Lost
My heart is lost in depth of woes,
While sorrows echo loud.
As tears descend with silent throes~
Beneath a veil of cloud.
In the dark I grope for my lost heart,
But it's slipped beyond my firm grip.
Each tear I shed softens its grave,
And deeper it sinks, out of reach.
My anguish drums a hollow grief,
No hope of joy or

Winter throes
Frosty cold with a bone chilling wind,
the kind of day to just stay in..
The ground is frozen, crunchy but not slick.
Snow flurries blowing but none seem to stick.
Winter's throes arrived too quick..

Winter Throes - Ws
in cold winter throes
city has frosted over ~
light shimmers on pristine snow
parka covered kids
toss snowballs at each other ~
living within a snow globe

Glorious In Their Dying Throes
So glorious in their dying throes
The red and orange of autumn leaves
Will, too soon, return to Mother Earth
Scattered down by ever-chilling winds.
The red and orange of autumn leaves
Those that once were green with verdant life
Scattered down by ever-chilling winds
And vibrant carpet the woodland floor.
Those that once were green with verdant life
Will, too soon, return to

Deep Within Throes of Writers Block Cerebral Cortex Feels Frozen To the Core
Deep within throes of writer's block cerebral cortex feels frozen to the core
Haint no rhyme nor reason
why writing a poem such an arduous chore

Heart's Throes
Our love will not die, but live on ever,
So let us not cry, we will part never,
Let me embrace you, this night let us dance,
A waltz-jig let's do, passion of romance,
Hold me tight, my dear, never let me go,
Under moonlight clear, let affection glow,
There's one thing tonight, one thing I desire,
Let there be no light,

Amaranthine
Amid taxing toils and ever ebbing throes,
We totter toward the end that must come;
Yielding all stale themes of yester-breath,
Our face as meek as that of a dying lamb.
Such ill-fated Odyssey kicks off with a cry
Of baffled aspects between fright and joy,
And thus unfurls green every puerile soul,
Mocking suns that

The Death and Throes of Agony
The trainings and drills were rigorous,
Most of the recruits came out victorious.
The khaki, boot, helmet and rifle were given,
Soldiers. Ready to defend the country for a reason,
With their fists and guns - they believe to be glorious.
Their posting and peace keeping missions were politically and tribally influenced,
Left with no option, they obeyed - an unobjectionable

Inside the Mad Throes
Shackled by the fetters of deep desperation,
Can't break it free, can't break it free,
My mind voice rises to the top of consternation,
Can't let it be, can't let it be,
Tackled by my disturbed mind's waking,
I shout and scream, I shout and scream,
Rewind the poise, my mind's now

I Am In the Throes of Myself
I am in the throves of myself,
not looking for a way out,
but wondering if I could find one
if I wanted to.
Not caring at this second,
so letting this thought
float aimlessly back to my
distracted self.
meditation has nothing on me

In Throes of Doing Nothing
I am in the throes of not doing anything right now, and it is irritating to me.
How much longer can I do this? I sit and stare at all of the things I am not doing.
They overwhelm me. No sense in even getting started, as I would be here for a long time,
And probably

In the Throes of Dying Love
In the Throes of Dying Love
In the throes of dying love, you’re a
fallen angel, with no celestial saving grace.
Rose-tinted glasses shattered, you’re no longer
my hero, just a stark-naked zero.
You besmirch every passing season
that we shared…hacking them down,
one by one, like ugly unwanted weeds
in your garden. And my hope for a new
