Tearing Poems

GRAND ILLUSION

"It's not in the way that you use it"
with the color of that money
Made a "run" for it
"Something is tearing us apart"
A "Bad: influence took control
But I "walk(ed)" away
I am "hung up up on your love"
I "take a chance" but flew away like dove
"Holding on" for my own good
Do I " miss you" Love
"Holy Mother" let's pray
To conclude the" mask of confusion"
It has been a "Grand Illusion"

Grand Illusion  from Eric Clapton's AUGUST ALBUM

The moon is a silver blade, tearing the veil of night into strips of light

The moon is a silver blade, tearing the veil of night into strips of light,
Clouds shatter like the stained glass of a celestial temple, scattering sparks,
I step through the forest of fire trees, their flames dancing,
Shadows move like spirits whispering incantations to the invisible wind.
Beneath my feet, the earth is a sleeping giant, awakening from ancient times,
Its heart beats like the drum of the ages, murmuring forgotten tales,
A labyrinth of flames stretches ahead, walls flowing like the tide,
Paths that seem enchanted, calling me to leave traces of ash on sacred ground.
My breath is stolen by the flames speaking in ancient tongues,
In the center, I find a suspended heart, shining like a mystical crystal,
I reach out and the question floats, "Are you sure you want to know the truth?"
Metaphors open like a lotus flower, mysteries waiting to be uncovered.
Like a blank canvas calling to me with a siren's voice, an echo from eternity,
An ancestral song reborn from the depths of my soul,
Carrying me toward answers that dance in the shadow of the moon,
On paths of fire, to the heart that beats beyond time and space, into infinity.

Tearing Down Walls

Because of you I have loved so deeply
and because of you I have been bled dry,
"Well, you don't really love him." she said to me
(she gave herself away) in an instant I knew
she lied.
Not only to me.

Walls, walls, walls,
and only I can tear them down,
 But how, behind each brick 
I encounter my heart.

You said such awful things to me,
 declared your truth for the world to see.
You never wanted to love me
only to be set free.

I will deal with the bricks
you can deal with your heart.

Lamet

Lamet!

is what she hears first
him, screaming her second name
as he descends upon her
no time to process
gravity
a thud, tearing her core to shavings
Maiweeeee! She is puzzled.

His baritone dropping the 'n'
agitation
a wooden scrabble.
Nothing is left between her
and Pee, not a grain
all’s crushed
smothering their screams
interlocking their groans.

He is a pawn, no saphead
giving it to her, a pounding
her splinters
putting him on like a glove
a blood-wood
fragments of his body all over her.

She, a Mortal 
(he notes the ‘r’ replacement)
implodes in silence, his pain.
She is deep
no winnowing basket
Her pleas chaff going with the wind 
consummating with eyes
but she, too dry to go gunky.

Left to recline in the tree shade, heaves
silent sighs among groundnut sheaves
“You know I l-o-v-e you,” 
“Yet it spells p-a-i-n, right?”
“We are just pieces of a g-a-m-e dear,”
 he sighs rolling onto his back.

Tearing Stripping Rolling

One of my favorite dreams used to be to rehab a Victorian painted lady
But then a friend decided to do it.
She begged me to come over and help
I ended up spending two weeks there
Tearing down wallpaper, stripping wood,
Tearing down wallpaper, stripping wood
Tearing down wallpaper, stripping wood

Then we spent three more weeks
Rolling out new wallpaper and cutting it
Pasting wallpaper and hanging it
Rolling, cutting, hang hang hang

Tearing, stripping, rolling, cutting, pasting, hanging
We went room to room
Went weeks without eating
Tearing, stripping, rolling, cutting, pasting, hanging
Bathroom breaks were the only breaks we took

After we got her house finished
My dream dissipated
I never want to rehab a house, a trailer or a hut
I have already had my fill of rehabilitation.

Rainy Weather

All the things he put you through but you still trust him
You want his image to be bright, it sits dark and grim.
You start to ask yourself if what he did was your fault
All the dark memories he caused stored - locked in a vault
Hidden from society, hidden from yourself
You get so mad, so frustrated, so worked up 
All your emotion stirring like tea in a cup.
Till one day you just lose it all 
Tearing up throwing what you own against the wall.
You have lost yourself in a forest of emotion 
You wonder if there is a cure, maybe a secret potion.
All hope gone you stare at the wall in silence 
Was all the pain worth the little bit of violence
You don't know what is real or what is fake
Praying for god if he can give it one more take
 wanna make things right but know they can't get better
All you have left to do is enjoy the rainy weather.

Tearing-Tearing

for crying out loud, / lick your own damn wounds before / they being to scab

Tearing

tearing a page
off the calendar
suddenly older

Tearing Down the Walls

Armies build great Walls
Children with smiles make then all fall

Embracing our children
We shall see love never war

When we mix like pink cocktails
We will dance to all shores

Our children will laugh, smile and trance
We have only to follow and give love a chance

Youth is happiness all in the mind
It belongs to us all

Yes all of mankind

Tearing My Mind Apart

Scars on my wrist, 
Stitches on my heart.
Still, those voices persist, 
Tearing my mind apart

They say i'm not good enough, 
They say i'll never be pretty.
I Laugh and say it'll buff,
But I know i'm just being petty. 

These words cut me, 
and bring me down,
But no body can see,
a fake smile always hides the frown.

It's Tearing Me Apart

I could feel the tears rolling down my eye,
It's Almost like I can hear my heart cry.
I could still feel the touch of your lips,
From the first time we had kissed.

Now  am down on my knees,
And I can't describe how messed up It feels.
Am seeing you with this other girl,
Your teling everyone she's your world.

Please take the dagger out of my heart,
It's tearing me apart.
Did I ever mean anything to you, 
Was your Love even true.

They used to say love is a token, 
But you Just left me heart broken. 
Somebody please help me, 
How could this be. 

So take the dagger out of my heart,
It's tearing me apart. 
End the heart ache and pain, 
It's driving me insane.

Am stuck with your memories, 
Tell me what is It going to be. 
Baby please,
Take me out of my misery.

They'Re Tearing Down Saint Ann's

They're tearing down Saint Ann's
As I shed a nostalgic tear
Part of my childhood gone
Where I spent my sophomore year
It was September of sixty one
Our very first week of class
It was only a short walk from school
To the Church where we attended Mass
Coal region was different then
We smoked on the morning ride
Each town held something special
A sense of purpose, a sense of pride
Saint Ann's dances on a Sunday night
Quarter admission seven to ten
Jesse Belvin "Goodnight My Love"
Hitch a ride home back then
Basketball game downstairs at lunch
Or play horsie against the wall
Sneak a cigarette in the boys room
Passing notes in the hall.
My Place was the local hangout
Jukebox in the back
Sometimes playing match pack football
No one keeping track
Now the stained glass windows are gone
And tears flow like falling rain
Soon they'll raze the building
Only memories will remain
They're tearing down Saint Ann's
Feel a longing in my soul
They're tearing down Saint Ann's
As progress takes its toll.

Tearing Down the Wall

It's the only object that stands in our way. 
We can always tear it down any day. 
There need not be something here that will divide. 
To remove it, we can simply decide. 
Without the wall, we can come together. 
Join me in all types of weather. 
If there be rain, or there be sun, 
we can always come together and be one.

inspired by another member's poem

Tearing At My Skin

For my friend Dylan R.

This sin 
Is crawling
Under my skin
I try to take control
But this is slowly
Killing my soul
My past haunts
Haunts every part of me
I always try to hide it
But you always bring it out
For everyone to see 

Love is so hard to see
And I cry with every single plea
When trust seems to walk away
The people I love seem so far away

I try to turn away from this place
Cause all I see is hate
Hope seems so far out of reach
Still everyone seems to preach
Is there a way out of this
Was this a poison kiss
This addiction is killing me
Death is all I see
Tearing at my skin
Lost in this sin
Please take me out
I’m drowning in doubt 

Love is so hard to see
And I cry with every single plea
When trust seems to walk away
The people I love seem so far away

Please don’t remind me of my past
My guilt will always last
I’ve shot myself in the back
Perfection will always lack
I need a God that will save me
White as snow
He has forgiven me 

Love is so hard to see
And I cry with every single plea
When trust seems to walk away
The people I love seem so far away
