Frayed

Gray day hideaway:
what an electric day!
Why I still try
   makes my head sigh
once anguish ebbs away.

An Endless Write of Painful Poems

If only my pen
can complain of its tiring
task, like a drunk lad--
it keeps moving to and fro,
for my anguish is nonstop.

Virtual Friends

Who understands our anguish
who shares our euphoria
Who presens their presence
although physically absent

slow, slower and slower we be
gentle, gentler and gentler yet
lest scars of unvoiced anguish
create ripples in the vast void

Comfort is needed,
Comfort is given.

Love is needed, 
Love is given.

Anguish is needed, 
Anguish is given.

And such is life.

An Empty Bassinet

Anguish paints the mask.
Choking on dysphoria
begrimes a collapsed heart.
Hypothermia sets in
when squeezing the color blue.

You're dying

You're dying.... 

I'm Cancer,
No denying.
I'm happy
No lying,
Years fighting,
Years trying,
I love that,
You're dying.

Soulagement

I crave the release
from the anguish of loving
the joy of my pain

whether by the grace of you
or by sweet sleep, forgetting.

Sipping the Dew

Limitless Love

The sheer anguish that must be 
ever-present in her blue eyes
would be more than enough for me
to try to heal her lonely, dark cries

Life Is Death

life is death
in the worry and anguish of the world

death is life
to die is to escape the anguish and live happily in another world

Endurance

Days of yearning pull at my heartstrings, I wait for everything and nothing. Years of anguish feed upon my soul, how long will I endure?

What I want taken
fate dealt to me a taste of
then took it away
like a child from its mother,
this anguish pitted so deep.

My ribcage is a battleground

My ribcage is a battleground 
Echoing with footsteps and the sound
Of soldiers in armour, soldiers in anguish
Rumors of you, as I turn into ashes

Obsession

Desire hardens to 
Points of obsession,
Irremovable urges cupped with anguish.
Laughter through the blackest hours,
Exhale soften and cushion the end.

The Anguish of the Creation

The anguish of the creation
is carried deep into the wind’s heart
and alights upon the clouds
so that it will come back
as a gushing water 
upon the Earth.

Sobriquet


Sadness fills me
Heartache shrouds me
Anguish consumes me 
Need overwhelms me
Endless tears unseen




DESPAIR (the utter loss of hope)

Searching For a Place

I am searching for a place
Where I no longer see your face
In every man I see
Where the anguish of my heart
Will forever depart
and joy returns to me.
