Given time, an ache will go to sleep
But from time to time may creep 
In course of time, will yield
But with a slight scratch, may bleed

The Ache Before the Hurt

This ache,
this longing,
this not fitting in—
it was always there,
long before any hand struck me,
long before any name was taken from me.

I was born reaching.

Painful wisdom tooth extraction blues.
Creamy ice cream is best possible cure.
Testing flavours might console me.

Ache of Strings and Bow

A wail escapes from its bow

Each note rising, ebbing

To cut into my pinch of ache;

While strings quiver on flesh, 

A wail escapes from its bow.
A Prized Refrain

Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings Poetry Contest

Physical exhilaration drowns
bony aches,
emotional pain,
intellectual angst,
social discontent,
psychological drama,
hunger pangs.
Untethered my soul soars
thus my heart sings.

Premium Member Tooth Ache - Odd Facts 004

In 1978, Doug Prichard of Lenoir
went to the doctor,
his foot was sore.
The doctor was a tremendous help.
He found a tooth 
growing in Doug’s instep.

Ache

I miss your angelic face
I miss your sweet voice
In the middle of the night
I miss your moon conversations
Your warmth
When you touch me
I ache for you
You leave me asking for more.

Grief

Like a bruise melting from blue to black, grief shows up slowly,
Appearing in the steam of coffee once shared, a laugh similar,
Yet as scabs heal back to pink flesh, grief’s ache dulls with time.

Ache

When I laugh--
I think of you,
It hurts.
And
When I cry—
There’s no one there,
Just tears.
So
When I smile—
I fool the world;
Sunburst.
But
When you’re near—
You leave me calm,
No fears.

Sea of grief
Silencing my light
Daring me to see
Beyond the shadows, the greed
Breathless need

Ocean’s still
Cool sea of belief
Restoring each dream
Writing hope beyond the need
Selfish pride

Antidote not found to wounds,
Carved tender on the inside,
Hardened by scars yearning to heal,
Eroding body and mind

Heart Ache

She looked at me
Confused and anxious
Why?..
The unmouthed question
Because i care so much..
The unspoken answer
Sometimes those who love
Hurt each other the most
And not all the time
Is it a deliberate act

Ache

If only you could hold my hand,
You'd likely feel and understand...
The pain way down deep inside,
The love my heart has been deprived...
My heart, my body and my soul, 
Feels nothing more than deep dark coal...

Union That Ache

Life is the fragile substance 
             the only that can 
disappear in a breath 
             and make a bluster 
in the silence 
             mangling multiples
 hearts
             Married by the same pain.

Aftertouch

I loved like a flame with no wind to fight,
still I flickered—just to feel alive.
He never stayed, but always lingered.
The echo outlasts the word.
I reach for what was never mine.
Even ghosts are warmer than silence.

Premium Member Ache To Pain

I wouldn’t call it lust
For that I can control
It’s the absence of restraint
And longing in my soul

What keeps me in suspense 
And turns my ache to pain
A need to cherish and love someone 
Who doesn’t feel the same
Form: Rhyme

I Ache

I ache for the sun.
I ache for the warmth to reach my bones,
And despell the depression that grows there.
I ache for happiness to shove through my veins
And reach into my corrupt mind.
I ache to be saved,
From myself.

4 H Ache of Age

Fall is friend of hold
the harvest
Winter friend of hope
So cling to heart
Spring friend of heart
Rehab and rehearse
Summer friend of hand
No scarcity
So forget the heart
Where?
where so the heart
to the hand
to hold the hope

Premium Member Where would I be without you?

my body and my heart are fragile brittle mostly broken
your visit and your kindness mean the world to me
you sing your song and the healing of my soul begins
~ rebuilding the bridge to hope
