Best Unbearable Poems


Premium Member Unbearable Beauty In Blue
Standing on a mountain peak
I find myself surrounded 
by a breezy cerulean sky.
How peaceful and restful 
is heaven’s hue.
Nature has breathed her essence on me.

Later I bathe in deep aqua blue
and again I am amazed.
How soothing and serene
is nature’s watery embrace.
How warm the caress 
of...

Premium Member Unbearable This Longing
Closing the lamp as another year shuts off
I am between solitude and scream --
when dusk’s music aches like a groan
as brother's demise wraps veiled nights
in a requiem knighted by heaven.


It is so… I mean,

How unbearable the rake of longing
while the agony from riding this carriage
stalls...

Premium Member Unbearable Beauty In Black
Bells summoned as they tolled the sad departure
Of my poor mother’s sudden demise.
I led the short funeral procession
Towards her eternal resting sepulchre.

Before her black ebony casket was closed,
I looked intently down at her, still beautiful.
Her dress, her favourite, all lace in black.
That was her last...

The Unbearable Call
She calls and calls to me she cries
I hear her I hear her and for that am daring
For a friend and an enemy she has become
That soft kiss on my forehead
The phantom curse of our passion

How is it I and her have these conversations 
The...

Premium Member Unbearable Paul
There once was a snowman named Paul
Quite sadly he had a great fall
When he landed on his head
They thought for sure he was dead
Paul Bearers they started to call


Rich the Ball Bearer

There once was a snow man named Rich
He wore no clothing not a stitch
His...

Premium Member Unbearable Thirst
At sunrise newlyweds wandered from camp
hiking into unfamiliar terrain.
And now they have to spend the night in the
desert despite their unbearable thirst.

The sweltering heat of the day lingers
as the sun sets just behind the mountains.
And darkness merges with inky shadows
pooling deep within the cooler crevices.

They...

Unbearable
I hear you in your room
The words he shouts are unclear
But I hear every tear that escapes your eyes
I feel every tear that is replaced inside

Unbearable

I hear you calling out
Begging for him to stop
I'm frozen with fear
Picture clear what he's doing to you
What he's done...

Premium Member Unbearable Beauty In Scarlett
I look at her picture ... she'll never grow old.
A feathered headband on her small, downy head.
The pain will lessen, that's what we've been told
but we've so few memories of a babe , now dead.

Scarlett of name, a moniker bold,
for such a wee thing, fragile...

The Unbearable Beauty In Jent
The unbearable beauty in jent
A colour I claim to invent
With multimedia
And synesthesia
It gives off a smelly sock scent...

Unbearable Beauty In Red
The first time I saw her playfully dancing in the breeze
to the soft rustling music played by the bright autumn leaves.
Under the dusky rose sky bursting in shades of red flame,
she looked like a quaint portrait came to life from an art frame.

While I gazed...

Unbearable Beauty In Crimson
There’s unbearable beauty in crimson…

There are many crimson colored things in this world. How about blades of leaflets during Autumn or the beauty of a McIntosh apple? The most unbearable beauty I know is the color of crimson that poured from your lilies. When you...

Unbearable Pain
Another day comes to be
like a a warm summer breeze 
but my heart aches.
Why do I suffer with aches
in this body?

As I walk I feel faint
my knees are weak
my tummy like a creek.
Doctors every week 
but yet so weak.

Some day to dance
and go place
to place
free...

Premium Member Unbearable Beauty In White
Her casket closed at her request,
   so no one saw our beauty queen
there lying peacefully at rest, 
   in her soft dress of white sateen.

Her white hair combed in silky curls
   at fifty-five, was premature;
around her neck a string...
