Vast

Vast story of pain, lulling the blamed,
Its deadliness was forcing my soldier to run
And hide, forming the reality behind his back;
Your backs are turned to him by the temperature.

Hosts of the party meddle with laughter,
Loathing you, and entering the gallows.
This goal has entered and created us,
For we cheerily are geese that gaggle.

Pain still causes us grief, as grief is pain,
And painfulness subdues the leaders;
A running man shuns us, and hidden from us
He attains climbing actions that revolve.

Little Acorns

legs ache
from sitting
word processing
too long

legs ache
with achievement
solidly established
firmly planted

Pains Of Love

Pains of love,
pains of peace,
Pains of work;
Oh, Yahweh! !
For i can see the malakim moving to and fro;
But, i will always sing: ' HalleluYahweh! Halleluuuu-Yahweh! !

A Word of Encouragement

Stomach-ache can be a curse;
heart-ache may be even worse;
so thank Heaven on your knees
if you've got but one of these.

Truffaut: To me, childhood is a painful age, when mistakes are forbidden, when every error becomes a calamity.

Purple Pain-A Parody

Inspired by Barny the purple dinosaur

Parody of Prince's song Purple Rain

Purple pain
You were always meant I know
To cause me sorrow
You were always meant I know
To make me wanna bleed my own blood and gouge out my eyes
You were always meant I know
To cause me pain
Now all I ever want
Since I saw you on my tv screen is for you
You damm purple pain to drown
In the purple rain

Purple pain
Purple pain

Lonely Dreams

I meditate achingly
Her delicate lips
Slowly sipping
Elegant imported wine.

In lonely dreams,
I weep at night
Wishing my hands
Were upon her hips.

Lovely flowers
Blossom in the afternoon;
But while I linger
Unable to see her,
Nothing can make me happy.

Please Keep The Pain

please keep the pain
do not attempt to throw pain away
please be patient
do not scream do not tell the neighbors

do not shame pain by running wildly on the streets
screaming about your pain
please do not create a scandal for this
honorable family in pain

please keep the pain for a while and be honorable
there is decency in pain
keep this pain with a clean face on a smooth disposition
let your arms lay there
appease the pain
as though pain is a baby that you want to put to sleep

soon it will go

Too Many Aches And Ailments At Once

TOO MANY ACHES AND AILMENTS AT ONCE

Too many aches and ailments at once
A remedy for one causes new problems with another-
Tiredness is all-

Death is not feared-
Is it cowardly to want a way out?

One wills oneself to be courageous-
This thing is tried
And then another tried
One pain down another irritation up -

I cough and I ache and I long to rest
A poem cannot end the pains
Writing is only a minor distraction-

It is not good to be sick
And less good when one is old

Pain: (

Pain
Locked in chains
Pain
blown out vains
Pain
Guns and gangs
Pain
Ankles sprained
Pain
too much fame
Pain
filled with shame
Pain
you were played
Pain
you went away

Pain has no Mercy

My face pale - months of pain has left its creases
on the hollow features of grayness appearing.
Pain has no mercy not today, not when I sleep...

...pain enjoys to haunt me - seemingly laughing at the
youngester in me that has dealt with dull sharp aching pain.
I fugitively hope it'll disappear within time...it must.
It shan't linger on and on into the paleness fading away
of this pain-stricken creature that grows
still with every passing moment as
the pain bolts like the flash of lightening
through the body -
giggling behind its hands.

He draws attention to the faces glaring into mine -
'Oh pain' I shout 'go away, i've had enough
with your daunting tricks! '
Colour drains out - like a spiral of hot water flowing down
the bath tub.

Pain - The Inside Story

Have you seen pain?
No you cannot see.
No you cannot feel.
Only the one who is suffering!
He can see pain.

All you can see is the tears from his eyes.
All you listen, his shivering scream and cries.

You just becomes witness and pray to God.
Still nothing happens and you become sad.

Pain comes to your near or dear.
Brings us more closer to your dear.
Pain comes to any neighbor or stranger.
You close your eyes and then who care.

Transform your pain into creativity.
Transform your pain into spirituality.
Then pain becomes your emotions.

Your Troubles?

Your troubles?
You fed upon them to addict.
Aches and pains you carry to bear?
Your stubbornness ensured,
They would remain right there.

You listened but did not take,
Advice and suggestions...
From others you believed irritated.
And now you've discovered,
Those 'pity pits' you face...
Will not go away.
To be with you as if to stay.

Your troubles?
You fed upon them to addict.
Aches and pains you carry to bear?
Your stubbornness ensured,
They would remain right there.
Leaving those who once cared...

Life and Its Sadnesses Does Not Leave Me

LIFE AND ITS SADNESSES DOES NOT LEAVE ME

Life and its sadnesses does not leave me-
Quiet I hear and know
Pains of others pains of friends
Time’s wounds
I cannot heal-

Blessed now I painless walk through the world
Sadness is something else -
Pains of others are their pains not mine
Why should I be blessed
When others my age suffer so now?

I Am He That Aches With Love

I AM he that aches with amorous love;
Does the earth gravitate? Does not all matter, aching, attract all
matter?
So the Body of me, to all I meet, or know.
