Premium MemberThe Curse

The hurt that sits within your heart is the same that sits in mine.

But you can't feel my wounds at all, so I'll pretend to be just fine.

I'm breaking in ways I can't convey, but you can never tell.

I guess that's why you looked at me and bid me your farewell.

I often wonder to myself if I could ever escape the fall,

And wish you never had the chains around your heart at all.

I want to heal the hurt that sits deep beneath your feet,

The pain that came long before–our ancestors' defeat.

I want to take the ruins and grow flowers where there's weeds.

Some how I will break this curse–with my love and my good deeds.

There will be no other daughters who feel the same as I.

This curse will end with me, and here is where it dies.


Premium MemberThe Purge

To weather the strain, of memories stained

To sever the ties that blind

To grasp the rope, a beacon of hope

To forever free your mind


A fog has been cleared, a beacon appeared 

A much better friend to find

A new path emerged, from the pain you purged

An enemy left behind

Premium MemberWounds we mistake

With blistered hands we reach for the things that are sweet, 

And gather the ashes that fall at our feet.

We barter for things that decay,

And cry when it all gets swept away.

We hide from the heat,

Believing every sting is our defeat.

Yet, these earthen vessels are broken before being filled,

The stone must be struck before the waters are spilled.

Our small comforts we guard and we run from the rod, 

We mistake our wounds for the absence of God.

We forget that oil is pressed, 

And the soul must be emptied before it finds rest.

The branch must be pruned before blossoms appear,

And joy that we seek is bought through the tear.

So open these hands that have clung to the clay, 

And shatter the jar for the dawn of the day.

Premium MemberA Poet's Pain

My words are often written,
    To riddles and rhyme.
Many days misunderstood,
    So much of the time.

If I'm to be clear, need I sacrifice
    Some harmony, for just ol' plain?
Or do I need to be more thoughtful,
    Connecting ideas along the chain?

That's where I tend to wrestle,
    With these words all the time.
To the point of near fracture,
    And it's nearly a crime.

As I bend and mold obscure meaning,
    Around the rhetoric in place.
While I hope it somehow connects,
    Making sense of time and space.

Premium MemberPress Pause

                The closer we became
                    the scareder I’d become

                 Inflicting pain
                    with the slightest look
                 No remedy in any book

                  One missed beat
                     a day, a night go by
                   Snarl at the other guy          
                                            
                  Pause now in the dark
                     ~ life is meant to be a lark


Premium MemberKaleidoscope of Pain

Lost in a blizzard's cold snowdrifts,
please know, I appreciate your gifts - 
a plethora of desolation, 
loneliness and isolation, 
a pincushion of every harm,  
empty hands and empty arms,
a surplus and a plenitude
of everlasting solitude,
a kaleidoscope of emotional pain
torrents of rainbowless rain,
a carousel of cosmic confusion,
a cornucopia of disillusion.  
I'll raise a glass, and just say, "Cheers!"
and return a reservoir of tears.

Premium MemberLove was yesterday.

I listened to love for years, still feeling the pain.
Pulling back the cover, crying out in vain.
Silenced, I feel the pressure on my heart.
The truth belongs to yesterday, I didn’t feel it start.

Premium MemberIf someone had told me

If someone had told me 
that I would struggle to just be
would I have done something
differently or bring
something different to the table
or would I be able
to make the world better
or be a trend setter?
Very doubtful, but worth asking
because I am basking
in today's pain
and would like to keep the stain
of that pain
from being forever held
in my body and meld
my future to hold more joy
but it won't hold my boy
so I'm just spinning,
but I'm functioning, so I'm winning
and leaning on God
who is my sustaining rod
of strength when mine fails
and I just need to rail

Premium MemberWHY

You don't know how I feel; you don't know what I've seen.  
All I know is I have a dream,  
A dream I lost you and can't bring you back.  
To your heart is where my love is at.  
So I ask myself every night and day,  
Does she love me? I don't know what to say.  
All I know is I'm hurting inside,  
Trying to win this thing called pride.  
Fighting off every aspect to make myself look shameful.  
Please come take away this hurt; take it away, it's too painful.  
So pray for me and keep my thoughts near.  
This is the end, so lend me an ear!

Premium MemberThe old sailor's story

You walk the way the wind blows

Or so the story goes.

You rode the waves of blue,

And lived a life with no clue

You blow smoke of tar

And drive a beat up car

You live in built-up walls,

Where twilight slowly crawls.

A fortress made of stone,

To keep yourself unknown.

You traded wind and sky,

To watch the world go by.

But rain taps on the window pane,

To remind you of the pain.

And the wind still knows your name,

Before you quit the game.

You throw the portal wide,

And cast the ghost aside.

Out where the blacktop gleams,

You wake up from your dreams.

You head across the bay,

To find a better way.

You turn toward the east,

The captive soul released.

The engine starts to roar—

You walk the way no more.

Premium Memberarthritis

Pain Pain and more pain again

it seems much worse in the cold and rain

Pain pain you are driving me mad

you are in joints I never knew I had 

You are in my arm then in my hand 

then my legs I can barely stand 

popping pills just like sweets

Is there nothing that this pain can't defeat

Please pain killers stop this pain 

So I can live a normal life again

The doctor said that it is my age 

help me doctor control my rage 

the doctor will say to me and he will say it to you

with arthritis there is nothing I can do

Premium MemberWhen Love Departs

There is a pain within the soul 
that far exceeds the body's pain. 
An ache no mortal can console 
except by love’s return again. 

When love and all its warmth depart, 
how chill and dark the vacancy, 
how pitiful the trampled heart, 
how empty the unloved can be.

Premium MemberThe slain damned sister

The slain damned sister
Look at me while you sleep,
Look deep into my eyes.
Sink into a slumber,
Where you’ll never see the rise.
I’ll wash your face with falling tears,
That drown the sight in yours.
While every ounce of pain you gave,
Settles in our pores.
You’ll slowly fade to nothing,
A ghost of what was well.
Sleep tight, my love, forever
And find your rest in hell.

Premium MemberSmile through the pain

I've chosen to smile through the pain
dance and twirl in the rain
writing through my grief 
brings me sweet relief
showing kindness and grace
makes my world a better place

Premium MemberAddict's Anthem

        
	      Marijuana came around
              LSD went to town

                Cocaine in his brain
                His life down the drain

                   Hashish to ease the pain
