Raw power with soft edges
Couldn't ask for more,
I'm trembling in disbelief
My mind screaming for relief

Planet Earth

Suspended disbelief around her
She is empty of passionate-kisses
Yet her eyes found embodiment
Anarchy finds energy in her sphere

How Can I Live

It shook the world with chilling grief
Crying shame and disbelief 
Crushing every sense of pride
How can I live, where can I hide

His alchemy charge opened a sudden hole
In left in utter disbelief 
How words could be so vicious and cleave

Safe inside a fog of disbelief

Premium Member Do you care we're now an endangered species?

In the spring we're hungry
Dandelions are mowed down by the millions
We watch helpless in disbelief

and all is done
we sigh in disbelief
of that  beautiful moment in life
grasped in our hands 
for a brief second

Premium Member Paradoxes-dismissal and resonance

Paradoxes

Are stories with

 Responses of

Disbelief..or a 

Certain immediate

And quiet resonance

Which cannot be 

Explained..

Nevertheless...

Reality

I collided with a door that should not be,
My disbelief in the door did not cease its existence,
Reality augments and causes pain in my face,
And the door remains locked.

*denial or disbelief that something will be true
**unpunished

Voice

When in disbelief,
I sense the presence I cannot speak,
come again to my emptiness
as if by another's grace . . .
may I give something back
beyond the silence --
voice, place.

As Long As I Draw Breath

I awoke, and once again
Came the disbelief and pain.
Sat there on my bed I wept,
The agony hidden as I slept.
From my breast my heart was torn,
As long as I draw breath, I'll mourn.

Date Nuts

My first date turned out to be a fig
her hands, though soft, were rather big
to my relief

Watching Murder Documentaries

I shake my head in disbelief
and learn the details of a crime:
the relatives are full of grief,
the killer's angry, 'doing time',
the victims' bodies in quicklime...

Running By

was running by 
got distracted  
stopped dead 
took double take
started to walk 
away then decided
to turn around 
walked up 
got shot down
sat down in 
despair staring 
in disbelief

Last fall I took time watching a falling leaf,

Underneath it was something like my name

When I could clearly see,it became another name

I took the leaf and head back home in disbelief

Premium Member Grieving

No one knows your pain 
the emptiness of your heart 
the disbelief of losing a loved one 
and never saying 
I love you again in person 
never hugging them 
and holding them close 
we are just lost

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE LOVE

On those days my inner fire is being doused by apprehension, 
disbelief 
and doubt…
I am grateful

when my candle has burned out.

     seeking creatures who wish to live, not die

It is snowing.

There were one hundred and seventy car wrecks
in Kansas City yesterday.
I stare at the screen in disbelief 
not knowing what to say.
