The Loves of my life

Three ladies have blessed my life 
My Mum my Nan and my wife 
Now in heaven above 
I treasure their love 
Such loss stabs my heart like a knife.

Too early for the skies to clear
Yet cracks and stabs lace the cover.
The cracks
   they widen'till the blue emerged,
The rays from spots brightened.

Premium Member Tattoo Man-Odd Facts 002

A lot ado
over head to toe tattoo.
The Great Omi
Sensitive as a zombie
endured 15 million needle stabs
to get his fill of verbal jabs.

cannibalistic
   a robber fly stabs its prey...

Premium Member Face Value

The black clouds roll in
yet the sun shines in your heart
that's what love can do
the illusion of the eye
the dagger that stabs the soul.

Cancer

A true psychopath,
Cancer thrives on victims’ fears,
Remorseless, it kills
Old men, women and children
And stabs young men in the back.

Fighters

the fighters emerge
one has a trident and net
the other a sword and shield
looking for chances
they circle one another
the net man traps and stabs – death

Poem

rest in peace?


they ordered him to kill 
several men
- and gave him several medals
when he decided
love another man
- gave him several stabs





from Baba de Moço, second edition, 2012.

Punditry

Bound within hero norms
pilfered from the pulpit,
games twist tailored tempests
crafting men as monsters

with derision conquered
by illumined command:
complicity in stabs
while changing the channel.

Poverty

(07/07/2011)

How can this poverty stabs my family?
Fate and destiny,
Do they exist to mess my life only?
Such a huge responsibility here I carry
As you all may see
I just want to break free, then freed

Love’s End


It’s tragic

stabs the heart deeply—

spirit lost

passion gone

without any true purpose

heartbreak unending

Two Faced

It smiles to you
Speaks kind words
Encourages you
It's your friend

Then it turns its head
Stabs your back and suffocates your front
It destroys your name
and dares to claim - 
A different side
A different face

A Dagger's Blade


Your laughter haunts my lonely nights,  
Memories echo in empty halls,  
Each whisper stabs my aching heart,  
Once we soared, now shadows fall,  
A friendship lost, a love undone,  
In silence, tears become my song.

Silence Speaks

Silence speaks
A thousand words
It says there’s nothing there
It’s telling me to give up
I want to believe
There’s more to this
But as the stillness 
Stabs my ears
And I bleed with sorrow
I know I must conform
With the calm

Premium Member Sadness

Sad but true
I miss you
Abruptly
Most surely

Why did you go?
My heart hurts
Arterial stabs
Pain redecorated

Darkness floods
Wet eyes weary
Painful melancholia
Grief prolongs

Untitled

In a motion of silence,
I stand still.
A new polution of violence,
Pierce through my ears.
This sickness inside of us,
it stabs our fears.
Than abruptly the silence is broken
from the screams of people dying,
And noone is listening......

Premium Member Pain

Pain wears a face
In awkward trace


Pain hijacks feel
As hurts now grill


Pain comes to show
In teary flow


Pain stabs and cuts
Beyond mere gut


Pain follows pain
To hurt again

So I Run

run away
far from you so 
your hate dosent burn me anymore
hate marks
on my back 
stabs
through to my heart
so deep i cant stand
so i run
yet you pull me back
so i run 
but you smother me
so i run
and you kill me
so i run
into your mind
Away

Hell Today

In my head
I make my life
Hell
the silent stabs of doubt
pierce my soul
the cold lonely thoughts embark
heavy on my shoulders
head down shoulders shrugged
heavy heart
my hell my cell my life
I create in my head
no one allowed in
to witness 
my hell

Premium Member Scars

Scars
and Sun,
with their mark
a gruesome glow. 
You can taste that edge,
as the knife stabs your throat.
Cut pumpkins swallow the Sun,
now this final curtain is warmed.
Ostentatious heat clings, darkness waits
for that first bittersweet taste of autumn.

Premium Member A Sacred Elf

  Intense, the sun’s rays
    light-headed, dizzy, her reaction
  A chill wind from nowhere
    stabs her, springing into action
  
  Is this the end, she wonders 
    gathering herself
  Throws herself shamelessly at the world
    uncovering ~ a sacred elf

A Deep-Ression

(A World of Monsters & Men)

A deep-ression 
Holds me captive 
Stabs & punches me
Just to see me bleed
No place to run & hide
It consumes me
Breaks me - leaves me wreck
Void - voids- voided, simply null
I’m just a touch without meaning
A time without season.

3 Haikus

lightning stabs the sky
wind howls and whips dead branches
trees mute storm watchers.

waves crash against shore
thunder threatening darkness
whiplash from sky gods.

breakers slap wet sands
sounding monstrous applause of
nature's savagery.

Premium Member Taking Him Apart Bit By Bit

Her blade was her tongue, sharper than any axe or hatchet
Her husband was the butchering block with slices stabs and punctures
Others saw it. He complained sometimes, but she had no ears.
Only a tongue that sliced and diced, 
taking him apart gradually one little chip and chunk at a time.
