Unbearably I gaze
through the endless smog,
and attempt
to blow clouds
away.

Though 
a pollution I have let it
become,
It seeps
             inside.

Around, it is dark
because inside
so am I....

birds tweeting,
wind whistling,
mud trekking,

I've forgotten what,
it means to be free,

one lane roads,
windows rolled down,
music unbearably loud,

I've forgotten how,
i missed this....

One thing when you get this old ~
is that your body can get so unbearably cold,
because your skin gets so thin,
it lets all the iciness in,
and then a hot partner is worth their weight in gold....

From the brightest flash of exultation, to self strewn webs of sorrow
A passion of sparkling content, a heart unbearably hollow 
Relive every sensation, ponder every sentiment 
One pencil and a notebook can create a monument....

The echoes
of children's giggles
and laughter in the night
have long died down;

the house
has become unbearably hollow,
as though the very life of it
has just been sucked out;

once again,
it has become a cage 
seeking a bird that hasn't lost
its throaty song....

beneath the leaves and under stone
lies a beating heart of someone alone
i hear the grave is unbearably cold
when you die alone when you are old
it is true you cannot go back
home again when the sky is black
but more than this and this is true
is that no one can ever know except for you...

I always say
"Don't let your heart droop 
whenever you face a long trip 
to a heart to be loved, 
in the end you may even have lost your life 
yet with a happy end 
by imagining 
that heart would love you someday 
Nevertheless, having died for your love 
seems more logical than to bray...

On unbearably pleasant days
she beckons the ferryman
to taxi her to the
dark places of her past
to stock up on bitterness,
envy, rancor
a delusional cocktail for the
attention-starved addict
with the trademark, fatalistic,
false sense of power.
Self-respect makes a break for it
while she coddles demons in her sleep....

The wind rises up just enough to cool me and get a bit of attention.

It has been unbearably hot, we are on a school bus, waiting for the rest of the staff.

I look out the window and see the leaves of the lone tree moving, and shaking.

Grateful, I smile, loving, adoring, and appreciating the bit of God’s wind, on this bus....

I repeat that my private life
Is not your wedded wife
And that you’re unbearably curious …

Now I do foresee a strife,
Which might fully involve a knife,
With me as The Fully Furious …

And, sure, you can guess The Next Thing:     
‘The Completely Fatally Injurious, 
For I shall that knife powerfully swing,
Even with the reasons for it spurious....

Unbearably, oh! So terribly-
Have I ruined my only chance?
But sing with me sad melodies;
Let us ponder while we dance
And find our reasons, somewhere cold-
Buried in all we fail to find
Lo, thy Heart; to have- to hold!
Never could I be that kind

To be so gentle, as not to break
For all my Love, a Monster makes!

*This is an old, slightly silly piece, and a weak one at that...

.

The echoes of children's 
    giggles and chuckles 
        have faded away down 
            the long tunnel of time.


Quiet, the old house 
    is now unbearably hollow, 
        as though the very life of it 
           has just been sucked out.


The living room is now
    an empty nest longing
        for birds that haven't 
            lost their throaty songs.

If we were the shoes of a man in a blind rage
walking along the sidewalk 
and kicking hard a small piece of stone  
we'd leave his feet right away
thinking his heart is like a sort of dry dock,
saying "You're unbearably cruel" in a high tone
Why?
He may have felt 
a sharp stab of disappointment
and been angry at himself
or somebody else
if so,
all what he does to us 
and a small piece of stone 
shows his true self...

Alas, here comes the days,
When the summer brings a haze,
The days I come to dread,
When I cannot go to bed.
All is from its heat,
That I know not how to beat.

I long for winter's chill,
Though I do not know it still.
That summer's here to stay,
And oh god, unbearably I pray,
That the wrath of winter's frost,
Bring summer's demise and loss.

And that things become ice again,
'Cause then, my skin will finally mend....

Lust for Cherry B

Forbidden love there lies the key,
Forbidden fruit is fantasy,
you cannot have what isn’t free,
you pay the price intensively,
thrashing pashing franticly,
lust,

wanton lust seeks verily,
to cleave the path so merrily,
the eyes do lock with Cherry B,
with passion comes the thrust,
getting milking is a must, {dairy}
cos its unbearably….
Disgorging custard just….
Internally….

As Yet Unblemished By Pure Beauty

That time has come in nature’s year;
That best time of all, the barren time;
That time of nothing yet but promise;
That time of the pure hope:

Late February,
unblemished by Spring’s harsh actualization,
her first hints in this time of new light,
Skunk Cabbage stirring in frozen swamps
and Redwings in marshes,

her Promise soon  to be kept in perfect beauty
unbearably aching with the certainty of loss....

A head goes for a laborer’s pad,
After losses to friends at card;
Whatever reaches him he’ll guard,  
As life remains unbearably hard.

A head goes ahead to fix a pad
For fifty bags of cement Andrew had;
For making A Final Good out of The Bad
And seeing to still feeding his lad;
If, in the end, very little shall go mad
After first becoming inconsolably  sad …

But, henceforth, no careless imitation of bard
While with Careful Gamblers at card....

I can’t control myself, I’m remote
within radio range and scope
but far so small and mote
receiving signals through smoke 
directed through ash to choke
seems circular nothing to note
unbearably tied like a rope 
no baring clear to approach 
unaware I’m walking to croak 
in smoke near clifftops and slopes
mind numb uncared and broke
a snowball no brake to poke
an inclined decline no joke
with my lifeline tied I’m roped 
and until it ends I’m fooked...

Truthfully,
I struggle to be free.
Unbearably,
Some strive to see a sinking sea.

Anger wraps around my shoulder.
I pray; I don’t get bolder.
The world, estranged, keeps getting colder.
It’s been forever; I’m still a sailor.

Curiously,
I’ve been chained in eternity.
Amazingly,
They die in an ocean of uncertainty.

Sails descend upon my shoulder.
I pray I won’t get bolder.
The world, afflicted, stares in wonder.
It’ll be forever; I’ll be a sailor....

He is my soul survivor.
He is my blood.
 
 The singer deep inside my veins.
The breath inside my lungs.

 How can someone like him love me? 
How could he ever care?
 
Thoughts of him kills me everyday.                  
Dreams of him brings me pain.

 Nights without him are unbearably long.
Sleep never comes.

 Days don't even matter at all.

 Where would I be without him?
Can you tell me?

 No, you can't. 
But I know where I'll be
Forever in his arms....

Repared fiction. 
Revised and re-used. 
This sheild is becoming weak. 
Thinned out by you. 
Silver swords thrown at this flesh wall. 
Cuts too deep to save me from this fall. 
And when i bleed out the entire world will know, 
They will read my skin about all the lies you told. 
These words are too sharp to hide. 
All of this is too much to keep inside. 
I'm not as strong as they all thought i was. 
Because you keep unbearably hurting me worse than everyone else does....

It started off as fun, and 
games... Who knew fun could 
turn into terrifying in a matter 
of 
seconds  ?

I scream until my lungs are 
raw, and unbearably painful .

STOP ! Over, and over until I'm 
tired of hearing the sound of 
my own voice .

The world spins faster, and 
faster as the ride continues... I 
wan't off . I want it to be over . 
I'm dizzy , and weak .

My legs tremble with fear , my 
heart beats with adrenaline .

Just stop the ride . Stop the 
ride ....
