As water drips through fingers
Numbs me to the bone

Booze—Broads—The Bible,
  which poison will you claim

The one that numbs, the one that thrills
   —the one your soul to shame

His drunken kiss
Lingers on my lips
It burns into my skin
Numbs my insides and
Sends pangs of fear to my toes
Knowing he's in a subdued state
As he kisses every woman in the place...

Mental illness makes my
Mind spin out of control.
Many voices clamor,
Make demands and threaten.
Medication numbs me.
Meandering through a
Maze of thoughts, I am lost.

Scares just like
                  neurosis...
                 numbs like
                  overdose, swell
                  as aponeurosis,
                  It paralyzes even as
                  hypnosis... !...

Sorrow numbs 
The mind like
Paste in cling film
Nothing can
Penetrate
You squeeze it
With your thumb
All over shapeless
Lump
I know how a heavy 
Heart feels _ no
Pep in the step
I can’t imagine you
Anymore !...

Embrace me love, where are you now, 
this silence hurts... 
....dieing. 

Embrace this hate, its never the same, 
my heart it numbs... 
....dieing. 

Take my hand let me show the way, 
see my eyes... 
....dieing....

From the curly black hair of your crown
To the tender sole of your feet
A stare I can't capture
A touch I can't grasp
a kiss I can't ignore
a feeling that numbs my heart
a ritual God has given to me 
A Love Without Sin...

the burdens I carry are heavy 
and weigh me down so much
Pain in everything
I see and touch
violence, turbulence
cold as ice
numbs me to my core
anger overwhelms me
to the point of no return
the life I live I want no more...

Not that my heart ever stops breaking, but
the pain eases as the mind numbs
 the cracks become glazed over by the routine of daily life
I stand knowing they will always come open at some point
I have to let the flood of what comes take me again...

I can feel you 
Jumping into my stomach
Feeling my with each motion
Your skin numbs me with its intensity
Your mouth intoxicates me with your soul
Caressing
Exploring
Joining into the moment as one
The world becomes silent
As my mind echoes with your passion...

Shattered shell the pieces settle, succumbing to time
A spell so subtle.
A fog of complacency numbs the scrapes
As tendrils of memories seep deep-
Tunneling down twisting hard narrow vessels
Until the sickness settles.
This heart will stop-
When healing neglects....

I have no one
I have nothing 
I’m hollow 
Have you a feeling I can borrow
I’m pained
It numbs
I’m stuck undone 
Have you a dream I can borrow 
I’m lonely 
I’m antisocial 
I’m sorrow
Is there a soul I can borrow

I want to start my life again
I want to start my life again...

chatter
continuous
banter which numbs the brain
chafing background noise that belies
patience and composure squandered away
meaningless, dreary remarks told
about nothing central
drifting weary
chatter

The sea is melting
The water level rises
To the eyes as tears

Even in earthquake
There is no wave in that lake
Grief numbs a man's heart

Birds taste their voices
The air clamours with fresh songs
He knows it is spring

The sun melts the mount
The river strangles silence
A vision of peace...

The need to be cosseted from reality 
numbs our minds 
creating a majority 
of underdeveloped scared 
squares. 
boastful, ignorant belittlers 
blur the lines between reality 
and plastic utopia 
hiding the complexities of the world 
with coffees and cream and music and bullshit...
where did it all go wrong?...

Somber readjustment's curve
lost sympathy, numbs the soul to serve,
that loitering giant, ridicule, its' verve
so filed away ~ injustice also swerve!

This parent of denounce,
who chanced God's word
still held onto a promise, her conserve
The Mother, soul's inclement meaning's nerve!

While modern image focused . . . . extraverts!...

Who has seen the wind?
Well, blow me down.
Blow me right down.
I mean it is cold, really cold
Then there’s the wind.
The damned cold wind.
Wind chill, wind chill
Damn it. 
It scrapes your cheeks.
Ices your ears.
Numbs your fingers
Chills your legs. 
Freezes your feet. 
I have seen the wind and the answer is:
Central heating....

A cold world 
Ice covering your soul,
Loneliness…
A frigid wind chills your bones
As your heart slows 
Your blood freezes inside your veins
Your skin numbs
You become unreachable
Lost in your own nothingness!
Your mind blanks 
As darkness surrounds you! 
A cold hand on your neck
Exhausting the warmth of life…

Death consumes you!...

Hiding in the shadows,
waiting to be found.
This silent darkness
numbs the fear.
I thought it was real,
but maybe it's not.
Why am I doomed to suffer?
Another sigh,
another heart in the breaking.
Some days I know who I am,
others I'm so lost.
I wish I could escape
from who I call myself,
but instead
I drown the misery
into words....

It numbs my hands
It frosts my soul 
Plays with my head
This wicked cold
I'm petrified, angry
Frozen, can't think
Thoughts spin in circles
A mental ice rink
I want you to warm me
To melt in my skin
Climb over my glaciers 
Heat me with sin
Please hurry come burn me
A storm's to unfold
Flame me, save me
From this cruel wicked cold....
