Life was a burden till death set me free -
Now granite gravestone being hard on me?!

In my arms I will carry you
Feel no burden when I'm with you
Veins in my stems will follow you
I am your Tarlkin Bayou.
Precious diamond balls
From the eyes of pain, slacken-
The burden of life

insatiable...
a necessary burden
Journeying through life
Enervates spirit
engaging worldly pleasures
a walking billboard
~*~
written on his face
woes he carries like Atlas ~
a beast of burden

The weight of your words…
by the pound,
by the pain
The heaviest memories,
forever
—remain
(The New Room: April, 2021)
I'm above sin yet it's burden yet does call I shall not answer the call~

Word count a burden,
lines adding weight
Meaning gets crushed,
—feelings deflate
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
Time is like money
When you waste it, it feels like a burden
But I always seem to overestimate it
And waste it as if I was rich
I escaped outside for peace
Among the flowers and the grasses
And breathed – and layed my burden down
On my corrective glasses
Two worlds, four shoulders
Whole universe above us
Taking the first step
I'll gladly take the burden,
But won't be taken lightly
I’m counting the days
like faded rosary beads...
light’s losing its gloss
in old dusty memories
my forgotten passion lies
the dark cloud ever present
holding a grudge was only hurting me
~ so i let it go

Horrifying moment comes
Wherever you feel scared
Burden appears
Only when you feel weak
Failure takes place
Whenever you feel can't
"Nap," written in blue
Resting means I'm a burden
Get no rest at night
To see the depths of my soul
You might just know rejection
stepping is tranquil
living is facile..
Difficult and problematic
is to carry the burden ...
He wants to look hot and "spicey"
But hair "rugs" are much too pricey
So he's getting some plugs today
Cuz he just doesn't want toupee'
Standing apart
from truth
Life came
into focus
Its burden
had lifted
Detached
— I was free
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
No longer am I a person
Lost one shoe, life has worsened
Can't go on
Hobbling along
Must I go barefoot to relieve the burden
if not for men
and their will
to open
their fists
and their hearts
tragic feminine
beasts of burden
the will of men
still in their carts
Form:
serious vagueness to choppy doubt ,
always an affliction .
prolonged this will burden !
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • August 24–30, 2026)
The blinding light,
The clouds now part.
A gentle path appears.
A heavy burden lifted,
And then, the quiet hum,
A single prayer now whispers.
Words' sad burden
Most stay clear of
When asked, in leaning, to bear.
Yet when tear-dropped
Of greater weight
Do rush, their support to share.
Can i love without trust
Can i touch your heart,
without u touching my heart
And i need to know if safe enough to let me burden down around u
Failing of sins afflict the soul within.
Jesus carries the life of the law in you.
Be the wailing of sorrows in prayer.
For Jesus sees them there.
