Torture Poems - Poems about Torture

Clinch Fist Pillow Cuddle
Machine gun heart riddled with shades of grey. A mind once sharpened by your own forked tongue. Lovers' lips part with rumbles of a cannon. Dew licked satin sheets - the highway to carnal desire. Silhouettes of freshly washed skin dance in the night. Passion rising like the souls of the departed. Where do you sleep after your thirst is quenched? Where...

Pushing Dead Daisies
The skin remembers, even when the mind tries to forget Scars etched deeper than bone, a roadmap of agony They say time heals all wounds, they lie Time only buries them deeper under the layer of lies I used to feel joy and sorrow, life danced with empathy Now? A hollow echo in a vacant music hall Hope, they ripped it...

The Tendrils of Evil
Shadows linger like tendrils in my mind Nobody escapes the fingers of death Rooted in your soul, planted in your being Seeing is not always believing, it's deceiving Captured like a picture, photo of the truth Manipulated into reality that lies the proof The entity behind the scenes, conspiring Life lived unowned, the robot is tiring Shadows never shade, shadows of...

Murders in Mumford Part 1
A love twisted in a high school romance, Both fixated on puppy dog eyes, Skipping classes followed by lies, Predictions to never be seperated, Only as much as parents tolerated, They would run if given the chance, Upon a mellow river rusted a louring mill, Dim lit repairs by a scarecrow of a man, Alongside the river it was a small span, As skeletal...

Laundry Day
You seem a bit too Monday for someone who used to sway with much colour Wake, my dear, the day awaits, And with it comes white shirts the colour of mud and black jeans the colour of white shirts for you to wring and squeeze and wring – it’s a Saturday Pick your shoulders up from the floor, square them to the...

Blood Red Carpet
Melted in the background of the forefront of my mind Thinking about all of the thoughts I've left far behind Now everything within my head seems so very intertwined The asterisk by the questions of answers I'll never find Interference is what confuses my once solid mental state Fear is the illusion that...

I need a fix and it is so strange This addiction to poetry is a stain Like a birthmark on my rainbow brain Can't shake it off for it is engrained I hear white word and it leopard leaps Into violet verse singing screaming It is my teal torture it is my purple peace Poetry as affliction is a big part of...

Come Out and Play
Nobody really knows me I am way to close to the vest It's a vested interest of sorts, one that keeps me safe I am a Liar, I'm a Cheater, definitely not a Believer I am the quiet one in the corner that sparks curiosity I am the patient one that's always observing, I remember I remember everything, yes I...

"Who Am I" Voices in my head the unheard of They mimic, they pester, they lie All to just torture my mind Who Am I... Who Am I... I question I can no longer answer They've erased Me, Myself and I Changed into the hopeless, heartless, unkind Who Am...

Torture transaction
The attentive window sits bitter and alone, As vindictive vines of envy become overgrown, Darkened clouds fester, poisoning slowly within, And discordant branches haunt before dreams can begin. Resentful shadows form as the candid clock ticks, Fettered to the rhythm and ready to transfix, Smothered in indifference, deadened in distraction, Trauma for tranquility, torture transaction. Dragged from security as hateful hands clench, And disfugured...

Premium Member The torture of the torcher
What is the torture of the torcher Destined to carry light inside, blinded by the darkness outside Can the two exist in a world of infinite color … Where neither is as clear as the light that shines and the darkness it consumes. Can one exist without the other Or is it in fairness...
