Whole mankind benumbed

Premium Member Dormant Heart

The quiescent heart
Sleeps in a benumbed setting
For many decades
Waiting for the flame that melts
The ice that serves as shelter

Premium Member Layered Pain

Deep tunnel of wound gripping
bored deep in sensual strata
surface sheared in excruciating trauma,
sink to petrified depth of unfeeling...stillness
at benumbed bottom of layered pain...placid.

' Wake Up '

apathy benumbed, chaotic deeds embroidered friendships gnawed, hatred indurated jiffy keen loss met, noble outrage preserved queries repudiated, songs tuned unheard vague wisdom exalts, youth zzzzzzzzzzzz.......

Black Tantrum

Something yond is sore to proveth,
judging those who is't disagreeth,
hurst nay hast peat swamp.

People breath their owneth blood,
Ulcers replaceth green air?

Benumbed lungs and panshard death,
city born city bred?

A Line Of Trees

A line of trees
Cold blown; benumbed.
What glows for Day's eye thereneath
Sinister is.

Late Autumn eve.
Fogs of cursed tales
Now fall. Funeral bell toadstools
Pixies atop.
Drifter, into a bog's slop
Enticed, amiss....

Yawns the Dawn

cold blanket warms
my benumbed
feet.

tired aluminum moon
has long gone
to bed.

drowsy dawn yawns
behind hilly
silhouettes.

languid breeze is a spider's
web touching
my nape.

smiling, I start dreaming
it is, once again,
morning !

Malaybalay, Bukidnon

this cold blanket warms 
my benumbed 
feet

tired aluminum moon 
has gone 
to bed

drowsy dawn yawns 
behind hilly 
silhouettes

languid breeze is a spider's 
web touching 
my nape

smiling, i start dreaming, 
it is once again, 
morning!

Reverie

Sitting idly by the river with a fishing rod in my hand A timeless afternoon spent in reverie, eyes benumbed Watching cloudlets floating across distant mountaintops I find myself all hooked up, writhing happily in the sand.

Premium Member Depth of Unfeeling

Deep tunnel of turmoil winding
  bores deep within the sensual strata 
    surface sheared in excruciating trauma 
      sinks to benumbed depth of unfeeling...
        seamless stillness.

Desolate tunnel of wound devouring

Dug deep within the sensual strata

Soul sheared by excruciating shock

Sinks to benumbed depth of unfeeling...

Stillness.

Yellow English

Benumbed was all focus
Each element that descended
Within my wake
Mirrored a distinguished display
Of carmine cloudbursts and vanilla memories
Whilst I gazed above the windowsill
Though each and every existence
Defines the epitome of significance
Now and infinitely forevermore
Form: Verse

Fractured Realities

I surrender my body to the place of great relief Where sights dissolve and sounds concede Existing, only inside Where living means to die To wander the lands of misrule To experience the fates I have yet to meet My senses benumbed by the cushiony black I'm never coming back

Finding My Way In Life

Oftentimes I ponder befuddled 
My Sensations benumbed, my mind muddled 
On what at last to do with life
To solve the inside ceaseless strife
Of feelings and thoughts that bring me pain
And pin me down with mental strain
Yet the epiphany is worth the thought 
Tis the one thing that must be sought

Everything's Nothing

self benumbed feeling
                                  expand from all directions
                                        zero sensation

                                     return from journey
                              then feel what happens and see
                                    everything's nothing

Premium Member Tolerant Unfeeling

In endless dark tunnel, 
winding incisive anguish
delves deep tireless through 
insensate sensual strata. 

Visual surface of being sheared 
to shards by excruciating trauma, 
sinks to benumbed depth 
of tolerant unfeeling... 
        
seamless stillness.

Whiskey Girl

Sandton girl of practice law,
ocean crystal eyes,
exuberant,
contagious laughter without flaw

whiskey smiles of blissful joy,
alluring nordic visage,
adventurous,
seductive, unapologetically coy

my thoughts of you electrify,
absorbing magnetic energy
benumbed
countless days dreaming go by

my last breath is you,
and my first,
truth,
vulnerability, I now pursue
Form: Ballad

Gait

My gait spasmodic
I staggered drunkenly
My inner voice a thousand tongues
Of crazed cacophony

In mumbling incoherence
My muddled mind benumbed
I sought the words I fumbled for
As if I were struck dumb

But sentence was unstructured
And thought was compromised
Were I to even form a word
Complexity – be mine

The Thought took hold – though – 
In shape – and form – and slowly
I expressed in words
What only wise men know –
Form: Rhyme

Avalanche

Resting beneath this heavy avalanche
My heart turned from summer to winter
Ice caused my lips to blanch
Couldn't get enough by the shudder.

My feet got cold as they were exposed
To season's numb disposition
But my love for her didn't repose
Though I was losing my recognition.

Time and again, without even refrain
The end was running closer to me
My wicked body benumbed, couldn't feel pain
Yet my heart was still yearning to thee.
Form: Rhyme

Hara-Kiri

valor that taunts, defies danger,
   thumbs its nose even at death,
      makes dying most honorable
         for this wounded war creature;

         life worth living and killing for,
      mind so benumbed by violence,
   inured by pain and suffering,
jaded stiff, deadened by death;

in the face of crushing defeat,
   seething self-pity, quiet rage,
      loathing thoughts of surrender,
         the warrior plunges his dagger!

The First Ever Teachers

The first ever teachers 
now idle 
at the entrance,
with feet benumbed.

Drunk with feelings  
and wisdom being ebbed,
they fly lies,
he said – not me. 

Crowned with thorns, 
wearing briers 
and clenching our rags
HOME we left.  

Shelters mocked at us
and insults rained on us;
here, we stand again
but at the entrance. 

Shall we rush into the class 
as a troop  
and sprinkle emotions 
on the withering plants.

Starry Crown

Feast galloped into a hole
And king held just its tail
But his tummy did tell
A tale his tongue didn’t tell.

I’ve read an anti-heroic tale:
A jackal a king cat fooled
And aptly proved him a fool
Witless, tasteless, and old.

Voices hissed in her ears
To mourn, to fight for rights
Or free this bloodless tree
And flee from deceit and lie.

“I’ll wear,” lastly, he did swear,
“Atop, thee, my starry crown
And sit beside thee benumbed
Adoring thy rosy, fairy feet”.
Form: Lyric

Exulted

Exulted! That I could inhale
After the breath had ceased –
The timely, saving, gasp(!)
My desperate lungs did seize
Ballooned my aching spirit
As wings that further flight
Will shower land-low eyes
With vistas wide with sight –

Delivered from the crippling chains
That held me struggling, still
My mind – benumbed – was re-engaged
And then, empowered by a vital will
Soundless as the word unspoken
I sudden started to,
As if a link had severed,
And life
Began anew!
