Hope Pain Poems - Poems about Hope Pain

Premium MemberThe Berlin Wall

Drenched in tears, I wrench in response to the pain I sense.
Caused by wrong desirers, walls, guards, and the electric fence.
Put here to stop free choice by man,
To keep him from becoming all that he can.

To hold imprisoned, crushing hopes and dreams.
To in flick hurt and pain, I can hear the screams.
Today, though they’ve been

Pain holds its insistence
pressed against me
I dream of a misty
selfless new morn
soft as maternal skin
easing me free
with a true smile to greet
a sweet day born!

Runner

Running from the past,
Hoping you wont last ,
making me believe and lost,
holding this arms and  my cross.
feeling so special,
killing all this vibes,
making it alright,
rising into this night.
sitting alone on these side,
kneeling before the high,
dealing with my troubled  mind ,
with no arms on my side.
sleeping under this dusk,
Seeking those we ran from,
burying  thoughts

I Know That Silence

I know that silence you hold in your chest,
The scream behind smiles, the ache in your rest.
Where love means walking a thin wire line,
And his “I’m sorry” feels like a red warning sign.
I know all the lies and the secrets you hide—
what would they say if the truth got outside?
You map every bruise like it’s

Not With Hands

He taught me how to wield
the weapon made of words—
a blade that kills,
now saving lives,
like it once saved mine.

My own work
pulled me back from the edge.
And in it,
he lives—
my teacher,
the man behind the lines.

Words—
once carved deep in the mind—
outlive the flesh,
outlast the hands
that once shaped them.

His words stopped me
from falling
to the hundred voices
that came to

A Reply To Intact

Life span expires around 100
That final flash behind the brain dies fast —
If I could choose, I’d leave this fleeting land
Beside the man I love, my lifelong friend.

Yet fate is cruel; now I must live on,
As if the one I love has gone away,
Learning how to bear the restless storm,
From someone long lost in my

Embers of Hope

In the stillness of the night,
A fire will slowly ignite,
A fire to change her fate,
A fire to remove anger and hate.

Beyond the edge of reason,
A world will change this season,
A change of state,
A change you can’t underestimate.

Through the eyes of a child,
Her world will stop running wild.
This is the end of her wait,
Something she’ll forever

Premium MemberHospital Haze



In the hospital, the room so still
A feeling of melancholy, my heart will feel
the music of a story, told by the nurse
who hears the whisper, a quiet curse
warm tears bleed across the pages
magazine leaves, in the early stages
coloring the twilight in yesterday’s prayers
the diagnosis, distant as a dream, repairs

colored in grace, the stories, the pages
silent

I will be heard

Life's got me in a chokehold,
but it's not the same asphyxiation that I crave.
I loathe when pouring my heart out
is seen as "very brave"
When it's not bravery that compells me,
But hope.  Hope for a better future for those who relate
And some kind of catharsis for my pain.
It does not take bravery to tell a

I Lay Awake

I lay awake at night, dreaming of my future.
In the black void, my destiny flickers faint,
A fragile ember fighting the pull of silence.
I fracture my pain into shards,
Each a memory too sharp to hold,
Yet too bright to ignore.
The sparks ignite lightning through my chest,
Burning a path I cannot escape.

I lay awake at night, dreaming of

Tower Of Babel

Those chairmen are in the tower of babel again 
Painting and repainting the future of our land with crooked hands 
Laughing at things as the world pass us by.

Those chairmen are in the tower of babel again 
Writing us messages that have no bloodline.
Although black oil runs in our veins like water of vegetation 
There

Premium MemberSpark

Dust motes dance, and sunlight spills
Through dusty windows of my intellectual lair
The aged paper scent, comfort and snare
Surrounded by knowledge, a thirst I can't share

SPARK! A question burns, pushes past the dark
I dive deep, wide, into oceans of knowing
A treasure hunt, secrets growing
Mountains of data, endlessly flowing

Sifting, unearthing, piecing together
Connecting dots, puzzle incomplete
Every clue -

Stitches
 
A wound, deep and wide.
Gaping, Ragged, Bleeding...

Cover with the cloth of

False Smiles.

Cover with the cobweb gauze of

Empty Sympathy.

Clamp it shut with fingers of

Chemical Laughter.

Hold it together with shaky hands of

Liquid pain relief.
              
 A wound, deep and wide ...

Remains.

A wound,deep and

Premium MemberHearts Like Flowers

Out of the crack, a life did rise, 
A fragile bloom beneath the skies. 
No gentle rain, no nurturing hand, 
Just broken stones, a barren land.

But still, it fought, it clawed its way, 
Toward the sun, it longed for day. 
A tiny shoot, a will to grow,
A heart that hope would never forgo.

Like fragile souls,
