Everything I regret happened so many years ago.
Nowadays I refuse to be taught just how to even let go.
Until that night I overcame my embittered ego.

Dark and mysterious
Are the depths
Of the human heart
Separated by cruel fate
We spend our embittered lives apart.

Ebrious by today
Exhausted by yesterday
Embittered by tomorrow,
Give me one more,

I am greedy for another,

Bar me from life,
I am her alcoholic lover.

crimson lips
stained with blood of saints
rides the beast
steers the reins
embittered roar portends doom
her end imminent
Spin a Shadorma

Rest in Peace if you can Jonathan Jones
As the spirit departs your flesh and bones
For years you led a philandering life
Now lie fore'er next your embittered wife

Symphony of Life
An embittered phase
Birthing a beaten man
swapping in-between worlds
With ebbing expectations
Prompting shattering wills
A stolen life
on a broken path
Spattered with fading faith
Swirling nowhere

Narrative
we are in the space between
seemingly interminable horror
and grace's destiny
as we walk into abyss
i see perfection's possibilities
but patience worn down
brought upon by long lines
and I worry for the future.
so much red anger
embittered hatred.

Tinker's wand like glitter bomb
Leaves sparkle and twinkle waste
All over the place.
Glints that arise from the deep blue sea
To ride as litter on ripple crests
Shimmering sea of fairy lights.
Jitter bug's bitter slug with glitter
Makes seascape an embittered blinding emitter.

The silent soul
who sullenly
seeps within
the sentimental
seas of solitude.
Always lead astray
by every
passing day.
Just to remain
amongst the stars.
Striding through
time’s strangled streams
of faintly
faded dreams.
Embedded beneath
the once blue
eyed beams of an
embittered beauty.

Likes to Dali herself up whilst reading,
assumes abstract designs will enhance
the benignly inartistic life story she's writ,
can scarcely sit through her own tediously
scripted fecklessly poetical verses moreover
embittered embellishments 'tween the blank
spaces of her once upon a failed phantasma

So alive,
So vibrant,you were
Until death embraced you,
Snuffing out your dreams and hopes
It has been two rains
Since your eternal sojourn.
Though I see you as if you were,
In lived memories.
I often ponder where you are.
Can you see us?
Embittered not by your crossing.
For we all have the same course.

I am embittered now
No more excuses
The end is nearer
Than the beginning
So it doesn’t matter any more
Catch the look in my eye
The sparkle has gone
And now the only thing to see
Was blackness in depth
For in the end
I do please myself
The last decisions made
Will be mine alone.

Ballad
Embittered winter
indignant
spreads rancor
erudite in malice.
Irreverent arbitrate
derisive
disdains masses
sardonic in verse.
Vengeful slayer
belligerent
inflicts brutality
pitiless in wrath.
Steadfast rime
unyielding
immovable blight
resolute in rage.

“Like free roaming stallions - my liberated dreams.”
Apprehensive, I lay my weary head
on the pillow of each long and restless night
embittered by pursual of revenge
till forgiveness came and spurred my demons’ flight.

Verse
Others found him cold, aloof
a bit of a snob
He kept his own counsel
had nary a friend
Seemed content with a life
unengaged, to no clear end
Though his insides were churning
through felt rejection
his embittered heart burning --
Yet on his face not a trace
of his inner discernings
of deep-buried yearnings

Rhyme
Memories are all I have,
Intense and suffocating.
Churned out emotions needing salves
Healed, yet unrelenting
Abject surrender to your wiles
Embittered by time
Looming reminiscence of your smiles
Sealed in my mind
Anguishing on a future lost
Grieving over what once was,
Agonizing at what it has cost
Remembering mem'ries of a distant past

Acrostic
Long arms of tender compassion
Oneness of embittered Humanity
Visceral faith was your salvation
Encompassing all vain materialism
Lenitive of the corporal punishment
Illuminating a hope encrypted in a
Necropolis of suppressed ideas
Extruding life from deep darkness
Seeping rain from saturated soil
Sedative of every entombed soul

I reach down, my hand brushing the soil,
The dead earth now charred and barren, decayed -
All that we have touched is now grains in my palm,
A madness that stems from a despotic rule.
Our own fervour about almighty justice nailed.
Is a fierce rush of revenge and power.
Is this how we are meant to be?
Tyrants of the world, embittered in lunacy.

Verse
The flame that lit my heart,
And then love, faint in death below.
Their voices no longer heard.
~ should I cry?
Yet, a brave despair has arrived.
Recurring death of trust,
Embittered. Circumscribed alone.
~ should I cry?
Tried to revive within me
The symphony of beautiful memories,
A song of an innocent soul. Failed.
~ should I cry?
...should I?

thoughts completely unbidden
burst beyond consious moments
struggling times overwhelm
threating normal dephts unhidden
dream like haze
unnoticed surface sounds
completely mocking maze
deathlike ressurection abounds
where innocent despair rains
notions squalor admist pain
embittered rattling
betwixt cuddled minds
battling bemuddled ideals
confusion squeals

Imagism
I‘m embittered by isolation like Ado turned to salt
but outside, the flowers are dueling for attention.
I am mortared in this seclusion as Catullus rendered stone
yet outdoors, trees bask and frolic in the sun.
I'm locked in place, punished, like I'd smiled at Medusa
yet the squirrels go about their gatherings as birds forage.
I am gently constrained, but freedom nips at the air and invites memory.

Bite this flesh of yellow burnish,
Suck deep of citrus and see, if
The beauty of the textured surface
Can be endured in reality.
Screwed up eyes and peeling lips,
The tremored hiss of breath, inhaled
As shudders rattle bones,
A chill, a shadow cast of death,
Yet look again, and beauty hungers,
Invites, beguiles, begs for this, unquestioned
Love devoted and purblind,
Embittered by Lucretia kiss.

Verse
I am but I,
Not perfect,
Nor do I seek to be,
Those that once clouded my mind,
Gone.
Lessons learned,
Never to be repeated,
Often judged by the way I look, dress, walk, talk,
Belittled, embittered,
Lost
Feelings that once hurt,
Turned,
Now forgotten,
Time moves on,
Panic, anxiety laden nightmares, fear of sleeping,
Conquered
I do not judge,
I do not mock,
I am kind,
I do my best,
I am but I

Blank verse
I can no longer suppress this deep loathing
That writhes and churns, flogs and smothers
Every loving and tender sentiment within
My sullen mind;
Once filled with vain gaiety and vain desire,
Now embittered.
Isolation can make weak even the strongest souls,
But a noose to the neck will not ease this pain,
For Death denies such true repose.
Then tell me, how can I ever be at peace,
When alive the guilt kills me so?
