Still Embedded
I didn’t see the blast-- just felt it after, in the hush of your retreat. No scars to stitch, just words lodged in soft tissue. They ache when it rains. You said, "It's not like I hit you,” but silence detonates too. It tears in quiet, spreads slow as bruising thoughts. Now I walk crooked, smile with hesitation, and check every room for the pieces I’ve left behind....

Premium Member Happy Birthday To Me
Fifty years burned into the marrow of my bones, A life stitched together with fire and fate. Mi Vida Loca, a symphony of scars and rebellion, I have walked through storms that swallowed souls, Witnessed horrors I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy, Yet here I stand, whole—unbroken, unbeaten, ...

Infatuation or love
Wednesday, 2024.05.01 By May, 3 months passed, We enjoyed three day trips to the nature. We respected and polite towards each other. Somehow I started developing feelings for you. I knew from the beginning, Our relationship could not be further than this. I came up with an idea, By not going to your 2nd home. I stayed away to create some spaces, Like "Out of...

Dear Music
Dear Music You search for me And stretch my soul To explore mountain summits never imagined You touch my wounds And navigate the pain To discover a sacred space of peace and healing You kiss my fears And nudge my secrets To chase formidable currents down a noble river You collect my bliss And scatter my joy To soar exposed without a need for concealment Dear Music You search...

Nocturne of Wounds
A pallid night, a void's umbral reign, Emptiness, a phantom, claimed the lane. A dirge of noir, a melancholic strain, Echoes, sepulchral, whispered in the rain. The phantasmal memory, a haunting pain, The keloid scars, where shadows still remain. A thunderous hush, a silence stark and deep, The vise of anguish, where dark tendrils creep. A preternatural dread, secrets to keep, The cerulean sky,...

Premium Member Poetic Assault
A poem so moving, luring tears to fall, when our tears are formed in our hearts beating blood. With each beat those words repeat this dreaded call. Rip and tear scars of past pain causing a flood. Feelings long suppressed made brighter to recall, each stitch removed; prying petals from the bud. Yet there's healing power in water and salt! Tears cleanse,...

Wounds won't heal
I'm lying here tonight All alone in this bed My memories of you Dance through my head. They cause my tears To fall down like rain Why do your memories Have to come with pain? My favorite memory of us It hurts me most of all It's the one that will Always make me bawl. It squeezes my heart With all it can strain And laughs as I...

Premium Member Face of an Angel
Face of an Angel I hear the distant rumblings of artillery shells I hear the singing sound of stray bullets I lift my head to look around and see the toll Bodies scattered like leaves on a fall day. Some with limbs torn from them like a barren tree. Some with their entrails exposed like a lion’s prey. I feel no pain, just a sense of floating Of being...

Premium Member Suffering
Suffering wounds deep inside/ Felt like I been/ Sliced up by a switchblade/ Chopped to pieces/ Mind, heart and soul/ They keep beating/ On a scale of life support/ Suffering wounds, never ending/ Never to be fully restored/ Each day that goes by/ Just makes it hurt more/ The invisible switchblade/ On the inside/ Feels like Edward Scissorhand/ Soul is screaming to be tended to/ The mind is in a...

When shall we learn to recognize the truth
When shall we learn to recognize the truth That we are being preyed upon by beasts Whose sugared words are not enough as sooth For our wounds that rather increase like yeasts? How many roads or bridges need to fall, Or lives to lose fighting in others’ wars? How many children need grow in the hall Of ignorance, or tending their own...

HONEYBUNNY
In the stillness of the night, I search for you,   not in the familiar curve of our bed,   but in the emptiness that clings to my heart,   a hollow where your laughter once lived. They said the pain would soften,   that I’d learn to walk this road   with less sorrow,   with more strength.   But they didn’t know how your absence   would carve deeper wounds...

Heartbreaking Wounds
amongst rubble, i see an old friend’s face, her trip had separated our friendship. she waves me over, but i was too late, i needed her, and she chose to jump ship. how could she do this to our long kinship? anger boiled into dark rage and fury, but that swift moment was no mystery, the person to look down upon, was...

Bleeding through my wounds
The worst I had ever felt was now when I had to experience my fresh wounds become re-born from the bleeding, I am enduring I tried to apply direct pressure with a clean cloth and mimic happiness to stop this bleeding I opened wide The worst pain is going through my own thoughts and failing to escape...
