hope, now dimmed
how I wished you were here with me

     as the moon bled with my heart
     shadows of past love traversed the orb

Achingly, I watch as you frequently fall
For the idyllic notion of unconditional love
The dream, the desire, the fantasy
Drawn, inexplicably, to the potent flame
Of one who ignites the spark
You learn from her, confide in her
Losing yourself
As she reheats each chamber of your tepid heart.
You feel safe...

The tiger always comes at night,
 With slashing claws and deadly bite.
 His eyes, they gleam with bitter hate,
 His scream the answer to my fate.....

Must you torment me, you sultry vixen,
Beguile me with the ling’ring lust of more
Hold me quiv’ring within your heated grasp
Entrap me with the distance of your shore

Please touch gently the paleness of my need
Infuse your torrid breeze with flowered balm
Awakening a fullness, bursting forth
To join...

I Torment Not As This Great Reward- The Villanelle Of The Award

I couldn't stop praising within the award
It was just so light also wonderful
Never had he known anything so on-board

That morning, I was shocked by the Lord
He had to calm Himself with an effect
I couldn't...

The glass chatters, clanks, and shatters
As it hits the ground
But makes no sound
The only thing heard is the
Screams of pain
As I get hit into the glass
Blood everywhere
Pain unbearable
The ripping of flesh
Cracking of bones
Screams of pain
Yet no one hears the screams
No one to save me
From this...

Douse me in sugar coated lies 
Bind me with possessive ties 
caress me with that bitter torment 
I know your heart is sitting dormant 
Kiss me with those poisonous lips 
Embrace me with your lethal grip 
Compel my mind to now concave 
As you Love...

Canvasing the world as we solder metal bandages to wooden wings

We attempt to cover pain by silencing what our scars sing

A noted tension with a vulnerable assist

Showcases hope and a life we refuse to resist

The porcelain skin that encompasses our ceramic hearts

Shatters with words, fragile...
