Brown-suited Indian

My

Pillowed refuge

To the

And the

Mynah Bird claws

Of

Earthbound peoples

An Unforgiving Heart

Let not this darkness behind you
Your present joy o'ershadow.
Fair Earth, in its morn's glow, shedding
Its own haunted state's fogged clue.

Premium Member Think twice

Time can be most unforgiving.
Once wasted you can't get it back.
Living with regrets is wretched.

The Beginning

The World we know is ending.
There is nothing we can do.
There was once but not anymore.
The problem is unforgiving.

A poem on the world by JCS/Melancolia

Revenge To Peace

Revenge
Vengeful, unforgiving,
Repaying, fighting, settling, malevolence, ruthlessness, harmony, truce
Loving, nurturing, forgiving
Composed, bloodless,
Peace

Nesting Box

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

Toiling, foraging
Worms, insects make a nice meal
Insatiable mouths

Dream

Dream your dreams come what may. 
Never let doubts cloud your way. 
Our subconscious mind, 
lingers in between. 
Life's unforgiving reality, 
and what can't be seen.

Earthquake

Forceful, unforgiving claws, deep in the earth they dig
Upwards, upwards, breaking more than simply twigs
Cracking crevices, zags, zigs
A roar, a shake, a crick, crig

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

Premium Member Frozen in Fear

Twas exhausted night before Thanksgiving, 
after few eggnog Whiskeys, relieving. 
Awful chilling and spooky, 
Boo-hoo, the turkey soupy, 
Homegrown, fear fill eyes were unforgiving.

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

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

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

Time

Time is such an unforgiving *****
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

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

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

Briefly,
a passing shower
quenched an arid field.

Slowly,
an unforgiving sun
parched it anew.

Premium Member Quick Question

How can you say 
every life should be saved
when you have no concern for the living, 
for the hungry and poor 
you have saved that life for 
yet find yourself so unforgiving?
