Excruciating loss of limbs

As tears run uncontrolled...

when you smile at me
I watch the curve of your lips
as they part to speak-
then I heed the sad whispers
of a torn, grief stricken heart...

Listen to poem:

Grief stricken spirit;
          Heartfelt depthless soul; tear ducts
filled yon banks hold; spreads

          o'er a vast steep creek; thirst trails
          fluids back of walled eyelids.

Ms. Teabag come help me
Stressful and worn out
I needed some fresh breath
I wanna taste your teabags 
I wanna feel its warm
I’m drowning with sorrow
And grief stricken my soul
But Miss Teabag
When you lay down the bags
I feel a little better...

Her primal feelings
unleashed a torrent
of pure intensity

We tasted her sorrow
as tongues of fire
Her grief stricken

love filled heart
unleashed the force
of her pure passion

Illuminating our minds
with the knowledge
of her love and loss...

She laid upon a red satin cover 
Beside her laid her grief stricken lover
His tears were silent as it was hard to discover 
For his love had died in the arms of another
The music plays from the heavens that hover
The angels await to take them together...

Unsafe but no fear, numb is the lonely heart, 
Grief-stricken, engulfed with dejection, 
Pain merely a slender touch,
But senseless buds and frozen skin, 
And the soul lifeless ‘though breathing, 
Awaiting salvation certainly one day!

I grieve bloodstains upon your heart
I bleed out red dread of angsty art
Angry as a shark of envy…
Seeking prey viciously
In love with catastrophe
Grief-stricken drastically…
Paint your skies red wine, exceedingly RED
Toiling, vermillion souls fed upon it instead...

Ten perfect tiny fingers and toes
Only you were born sleeping
Uncontrollable tears flow from my eyes
Caressing your beautiful face
Heartbroken parents are grief stricken

Touch me with words contest

Her name was Nancy, I have not heard her laugh in thirty-eight years. She was 42.

We moms all said, “you will beat this;” we were optimists, and so was she.

She left her grief-stricken husband with three broken children four months later, 

We moms tried to help them pick up the pieces of their life, the best we could....

Beautiful
 jaded soul 
 Roses 
casket draped
Cracked masterpiece
Tears of joy
Peaceful intent 
Grief-stricken heart 
No love light lit
Tunnel growing black 
Nothing begins
 Soul drowning 
grasping 
too swift to swim
Gusts blowing
 lightning striking
Feelings useless 
heart pretends
Strength garnished
 Hope lost
Useless emotion
 With sickening cost...

Sunlight of gold
Dancing on the water
Of the slow paced
River where swans

Swim, get nourished
Play, where the swans 
Form a heart when
Their heads touch

External sign of love
Mated for entire life
If one dies the other
Despairs, grief stricken

May love again
But possibly die from grief
Committed love contained
Why can't people watch birds
And do the same...

fallen stars

like falling stars 
fading souls appear to be 
as they depart from this earth
 
to experience
their bright and streaming light
in their prime
their brilliance amazes 
and overwhelms me
 
their absence leaves me
alone and grief stricken
yet grateful for all of
the beauty they
brought to my existence
 
fallen stars
shall I never
forget your
translucent
illumination
until my own 
final hours...

I’m feeling the ups and downs 
I loss love that once was found 
I can’t bare it
All I know is that my heart was always loving and on course 

Grief stricken is taking my breath away
I can feel this way for now 
It’s ok

My mind deep in the hole
I pull myself out by seeing someone else’s smiling face back at me
The look was amazing 
The hope of something 
Slowly, cautiously I peer over the darkness seeing a glimmer...

Thunder rolls as trouble tolls and anger floods on in.
Rain pours down, i see you frown, your soul shakes from within.
Trouble deep as a widows sleep, who cant control her lost passion.
The harp will play, Hark! Hail to the new day!
her heart is without compassion.
I hear her cry, heavy let her sigh, with a grief stricken heart her kids will die.
as will i,
 but she no less will never.
Depart, depart,
 i knew you not!
Tis my head that you would sever....

I am the definition...
I am the definition Of sorrow; I am grief-stricken. 
I am the definition Of hope; I am reaching forward. 
I am the definition Of a broken heart; I am falling hard. 
I am the definition Of contentment; I am sated.
I am the defintion Of fear; I am a cowering lamb.
I am the definition Of courage; I am like a lion. 
I am the definition Of hatred; I am poison. 
I am the definition Of love; I am a beating heart.
I am the definition Of what you think......

All his ink wells ran dry
From uncertain thought
His nib dripping with ink from within,
The crimson script full of regret
From what has and has not been.

Grief stricken eyes
Nails turning to dust
Hair falling with every turn of the page,
He reeked of whiskey and the troubles it brought
The smell worsened as she started to age.

As the hour glass ticked
The months blew away
Times ocean began to swell
But not a soul came through at anytime 
Looking for his sweet so sweet Annabelle....
