Unbearable
A giant panda eats leaves and shoots, several handlers and keepers fall to a spray of AK-47 bullets. "Why?" moans an elderly Chinese lady, blood oozing from her torn body - she had nursed him from a cub. In a less than perfect Mandarin, the animal replied: "Madam, humans do not understand how to bear an unbearable love. Being insufferably cute the matter has always been a...

Premium Member An Unbearable Sorrow
When the greatest of all judges of the universe gives a judgment, it is ever thus, It’s been a long while since you both left, You each went separately in peace and without any fuss, I felt gutted then, and even now, I am still utterly bereft. You were two of the most generous, tolerant and loving people I have ever known...

It's Becoming Unbearable
Our minds are muddled —like a muddy sea The government's grip—a vice that's tight and strong, Thoughts are tangled —like a knot that won't be free Forcing us to fight, for survival all day long. Our plates are empty —our bellies ache with pain Many stores are closed, like eyes that can't see gain Poverty's dark shadow looms over us like a stain While leaders...

UNBEARABLE DARKNESS OF NEAR VOID
UNBEARABLE DARKNESS OF NEAR VOID Unbearable darkness of near Void when my Heart sits indigo at the back of my throat I see no endearing vacant eyes of guides grit in joints scream generational curse which stubbornly brick build a house faraway as mental escape into limbs to twine around clean waves caught on deserted beaches humans trying...

Unbearable Heartbreak
The pain in my heart threatens to be my end, I sought to show the 'me' that God did intend. Yet, silenced I stand, to the skies, I relent, "Your will, not mine," my whispered consent. Hunger ignored, sleep's sweet embrace denied, Like a treasured vase, now broken and defied. Familiar with fragments, a constant state of disrepair, Yet breaking because of...

The Beauty of the Unbearable
Of course, it’s all unbearable. Life was always meant to be only bearable in parts, fragmentally joyful, disjointedly awful. A hot and cold cup of blood for the human soul. Life! What do we know of it, how on earth do we cope? We simply must trust the beauty of the unbearable. If you hate a Mahler symphony, or rap music, then learn to...

Premium Member Unbearable Quest
As I consider my words, I cringe and bow my head On the wall, innocuous blood was smeared Work, rest, and sleep are all intertwined There are spirits wandering the streets Who shout for justice, equality, and freedom They died never seeing their quest bear fruit. Written: May 1st, 2023...

Unbearable
If you knew what it was about You would be sure you were a lout And should I forget it this year Then, could slanders freely bear And owner’s defenses hear And retied knots mark with cold beer… All about A Name you’re wrecking And the cheap lies you aren’t checking; An image a friend is hacking And the wrong person just backing… If I...

Unbearable Ends
It's just the thought that she's nowhere on this planet anymore. The feeling of unbearable sadness that smothers me to the core even at the slightest glimpse at pictures of yours. It's the way I have to grab my chest to breathe, because my heart feels like it's suffocating. I just can't believe she is...

Your Forever Home
Wow. Which color. Which size. Should we put a beautiful design. I can't believe I am picking out an urn for my sister to reside. This is not a choice I thought would ever be mine. I am stuck trying to decide if I even want to believe you left and died. This part of...

As Long As
When it comes to you, smiles are easily cracked Yet, I have not experienced the aura of your presence beside me The temperature of your warm smile The live show of your laughter But oh how The tears just fall oh so easily With joy And With tenderness And just how much I am Simply just missing A person who I’ve not met in years Who would have...

Premium Member Unbearable Beauty In Black
Bells summoned as they tolled the sad departure Of my poor mother’s sudden demise. I led the short funeral procession Towards her eternal resting sepulchre. Before her black ebony casket was closed, I looked intently down at her, still beautiful. Her dress, her favourite, all lace in black. That was her last and final wish. They laid her in a damp black tomb Surrounded...
