One-Way Ticket

Phantom cities
Buried under chemical smell

Beasts digesting corpses
A Vomitus crush 
and a ticket to hell

Griefs and woes 
Nobody can spell

Souls out of shell
time to ring the bell 
A heartbreaking story to tell

Premium Member Lamentations

Sobbing withheld in silence and emotions oftentimes feels like their related to each other. Fears,  weaknesses,  mistakes.  Everyone seems to have their own issues and
one's soul  burning like charcoal upon a fire causing confusion, griefs, disappointments,
blood,  sweat and tears

Era provides too many funs
  I cannot hold all of them

World trails too heavy griefs
  I cannot get over them

Relationship tends too sticky matters
  I cannot keep freedom from them

Only loneliness strongly allows me
  place of peace and silence to see

Keelhaul

"Thou a cacodemon" jeered the crowd.
She heard all those voices , clear and loud.
They stormed and cowed her down. 
All they wanted was to see her drown.

Tired of all the incessant goad.
She chose to lurk in her abode.
She's now another dancing clown.
With griefs that weigh her down. ??

Salvation Acrostic

Surely He hath borne our griefs,
And our sorrows He hath carried,
Loving us, murderers and thieves,
Values He hath saw in us,
All we have gone astray, like sheep
Turning each of us to our ways,
I was putting Him on the cross,
Our sins, our transgressions
Not His, was upon Him, the chastisement of our peace.

You'Ll Know the Way To Take

I don't know the way that's before me,

The joys or the griefs it might bring -

What clouds overhang the future,

What flowers by the road may spring,

But someone will journey beside me,

Not in trouble or grief will forsake,

And this is my solace and comfort

Then I'll know the way I should take.



Stay strong.

Premium Member Connected

More than a handshake
a passionate kiss and 
embrace, 

we are connected in ways
even broader unseen – 

connected in our labors
and dreams…

in our joys and griefs

in our compassion
and blistering briefs~ how we petition 
our god

our forgiveness
and our sentences

we share our prisons

both the Jailer and thief

Premium Member Leaves of Life

We mourn the death of those
who through a season shared,
wept the morning dews,
their white veined fingers
wave at the rain, snickering,
cling through the breaths
     of gnashed clouds.
Then, each singular body falls
and becomes one pile of many,
like griefs we labor to endure
become memories of many lost
yet never truly...gone.

Regrets

Regrets

Deep down 
The regrets makes holes inside of me
They plunges into my veins and blood
Causes me to choke more than winter's cough
The body of mine is not anymore healthy
The regrets haves caused my parts to malfunction
My emotions are not mine anymore dear
They are devoted to griefs and regrets
Deep down
I am not the same person !

From Womb To Tomb

WOMB -
Dark and deep inside.
Suffocated and unconscious.
Soul inherits the body.
A new child is born.


In between -
Joys and griefs.
Part and parcel of life.


TOMB -
Life breathes its last.
Soul abandons the body.
Back to the eternity.
Back to dark and deep inside.


From womb to tomb
The soul-cycle continues
From tomb to womb.

Premium Member When People Die

Have you ever seen that shooting star?
When people die they don't go far..
Look at the sky on a warm summer day,
the love you two shared forever will stay..
Look to the stars that twinkle at night,
the soul of your loved one is still shining bright..
Open your heart when the griefs hard to bear
and realize their presence will always be there...

Griever

Here I am in tears over a story that’s never affected me 

Baggy eyes from a grief that’s never even mentioned me and yet my own griefs don’t frighten me-

I don’t cry over it, I got over it- 

I cry for others but not for me 

I’ve realized that I don’t deserve to cry over my grief

Because my grief has convinced me, it’s just a happy memory.

A WORD WITH POSITIVE ENERGY AND WHAT IT HAS TO SAY TO US

Breathe me in the air,
You will then know what is fair,
As life is just not same,
To one and all-But all your griefs I can tame.

I come to give you joy,
Which you can then enjoy,
I come without any fee,
As you can get me for free.

All you need is your mind,
To think about me and be kind,
Then I will win your heart,
And will stick to it like a stuck-chart.

Premium Member My Monster

My Monster





Selfishness my monster
was I born with acardia ?
Dejections came my way
and nourished the beast,
Griefs piled up constantly
that was the only feast,

As if I inspire disgust
and horror my face,
Deviations infinite
turning freak or fiend,
Humane or monster ?
Imaginary or legendary ?

Still the Orange Morning Rise

Dripped in broth, our chicken fingers lie
Our inabilities, our sorrows, our griefs
Cringing in agony, to be in, other ways
Mirror reflection of our masked pain 
In a world of laughter and show off.
Words seem only an inevitable 
Redundancy of a reason 
To hold the ground.

Dripped in broth, our chicken fingers lie
Still the orange morning rise, 
Unashamed, unyielding
everyday.

Premium Member Peace In Pain


God reveals that he has secrets;
And that such secrets are his alone.

His revelations otherwise, belong 
To us and to our children.

The griefs that often sting our hearts
And tares our inward parts apart,
Often hold the secrets that beong to God.

Although from the deep, I might not cease
My search for reasons and understandings,
God gives a peace that gives ease to the pain.

Sea of Love

Oh sea of love!
How bitter the mem'ries I have!
This place reminisce the pain
Of not seeing my love again.

Your birds up high
Remind me of his goodbye.
Your water so deep
Makes me yearn and weep.

So let your breeze blow,
And dry the tears that flow.
Let your waves take away
The griefs and sorrows that stay.

Oh sea of love!
Erase the mem'ries I have!
Wash them out of the blue,
Take them away with you.

Found Joy In Sorrow

When I met you nothing
In my life made sense
I was going through the
Emotions while trying to
Keep my head above water
But you were always
There for me never once 
Did our friendship totter.
We told each other everything
Our worries, our griefs,our pain 
But you never let me walk alone
In that rain
And one day out of the blue 
Sprung out something new a
Love for one another strong and true.
A life long bond no one could ever break.

Premium Member Echoes I Cannot Flee

Written: July 11, 2026, for a contest sponsored by Line Gauthier **************** Grief stays—slow snowfall seals the silent night, Time weeps—deep sleep dims every fading light. Lost love - heart's throb echoes that I can't flee, Sad years—bleak hymns sink in, griefs I foresee. Through fading rain, your voice—a soft refrain, Grief's thief brings back your sweet ache again.
