Lonely longing for Catharsis

Purification
Rinsing away the debris
Hidden for decades
Until one day you woke up
Trying to regain lost years...

before the refreshing wind of  night
   I unload what's  hurting me  much
 and stay with the suave relief of Porto wine!...

a renewed state of 
emotional catharsis is what
written expression brings
with it's purification of 
past hurts in it's wake 
creating an internal 
release of pent up tensions...

turquoise sea on beach
surges in  those fondling chins ...
stars of catharsis

Inspired by but not written for a contest



I once knew a man from Tarsus
He had only one way of catharsis
He would sit on a pot, 
and release all he'd got
Stressing his point with an arsis...

Spilling my tears,
 drying my inner river
 washing my soul inside
This I do when I laugh...
When I laugh with an opened smile
when I clean out   sourness
I feel lucky on the outside
and renewed within... !...

Vile

Dart

Piercing

Hindsight Thoughts

Bring Anguish and Grief

Remove this Vile Thing from my brain

Memories flow out with arterial bleeding

Flushed out with unconstipated relief as catharsis regains hold on reality...

Wind,
look how 
wild it blows
across the waves;
Ancient melody;
A song of catharsis,
whitecaps wash the pain away;
The innate noise bestowed on you 
it cancels out the internal drum;
Ocean breezy circadian rhythms....

there are creatures that sleep
as minerals
dream as vegetables,
wake up as animals
 to be  as criminal...
Regression in time and space...
Me, by my side
I, what God ordains me
I simply do
so I'll recognize who I am!...

Cut down routine, dine 
Alfresco.
Toss your shadow in the evening wind
Harmonize your dreams with the 
Allure of a half moon wooing a
Red tinged 
Sunset,
Inner peace
Sets in stealthily...

Tonight the gibbous moon shined bright
Like catharsis for my infinite thoughts

Touched by natural chords, he
Called me above dark treetops
Amid cerulean skies.
As if, I belong with them, among myriad and myriad of stars, 
He drew me closer, ever nearer...

Like Writing Limericks

Like writing limericks best I know for sure;
Are so nice and short and easy to endure;
Another one came;
Some more of same;
Even though modest and remain obscure.

Jim Horn

Kind of like osmosis and catharsis at the
same time....

can't stop till I read
every single one of them
why -in-the-world- not?

good, bad, in-between
virtues, vices, and feelings
it all takes me back

youthful nostalgia
library psychiatry
free book catharsis

my inner-school-self
needs literary healing
ongoing escape...

I
dreamt of
a poem
forgot the words
As beneath the salty cold brine of tears
silence floats, whilst I’m coloring kohl rain
in metaphors
of regret
across
blood
red
ruby 
carnations
that bleed silken
sonnets for an ocean-dipped catharsis
...

Horizon of knelling bells
Adequate feeling bestowed
Hue, odor, sound, sensation
Harmoniously dwell
Tangible gnosticism
Catharsis
Potency yells
Largess
Ample satisfaction
Darkness, Thy power quells
Allah, family, thought

Camelot...Freedom
 
Allah: Arabic word for God...

Catharsis
By Carolyn Devonshire


heart
wisdom
comes with age
experience
so many emotions and events stored
flushed quickly from memory to my page
release, let go
catharsis
gives me
peace

White dunes fluttering sands
in the heart delusional disappointments
in my world it was the edge of time
since you left in an april
this and everything on this beach I realize
nothing seduces me anymore....
All this sadness, dead landscape
in this beauty I am less than a grain...

C rying my heart out 
A t night, watched only by God,
T ears flow at their own pace,
H ardly controlled by me;
A wake I lie, my mind working,
R apid thoughts come and go,
S ilence slowly silences my sadness.
I magination mingles with heartfelt words.
S erene, I write, each line a cathartic revelation.

the end I warn you:
catharsis of bad things
that converging in blocks
form an antagonistic empire
your face will show everything
sad frown
but even that won't keep away
the phalanx spears
pointing victorious
for the ride of the hours
unbalancing fate
and paving the path of indifference
of what will survive...

Writing is a catharsis for my pain, lighting my way through the 
darkest hours.         ~  by poet


pens are the vessels that pour forth our words
ladling ink 'cross blank pages
drawn from wells in our hearts

No, no, no,no.
Catharses catharsis abounds equals equal being worth.
Jesus Christ beauty bastions newly grounded work.
Furthermore my love,
Apologize to that guitar man.
His sentimental chimes.
Are shaking my rebricate quill.
Greasing both pork rinds.
Do as I do.
Not as I say.
I don't know.
Get saved anyway.
Rinforzando!...

I hail Catharsis.
Where are you, friend?
Tell me where to go.
Give the path that hath
some sort of answer.

You know while
I do not and
maybe never will.

This world is Big.
I am a protozoan.
I abuse you, Catharsis.
You turn me on
When my engine is cold

Purr for me so I can follow 
your beat or at least
some grandiose rhythm....

Do I keep it simple,
because simple is my mind?
Do I use the words,
just to make a rhyme?
Am I being honest?
The demons that I hide.
Complexities and complications.
Only in my mind?
Are my searching eyes deceiving?
What do I hope to find?
Do I remain a dreamer,
because reality I fear?
Do I write line after line,
so I won't disappear?...
