The sharp shrill scream sounds
As an echo in a cave
Trembling surroundings 
As spectre wanders sadly
To be saved from the condemn

Really Angry, Getting EasieR
Actually contemplating ferAl
Godforsaken acts, FURY Goading,
Effortlessly Growl, A Roar Ending.

So it would seem, rage has brought me full circle,
 wondering why I ever thought I was here....

The story of that godforsaken heart 
was racing through my mind,
for those who do not remember the past 
are condemned to repeat it.
The warmth of the life inside me
it gave strength and comfort
when all seemed lost....

UNNERVED

a fresh grave, gravelly dug,
collar gathered and put upon.

the doghouse, below the gloam,
godforsaken with a gaping hole.

guard of gray-glass, at midnight,
hardly hinders gathering ghosts.

unnerved fear grips my sleep,
gangly bedroom curtain grieves.

COMPUTATIONAL SUMMONS ...
DAMNATION'S DEMONS DRIVE
INTELLIGENT MACHINES.
HELL BOUND IN CIRCUITRY 
BOARDS WITH DIGITAL IMAGING
A GODFORSAKEN ENIGMA BUILT 
IN INFERNO'S HOT SILICON MATRIX. 
DESOLATIONS DIVINITIES
RULE A VIRTUAL LABYRINTH.
THE CELESTIALS CREATED MAN!
MAN DESTROYED THE DIVINE, INSANE!
THE PROFANE CREATED SACRED MACHINES
OF TWISTED LOGIC, SPARKS RAIN!...

The storm whipped legs to huddles;
It spoke with the discarded clothes 
of mad clowns.

I watched small birds explode, deer swim 
toward the night, raccoons sail
a godforsaken sky.

A mottled land shook its muddy ribs.
Ducks sunk amid churning reeds.
A whittling wind hurt every heart.

I closed cowering eyelids,
hid from the calamity jig
of the bobbing 
and the dead....

In this godforsaken place, I felt disconnected
from the climbers around me--
emotionally, spiritually, physically…
Jon Krakauer pg 63 Into Thin Air

EVEREST

to breach topmost peak
one must reach
pittance of soul’s wit

bodies warmth
all but dead near climb’s
great escape

Unrest in me
made me so and not that,
in whatever doings and whoever is me:
something crams upwards
weaves web over web
around the thoughts.

Is it so, want it else:
it’s so damn cold
when all quivers.

Hammer and forge
my dearest words
for whom I don’t possess.

Want to caress 
everyone’s head
in a sacrament,
be so for ever,
till night ebbs from me
in a godforsaken box....

Verbally admitting your love
Allowing your heart to show
Learning that the feelings aren't shared
Exiting the room in despair
Nothing else hurts more
Than this godforsaken day
If you are heartbroken and alone
No one wants you, no one cares
Everyone else is happy, why cant you be
Seems like its too much to ask
Dreams are the only defense you have
Against this dark loneliness
You are truly alone...

Do Not Stow Your Life Away


Do not stow your life away
Or stray in some godforsaken play
Nothing worth having is just given away
Do not look the other way

Embrace with open heart
What now seems the hardest part
And should you get carried away
Or even lost in any way

A nudge, a touch I will apply
Night and day on me you can rely
For it is you, my child,
Who forges firm untied

This precious life...

A soul lost and wandering
Never caring for anyone
Love is just some ritual
That's only good for some

Never looking for the good
Just searching for the bad
A smile be never shown
Laughter never had

A dreary soul without a heart
A Godforsaken being
Only here in misery
Without no love or feeling

This soul will leave this mortal coil
Never knowing love was there
Just never opened up his heart
To know that people cared...

Deserted 
    Desolate 
    Destitute 
    Empty 
    Homeless 
    Isolated 
    Lonesome 
    Reclusive 
    Solitary 
    Abandoned 
    Alone 
    Apart 
    By oneself
    Companionless 
    Estranged 
    Forsaken 
    Godforsaken 
    Left 
    Lone 
    Outcast 
    Rejected 
    Renounced 
    Secluded 
    Sinking

    Twenty-four black roses
    Hanging around my neck
    Twenty-four hangmen
    Collecting on loves debt...
