Responsibilities
Oh, my wish—to falter beneath my burdens, To drown in failure’s cold embrace, To be lost in the wreckage of my own undoing, Yet rise, undead, from catastrophe’s face. We are but fools, deceived by victory, Blind to the lessons the struggle bestows. We march ahead, neglecting the path, Ignoring the wisdom that suffering knows. I seek the hush in a world of...

HOPE
When in a night so dark, scary and lonely, With your heart so burdened and uptight, When your claim, ' small me - big God,' makes you feel like your prayers are nothing more than an ant's whispers in an elephant's ear - useless. When you feel tired and worthless, like one fourth the tree remaining in the ground while a third...

Premium Member My boots, still burdened with the dust of Carpathian trails
My boots, still burdened with the dust of Carpathian trails, Silently slip over the gleaming tiles of an urban temple, Where hipsters sip artisanal nectar on lazy Tuesday afternoons, Under the impassive gaze of a Bucharest wrapped in its own chimera. I sit among blurred shadows, searching in the eyes of cultivated youth, With my soul still clinging to the...

POSTLIFE TIME
Found herself long in the tooth Burdened with responsibilities As the clock kept ticking Being hospitable began to wane Regardless of hope keeping in touch Working harder had become symbolic For she had a negligible threshold That supremely played a crucial part A part in soaking all the fitness up Until she lost the spiritedness Did all she accessed for the...

The Burdened Poet
The poet stands in the court of thought, Accused of wielding the pen as sword, Charged with crafting truths unbought, With words that strike and chords that chord. Guilty of exposing the soul’s bare form Of unraveling the unseen seam, The poet faces the judgment storm For venturing in the concealed realm For daring to dream or to utter the unspoken. ...

Burdened by Secrets
Some secrets my soul have burdened and some I will take to my grave. But secrets involving people’s lives, have entrapped me in a cave. I am constantly worried sick and my black hair has turned grey. Should I reveal the truth? What do I have to lose, or what good will I gain? I walk...

The Love of a Burdened Soul
When pain mixes with pleasure therein lies a river, Moving water that carries the emotion of memories faded, Lost in time Buried within mind Lying in wait to remind how love may strip you limb by limb every time. As these lost parts are never found We move from saints to thieves Replacing what we need with the parts of who...

The Burdened Mind
Taste not the souring within thy heart Let your blood flow with sweet memories If this taste becomes sour sweeten it with love Love will concur all that will agree with the soul For hate only blinds and captures your mind Why waste thy love without a return It then becomes trash for them to burn Flee and fly among the stars...

Heavy A mass weighs on me Heavy clouds seeking to be free Thick and grey the eye can not see Flash Rocketing streaks of electricity Pounding bolts in a crazy spree Uncontrollable sparks shoot from me Fallen Sunken low it won’t release Smothered suffocated it cannot see Drowned below seeking to be free Reach Shooting from a cloud below High in the sky like freak show Extended hands pushed back...

Burdened
I have been touched Impressed, by you Have emotions spoken over my logic? Harsh in tone and impulsive in decision Never have I known this much confusion Of matters of the heart, Let my mind speak before my heart, Otherwise my eyes will cry before my heart sings You held my heart above me Until I rose to meet it...
