Hurt
Passion overthrows -
Virtues unforgiving ache
Cries ‘til love returns.

Chaotic yearning echos 'round
Breathing seething sour fume
Hollow icebox makeshift tomb...

To the

And the

Mynah Bird claws

Of

Earthbound peoples...

Nesting Box
Bluebird nesting box,
built with love. Toils to survive
cold spring nights, unforgiving.

Worms, insects make a nice meal
Insatiable mouths...

Where the Grickle Grass Grows
Troubled friend, your heart
    displayed
unforgiving blade before me
    splayed
your blood
    it pools in love
    betrayed
forever young
    your debts prepaid

The Deep End of Celebrity
The waters cold and unforgiving here
I breathe nothing but a deluge of fear
	'Tis a shame to blame
	The end of my rising fame
On tracked veins drowning my career

Assessment
I’m not connected
Neither am I happy
And so
Words are like forgotten junk
Like happy
Like connected
Like ice scuffed
Unforgiving cold beneath
Heavens above

Breathing

Premium Member Her Howl Filled the Air
Ice and snow are everywhere
Ground is hard and unforgiving
It is January, animals hibernate

Bear is asleep
Wolf wishes she could be
She watches her howl fill the air like cold smoke...

Time
Time is such an unforgiving bitch
She is always unraveling you
Stitch by stitch.
She is constantly riding you
Taunting you along the way
She is testing your faith
And refusing to stay....

woe daylight
emptied out
into nights glare 
canvasing mirth
beneath a wondering 
phlight amid thought 
that weathered thee
unforgiving soundless
panting we'd opened 
an empty potrait...

Then and Now
THEN AND NOW

JOHN M. ARRIBAS




When I Was Young, There Was No Denying
My Biggest Fear Then, a Fear of Dying
Each Movement Now Is Unforgiving
My Biggest Fear Now Is Endless Living...

Self Hate
i tell myself i love me
and then i break my heart
i ask for forgiveness
and it restarts

i tell myself i love me
and i treat myself well
until i make one mistake
then i treat me like hell...

Premium Member Sunshine and Showers
Briefly,
a passing shower
quenched an arid field.

Slowly,
an unforgiving sun
parched it anew.

Darkness
The midnight sky

Twinkles as I walk beneath

Alone on a path

To carry me into the unforgiving

Each star a thought 

A memory

One by one they fall

Until you walk in pure darkness...
