Best Tortured Poems

She's bound by chains too hard for her to break
Alive and yet she tastes a living death
Morality and ethics round her neck
And so she plans to rob her soul of breath

The flames of hell are licking at her feet
In torture is her soul in need...

A tortured love abides deep in her heart
A love intense and strong, fearless and brave
A love demanding all and not a part
A love that must descend down to her grave

It is a love that bears not rivalry
A love so pure, a love devoid of doubt
It...

A tortured spirit, earth bound wreaths in agony,
trapped within human body, desperate for freedom.
To be able to escape and hide from other's sight,
to escape the whispers that cut like knives.

Always chained, seeing nothing from balanced point of view.
Reading friendly gestures as threats, wanting love and...

For Taylor Swift


Is that what we are?
Tortured Poets
It has a ring
of truth to it
We have a close
relationship to
our emotions,
understand that
life is suffering
as the Buddhists
would contemplate
Interesting that a
Mega Star would
realize this- - - - - 
Get It
It goes to the
depth of her character
She's an enlightened being

They sat him down
In a chair
In a large office
With a gorgeous window
With a fabulous view
And they sent in
One
Only one
That sole representative
Took from their briefcase
A roll of red tape
Flimsy looking
Transparent in places
Red tape
Legally strengthened
With barbs
Then the representative
Beat him
Viscously
With the red tape
And his vision fell
Sliced and compromised
Gasping...

I ventured into us
Without any outcome in mind
I was content at the time
Happiness was the bottom line
Nothing could prepare me for this
The fire was put out of our bliss
How did we come to this
Unbearable twist
It is impossible to know
That love once did exist
Caught 
in the...

Tortured souls breaking free

outward bound into the night
tortured souls set me free

when you find your destiny
everything will be alright
tortured souls breaking free

let us go now finally
take this chance to set things right
tortured souls set me free

calm your fears and stay with me
gathering the strength to...

Life was hard and he had lost all that mattered
first his mother who was murdered on her way home.
He watched his Dad unable to cope with her loss
fade away to skin and bones a relief when he passed on.

His wife walked out on him with...

Night time rest
I lie there counting the stars
as they glint in the Heavens
Desperate to sleep
exhausted tears streak streams
from cheek to pillow
Not that I feel sorry for myself
just simply worn out
in need of short respite
Scared to try to move
as nightly rigamortis sets in
but need is there...

I saw a pretty woman,
At the book store!
She was amazing,
As described in the folklore!

Her beauty glistened,
Under the yellow light!
I had to make sure,
She was within my eye sight!

‘What Men Want’,
Was the book she was reading!
I took a closer look,
N saw her right ear was bleeding!

Abused...

The tortured poet has returned to cause chaos on the page 
With a pen full of ink that is sharper than Michael Myers blade
This is about to get horrific and bloody it's not for the weak minded
I was forced to live with dark  thoughts,...

I produce old silk flags to undulate the mist-
I”m just another Torturated Body from the East
I take the Medicine and try to resist
among Big Mammals, fighting with a spoon
I put one foot on the Moon for a catatonic walk
and the other foot on the street
to...

In warmth I lay, the hearth aglow
the winter winds do softly blow
and with the moon’s pale silver light
I sink into the arms of silent night.
the blankets soft the room so still
a peaceful hush a restful thrill.
I close my eyes to dreams I flee
embraced in calm…...
