Searching for cobalt waters:
Tortured by the sun....

Devastated spirit
Immeasurable pain
Voiceless feelings
Open wounds
Removed trust
Closed heart
Endless guilt...

The violent tornado 
vengeful 
overpowering 
through peaceful puddles 
trembling windows 
uprooted cellars 
devastated lives...

We journey
from the devastated Earth
to the Moon
then settle in Mars
but there's no love for Mars
only a burning ambition
to recolonize Earth....

our paradise, lost
strewn and scattered, dashed upon
the beaches, our dreams
harrowed by a demon wind
heaven, devastated, drowned

Dashed devastated betrayed
Annihilated crucified smeared
Smashed dribbled drowned
Discouraged disbelieving debilitated
Life holds less meaning now
Unbelievable sadness...

He ran from north to south,
Running from who he was,
Afraid to face who he sees,
This travelled with him,  
He was devastated,
He sought to be a recluse.

Instead of Having To Be Humiliated

Instead of having to be humiliated,
Leaving home and were evacuated;
And all alone,
On our own;
Instead did want enemy devastated.

proud hurricane makes it's premier 
lashing, tormenting the STRATOSPHERE 

swirling in an ominous degree
black clouds above siphon the SEA 

devastated earth takes toil
awaiting re-birth, nurtured SOIL...

estrangements
aftermath 
try to clean 
up the 
emotional
mess 
make an attempt 
at clearing away
the sentimental 
debris that
has been
left over by the 
emotive quake
that devastated 
the internal land 
of yesterday...

A car crash and he wouldn't go to the emergency room.
He was septic but he died only a few hours after he was admitted.

It was a useless death he could have been saved,
I was devastated at the loss and wasn't able to tell him how much I loved him....

It’s hard to ease the pain,
Of something hoped for dearly– 
To try to hide the hurt,
When bruises show too clearly

The loss of what we thought was real,
Has left a hole in both our hearts,
And though I know our wounds will heal,
It's hard when good things fall apart....

I thought my broken edges would adjust with yours perfectly and aligned,
but you devastated them into pieces undefined.
I tried to gather them up but the shattered pieces pierced my hands in pain.
How strange is it that the wounds are somewhere else and I am bleeding by pen!...

Aching feet
Legs feel like sticks
Back and shoulders 
Need a fix.

Hands arthritic,
Can't take the cold
Workin' too hard
And gettin' old.

Too tired body
Depletes my mind
Devastated by
The daily grind

Here comes Thursday
Friday's best
Thankful for
A weekend rest....

The lighting, it was over-bright
The knife reflects, true loves hatred 
I plead for mercy so much hate
The lighting, it was over-bright
I break flight into the dark night
police light, bang, devastated   
The lighting, it was over-bright
The knife reflects true loves hatred.

wolf stands at top of only timber he can find
studies barren wasteland 
which used to be home
destroyed by man’s fire 

lone wolf keening 
searches for lost mate
not understanding this devastation
hating man more than ever before 

family gone
clan gone
lone wolf, stands alone 
too devastated to howl...

Life is such a precious gift,
make the most of it and
don't take it for granted.
Spend time with loved ones.
The gift of life goes in a flash.
I am devastated on this day.
It's only the sixth day of 2022
2 family members passed away
within three days of each other.

Devastated, destroyed, i am a little toy. 
A little doll, broken, beaten.
I deserve it all, for all the scars and all the pain.
I've caused too much, I must suffer the rain.
It will not wash away my sins, but drowned me instead in them.
I wont scream, you wont hear my silent cries.
Ill take what I deserve. 
I deserve to die....

Listen to poem:

I feel sorry for the plants
stuck in a glass bowl garden,
just as I'm sad to see a goldfish
locked up in a bowl, jailed.
For vivarium is just an aquarium
a pen for living things locked up,
encapsulated, emaciated, ghastly devastated.
The beauty lies in the empty bowl of glass
please set it free!
Just listen to Dale Chihuly!...

Why is it called ECSTASY – your two friends lie in a mortuary.

Free; exist, not living
                Feelings devastated
                            Faceless in emotion
                               Flowers of past now dead
                           Forever gone, new start
                Frantic to find new love
Futile in my hearts want

I was just a girl trying to get through life. Trying to fight every obstacle that would get in my way. But then, came a point were I was lost, I was devastated because I didn't know what to do. It was like I was 2 souls in 1 body. 1 soul was a burning flame and the other was as cold as the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica, on July 21, 1983....

the presents of you
ever presents views I see
visons of you, you're

devastated, hurt
beyond recognition just...
just one hurt, one look

one look beyond your...
mind's eye piercing the skies
you stand and cry, sigh...

visons of you, you're
beyond recognition just...
one look, just one hurt,
