Premium Member Gazebo

Set up our gazebo for the summer, our joy overflows Adds another whole room to our sweet humble abode With the feeling of camping Helps to alleviate the cramping Making it homey helping us forget winter's cold

No Sleep

Instability, pain
Pain in my eyes at the bright light
Wanting sleep tonight
Sleep is ellusive again

So cold, and alone
Pain comes too regular now
Aches and grinding joints, 
Cramping, gnawing pain with shaking and weakness.

Night Time Poetry

Sitting here thinking about a poem to write,
So tired I am loosing sight
My fingers are cramping
and my head starts to hurt
I start thinking how much life is really worth
I can only determine how this poem will end
I mean, come on now,
I don't do this for pretend

IN CRAMPING BOWELS OF SHAME	

Defecated bigotry and political rhetoric,
Constipates justice and infects racism
With diarrhea—dehydrating vulnerable humanity:-
Meanwhile, halted here in the heated air of agony,
We sad souls sit here crying in cramping apathy:-

My Pain's Alive

My pain is alive
It decides when, where, and how it strikes
My pain lives
It has it own heartbeat
It races, paces
And it can even skip a beat
My pain has choices to make
Sick, burning, numbing, pricking
Cramping, ice cold, burning hot
Which to choose?
If it wasn't for my pain's life
Would I life?
All I know is my pain's alive


Premium Member Marathon Man

Running, running, running faster
Trying to stave off disaster
To keep from losing in this race
It's time that I picked up the pace

Breathing, breathing, breathing harder
Hope I don't end up a martyr
My lungs are burning, legs are weak
The finish line is all I seek

Cramping, cramping, cramping woes
I'm losing feeling in my toes
I know it's not a mortal sin
But Hell, I came in last again

I Don'T Want To Write Anymore

I don't wanna write tonight anymore.
My fingers are cramping more and more.

I keep getting rhymes rushing through my brain.
My hand grabs the pen no matter the pain.

I'm tired, Mind, make it stop.
Another day, I'll pick up where we left off.

My head's going to burst.
My body throbbing of sleep thirst.

Just for tonight, Leave me alone 
I need time on my own.
I need to go to bed and not write anymore.

Premium Member Fibro Friend

Oh for the Love of Fibro
there for me every day
constantly reminding me
she is here to stay

With twitches and cramping
aching and pain
heaviness, weakness
& a foggy brain

Stiffness & trembles
Tender skin too
exhaustion & rib pain
but that’s nothing new

It’s just my Fibro friend
keeping me alert
reminding me constantly
my life has turned to dirt

Oh for the Love of Fibro
wish she’d go away
she’s so damn clingy
& Aint no friend today.

Premium Member Sentimentality

Sentimentality

Most curious 
duality ... this
Sentimentality

Excessive tenderness,
sadness, nostalgia
corrupting modality,
distorting reality's
social edifice

Brain-cramping
contortion,
fierce pressure
building,
Sentimentality
wielding an
assault on
humanity! 

Liars lie with
impunity
Childhood
lessons lost
Darkness 
perverting civility 

Root of irrational passions,
misplaced idealism—
This insidious,
ever-swelling 
tsunami of 
Sentimentality
