A Vain Request

Pain is much too personal for verse,
Don’t curse
The reader with your anger-anguished words.
Rhyme flowers, sun and birds.

Premium Member Warmth Fluttered

uttered fluttered flame still ignited 
    as summer stuttered steps faded;  
      held my anguished face, 
        muttered and laid a breath kiss.

Angst
Nerve-racking 
Intensifying stressful tensions
Anguished, worrisome, troubling, sorrowful

Charity

Lord, bless me to hear and see others unspoken needs

Before, their anguished cries or unheard pleas

Lord, Grant me wisdom while on my knees

Bless me with charity, in word and deed

a mother's love, turns to anguished screaming - her babies, gone.

The Escape

Vanished glitter, evaporated beauty and shape
Faces that the fabric of wrinkles of agony drape

Tormented and anguished soul in the body’s unsightly prison 
  Without the succor of death is there an escape?

In front of the bed
Tormenting the anguished lost soul
As infectious flies flying in open wounds by sins
Escaping from the reality with delusions appearing as real to feebled mind

Time Is the Fire In Which We All Burn

Time Is the Fire in Which We All Burn

By Elton Camp

One day, Sue gave an anguished scream		

How it all happened, she couldn’t dream		

Hair unruly, breasts did sag

Her dress was a rag

“I once was on the cheerleader team!”

Redemption

your light has long extinguished
only sadness remains
over promises you have anguished
a dark side that couldn’t be tamed

a spark is all you need
to rekindle what was lost
all those whispers you should not heed
redeem your soul at any cost

Premium Member Halcyon Hope


Torment tempests perish psyche
Anguished anger blazes the maligned mind 
Seethes sad life to cinder cake 
Agony ashes soar to fly far
Bleakness blurs dark despair 
Enticed essence seeks solace in 
Halcyon hope of rare rapture
Form: Verse

Premium Member Floods

Torrential rain falls
Rivers swell, bursting their banks
Floods consume the land

Houses submerged deep
Anguished cries of lost homes rise
Water, ruthless foe

Nature's wrath unleashed
Mighty force engulfs all life
Hope floats amidst fear
Form: Haiku

Blood Stains

blood stains the sidewalk where I walk
broken hearts lie beating on the ground
tears are the only currency in this town
carnage surround me, human wreckage all around
anguished cries begging for a reprieve
tortured souls sorry for their misdeeds.

When Angels Cry

The wind… That through Barren limbs sighs Soulful sound That seeps round Loose windowpanes And sides The silent sound From anguished eye The heart That cries out “why?!” Tis the soul-torn Sound of tears We hear… Sound made …when Angels cry…

Regret

Regrets' embrace stirs past the hour
Ere long after best forgot
Anguished lamentations auger
Stains the shade of envies plot
Follower of deeds most dour
Bears the pall in every wake
Bids inter the tangled flower
Of passion birthed for envies sake

Premium Member Fault of Being Human

In the most anguished moments of my life
times when my mistakes cause me strife
I feel I deserve a birch wood beating
to go unpunished would be cheating 
and then I recall
that through it all    
with trepidation loomin'   
I am only human

Spider Web Tears

Spider Web Tears


My tears to a spider web cling

Captured sorrow
teetering on woven thoughts
and anguished pleas

Freely in the wind and sunlight glare

Until falling,
finding the earth barren and parched,
absorbed until they mean 

nothing
