Premium Member Light Goes Out

Darkness
envelopes soul
rising screeching thoughts instilled
missed unseen jagged light escapes
heaviness weighs my heart

On the chunk of stone, ocean's extreme heaviness, amongst my weeping.

Premium Member Bugs Below

What could be said
of the bugs below?
Can they feel this
weight from above?
Around they clamor
in a life of dirt.
Unaffected by that
heaviness of love.

To Be This Human

To be this human

made from stardust

coughed into life

carved hollow to hold the heaviness of being.

To be this 

dot

among dots

comes with questions.

Premium Member Emotional Baggage

Heaviness felt over the shoulders
As a sac of bricks that drags you
To the deepness of a calm lake
Drowning to undiscovered emotions

I Have Become Ash

I have become ash
Decayed for decades
What happened?
To my lithe thoughts
And deft digits

That could churn
Heaviness into brevity
And paltry pursuits
Into wee nuances

Premium Member November Rain

it rained and night had turned

it seemed we couldn't escape
its cloak of heaviness

but little did it matter
beneath your umbrella
with you holding me close

Modern House

Our house craves bold colors and crisp, clean lines 
No heaviness of wood, antique white or brocade
Just chrome, seamless showers and open space 
Inviting air and light so we may shunt the grave

Grey Clouds Call Me

Keep your marshmallow bulges
those wisps of forgotten sheers
distorted aerials of gossamer
but those grey pinks
laden with promises
of the foreboding
speak with a ethereal heaviness
i am here

Weeping Imperfections

Form

Mass

Drooping

Heaviness

Weeping bodies age

Stretched elongated wrinkled form

Distorted hound dog faces as Youth's beauty fades

Eventually we return to the ground as water evaporates to dust
Form: Fibonacci

Sudden Release

the heaviness of 
        muscle constriction heaves easy
simple touch caresses

a pillar of strength
	apexes amongst the clouds 
a breath of fresh air

Pages Full of Love

eyes smarting with tiredness,
not registering on the words I see,
heart aching with heaviness,
looking at the last letter you wrote to me,
pages full of the love, that wasn't to be.

Penned 26/7/2017

:cold Rain:

The clouds overhead smother me. 
Their heaviness, mirroring my thoughts,
And the grayness of their pain
Rains down cold memories,
Onto my soul like acid rain,
Eating away at my chance to
For once,
Be happy.
Form:

Fade

The heaviness of heart lifts.
I want it gone, but I hold it tighter still.
Crashing through me, knocking me down, picking me up. 
It needs to go, it has to.
Lost to love, feeling our hearts fade.
You are gone.

Monster

Tell me what you're afraid to lose
  tell me what you're afraid to keep
    all that keeps you awake at night
      and steals you from your sleep

The heaviness inside doesn't know what it wants
so it cries, cries, cries.

Lightening the Soul

lightening the soul 
taking away
the heaviness
of the weight 
that has
been placed 
upon the 
heart  
to teach you 
if only you
would only 
let me help you
all that is desired
here is your 
elevated state of
happiness

Premium Member C and V Gone Forever

C and V are gone forever
Punched too hard
Copy and Paste

Space bar holding court
Wanting a rally to protest 
The heaviness of my fingers.

I slap them happily
Typing 85 words a minute
Unconcerned about their silly protest.

Sweatiness the End

Wetness,the dress in what we born,

Sweatiness in stress,fitness or torn,

In wetness and sweatiness,

In proudness or shameless,

In heaviness or lightness while we grow,

But the sweatiness,is the business at the end all go!

Gloom

Olden wordsmiths surely got it right,
one syllable to express the pain,
foggy heaviness clenching lungs,
razor-sharp edge gutting cleanly,
spear point piercing leaden heart,
weary shoulders, arms drooping
and all because of sudden rejection.

Weight

Weight 


It’s even lesser than
The light in weight,
But greater than the cosmos,
With its heaviness,
And only that little heart 
Could hold it,
If it’s clear from envy
And full of love.

Premium Member Note Quite Autumn

It hasn't bitten yet
Sense lingers still of green and blue
But memories come shivering
My skin still damp    though    chilling through

Something in the air
Spells of heaviness    gently falling
Strange music of despair
Through Nature's voice is calling

Tactile

TACTILE
By Frank Daub

Tactilis – the Ancients said.
“Capable of being touched” –
There is a heaviness in this word,
That awakens the soul – too much.

Of lost proximity, hand
Touching – hand?
Or
Love
reaching the empty space
	Of an unresponsive land.

Saturday Emptiness

SATURDAY EMPTINESS


When are you coming back?
I have this Saturday emptiness
Supporting my heaviness
Amidst the closing night.
At least I am able to entertain my loneliness,
With galaxy of dreams.
I miss your love now,
So come to me and we’ll drink
That unassuming love with joy.

Debt

When it comes to your happiness,
Debt is a terrible thing.
To owe and not be capable of paying
Creates a terrible heaviness in the heart.

It is wonderful to have the things you want,
But not at the expense of contracting 
Excessive fear.
Being in debt is worse than artichokes o pizza.

Premium Member A Bed Is a Fallen Tree

This bed’s supporting limbs
			do not sleep like the log
			they were cut from.
			Dreaming of that splintering
			they mourn when I move,
			remembering leaves 
			and caressing breeze.
			Now down for the count
			and holding a heaviness
			of flesh and bone,
			they can only moan.
