Purging Poems

Tears

Lately I've cried
tears filled up my eyes
rolling down my face
warmth from the wetness
purging the years of pain
cleansing out the grief,
now knowing I am good enough
no approval needed or points to prove
elated with joy emotional, but happy.

Dance Into Light

Why are you sitting here playing with your shadows?
Your bitter sadness is building too much gunk inside your mind.
Let the past go.
Wash away your tears and let the pain flow.
Scrub each thorn till it spills, leave them hollow.
Grit down your teeth; drag a match against the haze,
Let it split open, watch it dance in a

Premium MemberA Purging Breathe Through Gossamer

Unclemnt breathe penetrates through gossamer 
Losing momentum 
It's control dissipates
The curser loses his grip
And slips into slumber
Eclipsed by the new virgin empress
Excserting her power with sunshine-arousing kisses
Awakening fertile ground 
The Robin sings and spreads his wings
The virgin Empress
A virgin no more
Heavily pregnant 
The prospect of new birth
And abundant prosperity

The climate is now more clement
The new

Purging Soul

The night falls heavy, A suffocating cloak,

Cold, and alone am I.

The light for which I pray flares once, then dies, swallowed by the abyss all hope must die. 

My being craves no more.

How could I understand?

My darkest thoughts surrounding me,

Crying,

I am fallen.

Ground Zero

. for public domain


It is the highway shoulder for me.
I care little for flying,
and just as much for the sea.
Rails? Not in that much of a hurry.

Good ol' Ground feels right under my feet.
One step at a time,
a good gait, easy and neat.
Snail's pace feels like less of a worry.

And when I stop it does

Premium MemberA Length of Time

combing my unkempt hair
unraveling years of not caring
my freedom knotted with reckless abandon
untangling each strand of dissatisfaction
cutting as curls fall away
each length a strand of injured time

layer of dust
choking breath

veiling luminescence

Premium MemberIs Purging Out My Mouth I Call It a Cleansing-

As I'm reeling
 I threw up my in word sides 
Puking up 
The infallible spiritual meta physical environment chards
Some may call it gross 
The wrenching purgings coming out of my mouth 
Through my throat 
I call it a cleansing, a revealing 
I stand duty charged and not ashamed I
I stand repentant a mere mortal man

Premium MemberDare I Begin Purging

My porch must be miserable
Full of empty boxes 
Thanks to Amazon’s daily deliveries

I had not noticed until today
But it is unbelievably noticeable
I wish the delivery men would take the empties away

My front door looks shabby
Needs a fresh paint job
But it is a mural and not easy to repaint

My car is not empty
There are three coats

Premium MemberPurging the Extra Stuff

When I am honest with my belongings 
I am amazed to find that I have surrounded myself
With things that I thought I could not live without
Once upon a time…..

But once upon a time is long gone, and these things
no longer give me joy, or make me happy in any kind of
weird way.

That sparkly spangly pillow

Purging Anxiety Thru Transcendental Meditation

Temporary nirvana (albeit elusive),
nonetheless I strive to access
attaining bliss mine soul bless
exceeding exhilaration winning
(with fewest moves against

deadly opponent) bittersweet game,
where life analogous playing chess
mortality embraced hesitantly, I confess
gnarled, knotted, pitted... old fingers
wrinkled mottled flesh doth dress

unavoidable senescence
upon body politic mortality doth express,
though severely myopic,
yours truly eyewitness
self positing query,

asper meaning of life
oft times rhetorical question fathomless
