Onslaught

drip, drop, trickling
rising, overflowing now...
emotional dam

wreaks havoc, torn, tossed
destroying walls, drowning wells...
no signs of stopping

gushing, roaring, lost
freedom to flow everywhere...
seeps to silent sea

Battling Mind

 
A whirlwind of emotions A cyclone of wandering thoughts A tempest of trepidation That leaves me baffled and distraught The devastation of my battling mind Wreaks havoc in the soul's sacred shrine.


Premium Member Time Delirium

the minutes linger
the hours gallop by

time starts slow then disappears
when i try to unwind

its fluctuations drive me crazy
without rhyme or reason why

it makes no sense at all
time wreaks havoc in my mind

Facade

Secrets disclosed,
Grades exposed,
And constant trials,
I smile.

Danger leaks,
Dorian wreaks,
And all the while,
I smile.

Lost in love,
Thunder above,
And meanwhile,
I smile.

Sitting at home,
All on my own,
So bills pile,
I sob.

    Translation is a fine art
      wreaks havoc with volition       

    Errors of commission
      divulging those of omission

When a Whisper Shifts...

When a whisper shifts, A breeze my way drifts, Carrying His love On wings of a dove, His still, small voice speaks, Silent havoc wreaks, Faith grows in my heart, A gentle restart, The Shepherd is close, Even me, He chose, And I slowly sense The Lord's near presence, Every worry lifts When a whisper shifts.

Squeals

At 3:00 you hear the squeals
As children race from school.
Exuberance goes hand in hand
With youngsters, as a rule.

As puberty advances
And the kids hit junior high,
Such squealing seems the type of thing
They’d have to justify.

Self-consciousness wreaks havoc
With the way a person feels,
So fallen by the wayside
Are those unimpeded squeals.

Beauty

Beauty is within everything we see
But what is beauty?
Is it something that looks perfect on it's covering?
Or is it something that exists within?
Is it a super model on a cat walk?
Or a plain girl who's loving and kind?
Whatever beauty is, it wreaks havoc and destroys
Because of society's rules
Without beauty....
                    ... You are nothing

Premium Member I Used To Could

I used to could do a lot of things
When I was younger still.
But now my body wreaks of age
From climbing up the hill.
The downward stroll is not so hard
Less resistance to my will.
I wander slowly through the days
And try to get my fill.
I used to could go and do and be
So many things there were to see.
But now I sit and bide my time
Just happy to be me.

Criminal Mistake

"I swear the fingerprints were there yesterday. They were there, I promise"
Maybe my tears just washed them away
Devastation wreaks havoc
Loss lulls me to sleep
A wake of buzzards circle around my head
I am beaten down
I am unlucky
My skin grows caverns
Grows desert and dry
I am teetering on the edge of success and failure
I am not steady on my feet
I could have prevented this
Time to burn away my identity

Sanctuary

That place that wreaks havoc
cigarette boxes lying on the floor
Drowning in angst - your place
call it home, call it sanctuary
Call it whatever -
tell it to the bartender
Who's pouring another 
whiskey in your honor
You're the one that's
on top tonight - lovin' life 
With your ripped denim jeans
and smoke-stained leather 
Pour me another! you say
so you could get back on
The motorcycle to heaven
and never slow down

Open Your Eyes To New Dawn

J-ust open your eyes
O-ctober sixteenth day; 
V-ile clime wreaks havoc, 
E-agerly wait, hope and pray.
R-aindrops in torrents
A-re flooding some places; 
C-all on the Father's name, 
H-e shall shower the graces.
E-ven during the storm, the Lord shows His love; 
L-etting you recognize the power from up above.

D-ark cloud in the sky
I-s not yet over and gone; 
Z-enith though will be seen, 
O-pen your eyes to 
N-ew dawn.

Sense of Doom

Monday night,
I had the melancholy blues, allright,
I didn't know just why,
Didn't know you'd die,
Some fools thought they did what God,
Wanted done, Jihad,
That kind of God, to me,
I hope can never be,
The blindness of the soul,
That seemed for them to control,
No God worthy of heaven or hell
Can you to me, you sell,
The reign of death from above,
Wreaks of the devil's glove
And I rue that day,
And hope that they will pay.

Mind Your Chase

Lust wreaks, 
Love speaks. 

Lust appears pale, 
Love appears pail. 

Lust warrants you jailed,  
Love seeks you bailed. 

Lust travels near to sink, 
Love goes far at blink. 

Lust don't offer you much test, 
Love will give you the best. 

Lust suits you well with its pretense 
Love caress you much with its defense 

Lust makes you go for the big price
Love gives the worth cum your happy sacrifice

Sickness- Reverse

Fight your sickness
                                    Within your mind 
                               This Never-ending story.
                           Mirrors speak perverse sayings
                         As your body slowly forsakes you
                         Disease wreaks havoc on your soul
                                    Wasted existence,
                               Forever now forgotten 
                                     Death is eternal.

An Aging Actress

To be an aging actress
Must be stressful and a drag.
The world is watching as you age
And neck and jowls sag.

You either disappear from view
Or wait for folks to cluck,
But there's another choice for those
Who just don't have the pluck.

It's visiting the surgeon
For some facial pulls and tugs,
But sometimes the result 
Won't garner compliments, just ughs!

It's sad to see an actress
Who, in trying to erase
The wrinkles that occur, instead
Wreaks havoc on her face.

I Must Write

I cannot take the silence
Of the uncommunicated word
As it spreads over my mind and being
As it wreaks havoc within my soul
The deafening silence hurts
As it travels the caverns of my mind
Seeking home, maybe refuge
From absolute thought

I must speak, rather write the words
Capture the essence, the meaning
Allow the words to grow
Into sentences, into verse
Providing additional thought for others
So their silence doesn’t overwhelm
And expand over the face 
Of the earth

Premium Member -Known

I have known inner turmoil

Known the personal destruction it wreaks

Known the restrictions it imposes

Known the comforts one seeks


I have known the self belief it destroys

Known the negativity it breeds 

Known the sheer desperation it evokes

Known how ones heart and soul bleeds


I know the power of inner peace

Know the positivity and fulfilment it brings

Know the confidence and self worth it instills

Know it gives peace and calm powerful wings
