Embracing an empath's emotion
Inflicts instant inherit intrustion 
Beckoning beast, begging beneath 
Decaying defenseless delusion....

They're pagans on ice with wood sticks
And maximum pain each inflicts
But Saint Patrick knows
God prefers trios
Like three-leaf shamrocks and hat tricks...

a simple odd sight 
                                                 inflicts inner injury

Good Grief
By: Miracle Man
12-9-2019

Many have uttered these words on some occasion,
“Good Grief," cant that person do anything right?
An idiom that inflicts an unintended abrasion,
Just because It’s clever doesn’t diminish Its bite.

Beware the rose, though beauty be
With spiny thorns, it cuts, you see
As hand surrounds the prickly stem
It inflicts you pain, until you bleed

As too, in life, we dare not take
That which we should never forsake
Don’t overlook what just might be
Else you might find your heart to break...

Embittered winter
indignant
spreads rancor
erudite in malice.

Irreverent arbitrate
derisive
disdains masses
sardonic in verse.

Vengeful slayer
belligerent
inflicts brutality
pitiless in wrath.

Steadfast rime
unyielding
immovable blight
resolute in rage.

Deep in memory 
   lie 
the politics of another era 
The past has a hold on us 
  which cannot be shaken off 
very easily 
The years have confirmed for us 
    that we are in the maelstrom 
The maelstrom, The maelstrom where one experiences 
   the pain 
    which time inflicts on all of us 
That maelstrom where the fate of man is being forged...

The hate that uglifies a sweet face
The betrayal that makes trust fade 
The enmity that isolates 
The sadism that inflicts hate
The envy that breeds futile hostilities
The grudges that darkens memories
The jealousy that erodes satiety
The ill-will rewarded with vanity
The long distances, weights and heights
Don't weigh us down like the burdens of the heart...

He sits up, he begs for you 
   Rolls over, does tricks too
Dare you spurn his advances
   He'll whimper, look askance at you

When he sees you coming down the trail
   He barks excitedly, wags his tail
Extend him your arms
   He jumps up and licks you, inflicts no harm

When your partner just 'can't comprehend'
   ~ Rediscover why a dog's man's best friend...

Some people don't like rain but I do.
I enjoy hearing it hit the roof.
I also enjoy thunderstorms, especially at night.
It gives me pleasure while it gives some people fright.
But I don't like floods, tornadoes or hurricanes.
I don't like weather that inflicts pain.
When it comes thunderstorms, many people are annoyed.
It may be strange because they bring me joy....

Evolvement

When health has waned despite my age
I struggle to experience
The newness that inflicts my soul
And body with an aching pain
I’m in denial of my time
To ask my God what can I do 
to overcome adversity
But now my strength is ebbing low
Evolvement ceased and here I am
Just an old and handsome man

* Two cats, one a kitten, were found dead in a basement carpark in London, with horrific injuries. I won't give the details but all the signs were of extreme abuse....

Don't miss a sliver of a chance,
It may never come around again;
Forever lost to circumstance.
Don't miss a sliver of a chance
When it comes to love or romance,
Lest it inflicts heartache and pain.
Don't miss a sliver of a chance,
It may never come around again.

Ardency is the drive of life,
Beings journey in it vehicle.
For the rumination of thoughts,
The hunger race is infinite.

Ideas conceived are perceived,
Concepts are boundless,
Notions are yet born,
That man's itch is immeasurable.

Insatiablilty pervades the air,
Taste rises,
Hunger inflicts - and,
Cravings to be served is intense.

Man shouldn't be by bread alone.
Today thinks not,
For all seek to yield - to,
Their endless tort yens....

It's seven A.M., the sun is up, the fields are covered in snow.
I'm 57 years old, and sick, and I ought to know...'
What ravages my body so??
Inflicts me witn such pain?
I have pain meds I don't wish to use,
They can lead to harder stuff,
As far as i am  concerned,
Pain is but an awareness tool,
To let us knoe we need help,
And not there just for fun...
And trust me, friend,
Fun I have not...
As I at last prefare for bed.
Ugh....

she pounds on my chest
waves crashing on me
like the rising tide
she won't let me be

she wakes me from slumber
my mind still a mess
with gleaming dew drops
from her long silk dress

I reach out for her
but she's too far away
my heart always aches
my mind goes astray

Only she is able
to quench my thirst
he fingers linger
and so does her curse

Yet a curse so sweet
she inflicts on me
Constantly laughing
flying away free...

see the light your eyes
describe, in every shade
from joy to grey

         ...feel the weight
your mind inflicts
with heartless, selfish
life neglect

now clear a path
with lessons learned

          and 
climb your mountain

.....left undisturbed

to see a world
your heart deserves

and laugh in weightless
gratitude....

 for all God's Gifts

the world to share

Hiding from the world,
In your little corner,
Trying to be strong.
Trying to hide the blood and tears.
I feel your pain.
I feel your agony,
The hatred and hurt.
You are not alone.
It's a scary feeling,
Always hiding,
Always feeling ugly.
I am here,
To share your hurt.
I have cried your tears,
And was never loved.
I know it hurts,
The heart break,
I share the same pain,
I see the weakness that inflicts you,
I feel your pain......

the blood of love leaks out
through this punctured 
saddened wound
bleeding hurt unspoken
cries for help unheard,
no surgeon could ever help
the shocking pain of but a word

how one so casually inflicts
such wounds upon those 
they have once told
of their undying eternal love
held tight those two bodies
as she wanted so to hold

yeah, love can be quite nasty,
so disrespectful of your heart
and torture you forever
until from life, you should depart...

Deeply she cuts
On her sides
Releasing her pain
In red form.
The knife
her release
of pain
too deep
Day by day
no one sees
this pain
she carries
so very deep.
Lovely smile with frowning eyes
of the lies shes told.
At home its hell
Her dad
loves the drink
And doesn’t think
of the pain he inflicts
with each sip he takes
upon his little girl
Her mother gone
And sadly missed.
Alone is she
with nothing but her knife
To release her pain
Deep inside!...

our personal failings are held inside
they show themselves when we call upon
them &
when we least expect them to rear their
ugly head---
lucky are those who have people round them
to distract from the suffering
which the self inflicts upon itself
when undergoing the regret of
personal failings,
but ironic is the fact that 
to suffer is to survive &
to survive is to conquer 
all those things which
would have it be otherwise,
even if one mustered them on their own,
alone....

Seize the day, they said
For tomorrow may never come
“Live each day to the fullest,” I’ve always read
And bear good fruits of many and of some

The clock is ever ticking 
And the hour is of near
For Father Time to impose some picking 
Of those who live in fear

The eve is drawing to a close
And by this, the end of human life
So it is, the distinction both of friend and foe
As the minute hand proceeds in strife

Father Time does not forget
And inflicts great wrath with no regret...
