With a rhythmic spell,
Quasimodo sounds his bell
In his tortured hell,
Esmeralda hears him yell
From his hunchback prison cell.

Moments of Relief

Us tortured souls. 

Do not deserve to be tortured more. 

In our short moments of bliss. 

Which are respite. 

And not sin.

The Dark Lampshade

The dimness of the light
Gave the room a spookiness
Dimmed by a lampshade
Made of tortured skin
Tattooed numbers tell the untold story


Jack 35

I neither want nor enjoy the role
Of being a tortured soul

Not sure if I’m doing right or wrong
With no real clue what's going on

I have a yearning
To break out of confinement
The tortured inside
The painful layers of fiery hate
Breakout of prison, be freed

Haiku

Tortured, the mute cries......
                      dead Elephant, tuskers removed.....
                      the agony of cut Trees .......

Premium Member Torn

Faith has all but
Left this heart
This ravished soul
That's been torn apart 
A tortured mind 
That's all but lost
How to deal 
With heavy cost

Complacent, Nowhere To Go

Walks on the line of ineptness 
Treacherous and unstable footing
Pain is the fuel for complacency 
Tortured, but unbreakable
The location of no escape

Premium Member Intense Fester

Dark and sour feeling Festers inside me, intense Scraping parts of me That are irreparable Hurting my tortured old soul

Don'T Let It Slip Away

Stripped, abused and tortured.
Help me, my life's but one -
Don't let it slip away!

Icy Ground

In the loudest moments of silence,
I can hear the screams of my tortured soul.
As I traverse my destiny;
with the ease of a pallbearer,
walking on icy ground.

Premium Member The Last Ride

The Last Ride

There once was a girl named sally
Tortured by a backside tally
She dreamed of a trike
Instead of this bike
As she stared at this death valley

Premium Member Pronunciamento

pronunciamento

poetry ever born free.
even written in ice
on prison walls,
tortured to silence. 
feared by those dead 
who would
chain our souls.
it is still free.

We Are Shadows

we are but shadows

of who we are

shadows tortured by hot sun of capitalism

where is cool water of democratic socialism

cool river

waterfall

to free my soul.

Premium Member Shoreline

Eyes staring at the fading sun
as my lover sailed away
tears became the shoreline
she hated my tortured mind
I hated the river
of depression

The river waved good bye

Who the Hell

Who in hell is Victoria Smith?
A depressed young teen tortured 
Praying for death,
A man craving to be 
Victim, hapless and abused 
A sad poet masochist ?
Is she weird or what?

Premium Member Tortured Man

I'm a tortured man. I'm a tortured man.
I can't believe I am who I am.
My life's a mess.
I'm bored with sex.
I'm a scrawny little guy with a big Adam's apple neck.
I'm a tortured man.

Walking Dead

Debilitating Despair-
Tortured Tirelessly-
Rotten Rebellion-
Perilous Pain-
Skipping Survival-
Needless Nothings-
Eyes fixed in a Black Haze-
Used Goods-
Hidden Hope-

Distress

Troubles truly come to anyone 
when he is in stormy weather. 
He's really in stressful form 
because of depression. 
His mind is tortured 
by anxiousness 
and worries 
about 
life.

Maybe

Haunted I stand
Undaunted by my future
Tortured by my past
I don't think it will last

So I'll expel all my sorrow,
I'll keep moving towards tomorrow.
The future I hope I see
In you.

Demons Within

the demons within destroy without
we look, consumed by flame
cackling at the peoples tortured shout
laying on them all the blame

lost inside a hellish prison
anger flares, consuming all

The Drop (2009)

Cascading rocks, orchestrating
The banging, booming beats
Of my broken heart
Violins become tortured echoes
Through gaps between sleep
As darkness falls
It all falls
Comes down upon me.
