Short Harrowing Poems

The conjecture of cause
The evolution of effect
Harrowing my hypothesis
Like a wasp without a nest...

The harrowing woe
Reigns upon me—
Why must it be so? 

And my trembling heart
Burns intensely—
How does it still grow?...

Sighs and tears escaped
From an enamored couple
When both realized
Love had withered forever 
Lacking of fertilizers

From the dark depth of the ocean
and the harrowing pit of the abyss
to the blazing nadir of hell,
Nothing is deeper than 
the deadening pain of a broken heart....

Harrowing Experience Was To Me

Had thought for a while;
Harrowing experience,
Really was to me.

About politics;
All of the idiots there;
None a friend of mine.

They built an abattoir for man                      
In the heart of the land                          
Where rythm of catridges played ballad      
To hapless P.O.W. of the ballot....

Hazel mirrors glisten

In pages of tribulation

Taciturn apparitions moan

Designing rueful brands of sin

Upon the shaken sands she weaves

As she is forsaken

To drink of harrowing memories...

The war-dogs chew at the throat of Man,
Killing as canines can,
With drooling jowls and fetor that fouls
The air, with harrowing warrior-howls--
They herald the End with their yelps and yowls....

Remembrances that are unique
Each one crafts a life-harrowing story.
Maintain a firm grip on them.
Sustain them in your spirit forever.
Retrace your steps every so often....

Angels bright call dangerously,
Eventually fulfilling grave harrowing ideas.
Jarring kindness lies masking now,
Otherworldly persons quietly respond.
Silent turmoil underneath volatile waters,
Xes your zest....

A sharp, harrowing burden
Fashions mirrors of fear
Virgin pages designed 
From white nothingness 
Tattooed by black teeth
Eyes everywhere
Bold, brave, and daring 
To decode the freakish nature
Ascending from duplicity...

Red tears,
And black filled fears,
Of all the harrowing years,
I held in my diseased heart.

Does my excruciating soul even know?
How deep my self pity flows?
How much my torture grows?
When will my yellow really start?...

Particular Reason

Reason for doing did not find particular
Car rolled over and accident was vehicular
After begging nd also borrowing
Had experience which was harrowing
Believe in God and cease to be secular.

From the dark depth of the ocean
To the harrowing pit of the abyss
Or the fiery scorching nadir of hell,
Nothing is deeper than 
the numbing pain of a broken heart.

Fringed by putrescent dusk
Fingernails dig beneath graveyard wounds
Fostered by lexical warfare
Within the harrowing fiascos of tomorrow
Nothing but bated memories
Braided by skin, coffee, and cigarettes
Branded by concrete whispers...

HOLOCAUST
    

           Cruel catastrophe
           Violent virulent vice
           Barbaric brutality.
           Hateful holocaust!
          Harrowing, horrifying hit.
          Civilization condemned.

My well-seasoned heart seeks love’s light
Years of heartbreak, thwarted romance
Harrowing each eternal night
A wall flower in life’s last dance

Life is like
a blank page 
roughly wrinkled 
in withering white.
Begrudgingly 
bearing it’s 
abandoned
brand of 
belittlement .
Which only can
be broken 
by the olden
unspoken truths 
lying in between 
the written words 
of humanity’s 
harrowing hand ....

A long winding road-life,
Harrowing filled with strife,
At times rocky hard to follow,
Other times strait and narrow,
Where will it take us, to what end?
Dont know, cant begin to pretend,
But- while you are by my side,
Roller coaster of life take us for a ride....

Here, there is a surfeit of spam,
Fed to us by government man,
Democracy's harrowing tale,
Setting us up to fail,
Pollies' synchronised team,
Is all this what it seems?
Total cant and hypocrisy,
A merit myth of futility,
Spam surfeit, no caring beyond duty.........

Invader of flesh, bone, and blood
                  Rudely invites itself in
To wreak harrowing havoc.
                  No ringing of doorbell;
Not so much as a knock -
                 Cancer

A passionate embrace of last reserve
Steel tracks taking their twisted curves
Harrowing frights dark of hue
Speed demons singing the blues
Over and over they are off the rail
Careen the cliff and off she sails
Top notch is their deadly reserve
Drops of pain the only preserves
Let the games begin...

from my heart

The indelible ink

are the stains of harrowing loss,
Yet, as they  s  p  i  l  l  from my steely quill,
they trace my e~t~h~e~r~e~a~l wings - I fly.

My nerves are like a typewriter
pressed on bones of keys 
wrecking deadline hours after beats
of caffeine throb on soiled manuscripts.

Boss says, " keep the news more harrowing
than the murder." I steam the facts,
boil it into water,and grate lines
but only perspiration flows; the scene too common.
