Painless Poems

Painless? Suicide is Breathless!

Go! New York Herald Tribune! Yell it, Jean!
I think that Marcel Proust once owned that condo.
Belmondo never acts – he’s just Belmondo.
You’re no Liz Taylor – no Egyptian queen –
So, New York Herald Tribune! Your big scene!
Were you too young to play the chick in “Hondo”?
This is the age of “Cuando, Cuando, Cuando” –
No singer,

What price painless dignity in death

We let no animals suffer,
Yet, humans seldom seem safer.
We let them die in stress
In search of death, painless,
Passive a mercy kill
Is cruel if not evil,
Pray, how long would justice differ?

who was blessed with the gift
with a wap back bone of iron 
 the man that doesn't mind
a God given gift
 to his painless conscious

Time Is Not Painless

Time is not Painless
Written: by “Miracle Man”
7/17/2018

Oh God, you’ve vouchsafed me, more time to be spent,
Sometimes, tolerating pain, when it won’t relent;

You’ve never allowed pain, to place me in a bind,
Temporary pain, to me, always begins in my mind.

We’ve crossed more speed bumps than I can recall,
And though feeling pain’s presence it fails to enthrall.

You’ve

Roses feel no pain.
Stretching muscles and tendons,
They strive for God’s light.

Painless

Stab me with passion my cherub
Let me bleed love 
And forever adore my gorgeous scar 

Bite my lips hard my love
Hurt it all you can
I wanna enjoy the pain from the taste of your lips 

If I am the wound from which poetry bleeds 
Keep running a scalpel till I breathe no more 
Let me

Painless Endeavor

Eyes untangles the twining nodes of your blouse
 Exposing nectar factories that taunt naughty minds 
As their mouths leak the righteous nudity of their oblongata 
Their hands stay restless while their nostrils sniff your underwear

 Pseudopodia protrudes between your two legs 
As rain shadows form behind your eyes 
With each and every pulse 
Silent cries

To Live Painless Life Together

Painless


It hurts
Like blisters from the sun
Burn with no touch
Love, but not much
Comparing all to one

It hurts
I stare into the stars
Space dead and hollow
Short light I long to follow
To find the love of mars

It hurts
The war of hearts we wage
Soldier on a false act
Fighting feelings forged from fact
With a lie setting the stage

It hurts
To follow Apollo
These

Painless

Take my heart, blow my mind. 	
Throw me down, listen to me whine.	
Speed my pulse, flush my face.	
Reel me in and off my tracks.		
Watch my eyes fade to black.		
Tear me up and crush my soul.	
Eat my heart out for that is your goal.     
Darken the sky and chill my skin.	
Make me

Loveless-Painless

Lights came on; dreams started to roam.
Floating along beside an unknown gnome.
Miserable heartaches shed.
Hurtful imaginings fled,
She woke up while her body stayed home.

Painless

Do you ever feel weak, but gutsy all at the same time. 
It feels wrong but right,
Sudden and sweet in ways you can't explain
Crying won't help and you almost don't want to 
When you realize
This isn't how I want it to be 
Move with the water not wash up on shore like the salty tide

Painless

I lie here in this bed.
I know, regretfully, where I am.
they will be in again soon.
I awoke here, not knowing for sure.
Now weeks of fighting.
I am tired.
I want to go.

I hear familiar voices coaxing and soothing me.
Why I fight, I do not know, but I must.

I struggle every minute, every breath.

I didn't know I was
