Used


You can’t recall the stone,
Once it’s thrown
Emitted harsh words, can’t be defused
And Time spent, can not be reused.

On our lawn I stand
Admiring three Islands
Perennials returned
Your harsh words they've outgrown
How would YOUR garden grow?

Our faces blank 
no love shown for each other 
my heart is now stone 

Your harsh words no more 
I'm free to go beyond 
the title of "us"

Separation of Two Hearts

Harsh words
A bated breath
A pregnant silence was how we left
Scorned feelings
Once love; amiss
You couldn’t keep me 
Not even with a kiss

Premium Member Open Your New Heart

Open your new toy,
little girl, little boy.
Your new heart will pump - 
it's job to go thump.
If harsh words are spoken,
your heart will be broken.

Alone

Golden cup thrown at the door
Silver vase thrown to the floor
Harsh words 
are always heard
Tears are wept
Nights unslept
Nights are cold
No one to hold.

Silence

SILENCE is the best punishment,
          which we can give for others.
SILENCE kills a person more than a harsh words.
          so be PATIENCE. WIN THE WORLD.

The Storm

Yesterday 
And all the harsh words 
That passed between us
Are soon forgotten,
In the hail of this storm.

Premium Member Collateral Damage

A babbling tongue,
Is like a weapon of mass destruction;
It indiscriminately destroys,
And disables, with harsh words,
Those targets, who to it,
Are of no consequence.

This Life I Have Been Through

If you can't love
Just leave quitely
Don't say harsh words
You just invite agony
You will never know
How much I have been 
Or how much struggle
And the pain I endure
I have in this cruel life.

A prattling tongue,
Is like a heat seeking missile,
Or ordnance of mass destruction,

It indiscriminately destroys,
And disables, with harsh words,

Those targets, who to it,
Are of no consequence;

Here not there
You know where


In a fix
A blunt mix


Cuts flame slash
Harsh words smash


Bits of flesh
Ooze like trash


Blood red pain
Life now drains

Jealousy (Septet)

The green eyed
Monster controls us
We do not see or know it
It is there, stealing our rationale
Providing us with harsh words
Making us see things
We shouldn’t

Premium Member needless tension

someone attempts to cheat us
which we disallow 
tension heightens, tempers flare
harsh words are exchanged

hmmm

what could or should we have done
to offer a face saving route
to the wayward soul

we so reflect …

Words Like Daggers

You cut me 
with your words.
Like daggers.
Pulling me down 
With your harsh words.
Not liking who i became..
And wanting to Tear me down 
Till there's nothing left.
So you can laugh 
About how better 
You are then me.

Discarded With

As upswept, a dune
And o'er deserts on
This deedness of feeling left you with in
Heart's own barren place?

"Harsh words, and burning
Of a cruel, fierce man
Yes; as such tumbleweed left me, therein.
Rootless. Blown apace."

Premium Member Partly Cloudy

My dreams are partly cloudy
Intermingled with a passing breeze
Cold shadows dancing in past passions
Harsh words unsoftened by time
Echo in a dusty chapel
A gentle touch soothes the darkness
A kiss left on a pillow years ago

Run Away

What possesses you to wonder,
into the unknown alone.
Was it harsh words.
Or something far worse.
Was it for love,
or the lack of.
Was the problems real,
or all in your head.
Now you tell yourself am I,
better off here or there.

Premium Member Anger

Anger

Auras of crimson red,
assault my sight, my mind,
affecting perspective.
Arrogant arguments,
assure harsh words spoken,
as reason takes its leave.
Aftermath is regret.

The Lesser Instinct

Winds sing harshly, 
And nature gone extinct. 
The earth has softened, 
Though the sky is in a rage. 
A silent echo is monstrous, 
And life cringes for change. 
Harsh words release a beloved temper, 
While the knock sings to the lesser instinct.

Premium Member Mushroom Tipping Point

So nervously, upon this earth I tread.
Don't let me, again, go out of my head.
My fragile mind persisted yet unbroken,
ignoring all harsh words as they were spoken,
until shattered with a sickening shriek.
Done in, I was, as I heard a mushroom speak.
