it couldn’t take any more

His fickle addiction
to love, or was it war?

Higher Affliction

Beneath,
Moving higher,
Upset and distressed now,
Lapsed into disturbed sleep or grief,
Afflicted with uneasiness for you.

Addiction

Your soul stained
You set fire to the rain
Hate floods your veins

It’s your diction
It’s your affliction
It’s your addiction

That Is How Life Is

There is no lengthy night
     that prevents the day from rising...
         there is no affliction that
         be everlasting...!

Affliction

They were conflicted. 

About my affliction. 

There is no cure, they decided. 

But a remedy. 

That they will inflict upon me.

There's an affliction among many people that truly drives me insane.
It's known as diarrhea of the mouth with constipation of the brain.

By and by,
Tis the fate believers buy.

Twitter is an addiction
A serious affliction
Like heroin, meth, or crack
With this monkey on one's back
Lost between fact and fiction

Premium Member In Baubles, Allure

Born in the heart of the insecure
    of him who finds in baubles allure

    Consumed by Jealousy, one must abjure

Fear

Frequency of heart beat high
Extreme unexpectation apparent without a sigh
Affliction by an unseen trauma
Recurring in the mind is this non-existing failure tumor.

Endearment

My bones corrode
From the acidity of your endearment.
Stay away.
Keep your distance.
I am already decaying
From the affliction
Of all the tenderness I carry
For you.

When his wife caught her spouse fooling around
he claimed a medical reason sound:
I have an affliction—
A hot chick addiction!
Now he’s cured—six feet under ground

Stricken

I feel
this affliction
blood flows
without end
through darkened
poison veins
long suffering
at last
hope nears
if only
to touch
that hem
just once
may I
live stricken
no more

Tanka and Senryu

Tanka 
It is amazing
How many things happen 
In a tiny village
When you have time to see
How busy quietness is 


Senryu 
Illness of boredom 
A sedentary affliction
Lack of imagination
Form: Tanka

Misconception

Everything that seems is not what it seems,
But is an affliction to caress and subdue your frail mind,
With the illusion of peace, and salvation, in reality it is paved into a sinner’s oblivion.

Generational Confusion

She wouldn't allow me to enter her sanctum,
Due to my affliction entitled kindness
For she wanted tough love
A touch of insanity and a pinch of absurdness,
Kindness was my weakness
Never mind my apparent strengths

Going Home

Going Home
In a place I don't belong
Shackled to this others call home
Drinking of the water of affliction 
I just want to go home 
Death in secret I can't turn
In a vessel destined to burn
I just want to go home

Premium Member The Magpie

Of all the birds, both foul and fair, 
You stubbornly refused to wear

Full mourning at the Crucifixion, 
And were cursed with this affliction: 

Piebald broods of raucous young, 
The devil's laugh on every tongue.
