If you're a Christian on Judgement Day

Premium Member My Tear

My tear is an expression
A deluge of emotion
Flooding out of one’s torment
A need to lament.

Let me go, set me free
For i can no longer bear the torment
Of moments past, such memories
Yearnings of old, too ancient

These cruel sands of time ...
how they try to torment so.
And yet this true love,
It patiently defies them.
Into sweet eternity.

Trapped

I'm Trapped
Unable to escape
The torment
I feel every day
Locked inside a body that I hate
Wanting to rip the flesh
Off my bones

The After Shock

Hold my thoughts, keep them from me
Help me release them,and so I can be free
As I tremble and lament
I can’t handle the sad torment

rapturous notes of your love
in the deep black sea
ripples of torment
blowing mystique evaporate
celestial music float
wind is drunken

Grief

Let sway the hammock's bend; embrace its flight
Avast! My soul, transcend
T'is toil shall pass, woe will end
Amidst the torment, ascend!

great pleasure in self-torment;
the more painful, the better.
Addicted to discomfort,
feeding it with glee!

Hurt

the hurt and the torment,
the words and the lies,
the truth and the honesty?
why oh why.

single looks,
explain you,
single wonders,
hurt me.

Enjoyment

A shooting star
A magical moment
A darkened sky
An ongoing torment
A happy smile
A personal fulfillment
A loving touch
A promise of contentment

Rose thorns 
               in attainment of beauty 
                                              carry the torment

Whispers in a cursing wind
Anger in stormy skies
Rain falling like mournful tears
Fear in the heart
Panic and torment
in the mind.

Taxes... 

     make you feel real blue,

          bother and torment you

               like pebbles in your new

                    leather shoe!

Sharing the Rabbit

We torment our fellow sufferers
To please the sharer of the Rabbit
In the desperate hope
That our masquerading
Will warrant us a piece
Of the craved Meat!

Chapter 4, Verse 1

Holy week,
another chance to torment
those who seek redemption.

Hang your cross of Jesus on the wall
( a double execution)
as if crucifixion was not enough.

The Grinch
has habits that make humans flinch.
One is rubbing himself with onions to create his favorite scent,
knowing but not caring it is public torment.

Torment Unchained

Your torment..
Unchained..
Not mine..
To sustain..

Responding..
In vain..
Only..
Brings pain..

So..
On silent..
Terrain..
I..remain
