Funny how she calls me big
she stabs me with that word
and yet after she says it
i’ve never felt so small...

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....

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.

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

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...

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...

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...
