Bring me your pain;
the hollow aching of your tired heart and the scars that run deep down to your bones.

Bring me your sorrow;
the loneliness that anchors you,
the hopelessness that has built its way into your core.

Bring me your suffering;
the silent storm that crushes you,
the infinite emptiness that consumes you.

Bring me your brokenness,
the sharp and scattered pieces of your dismantled self.


Come to me in fragments,
and let me love you whole again.

My heart was rooted in weeds,
weak and tangled.
But you grew flowers in my veins,
planted beauty into my bones and
breathed life back into my tired soul


and, my God,
I am home.

Smeared like lipstick, over your heart
I see that one, bloodless scar
Spells my name, so drop the guise
You can't hide it under thy flesh of lies.
Poetry with mix of love, body and feelings. Let me know if it makes sense to you.. :)

Words are Powerful!*  Now, somehow, dying are words, this is as sinful, nearly, as is Hell! Dying quick as such - for praying also, sadly. "So if He wish that end, that too is near; grant this, and trust as much as I!"
Dead not is His Heart! True, mine goes on, yet beats hardly mine. O' Heart! Only this is it, as it is, true, (be it Truth.)
Yes! Madder Words Do Hurt- badly so-they doeth so wrongly; and in breaking! Now, is that Heart? No!!!


No heart that is now breaking in-and wrongly so-if doeth they so badly hurt -do Words matter? Yes! Truth it be! True as it is. This only Heart  O' mine hardly beats, yet -on goes mine, True Heart. "His is not Dead!" I as much as trust; and this grant- -near is too, so if He wish, that end. Sadly, also praying for such as quick dying, "Hell!" is as sinful as nearly is this: Words are dying somehow. *Powerful are words."

Forgotten better be love that could not succeed, (true this was then denied.) Years to pass to sadder grief, by love we forced and contrived.

(And now to turn the lines)

Contrived and forced, we love by grief, sadder to pass to years denied then. Was this true? Succeed not? Could that love be better forgotten?

Torn, yet this stretch of night
Is not counterfeit to the eyes.
Purple heart bluffs, as ides
Of each month come hastily by.

Men of conquest, men of honor,
A call to glory is a call to clangor.
Yet still is the restless nightmare
Alive for the wounded warrior.
Please remember The Wounded Warrior Project.

Bear thyself forthwith, O Dear Courage,
Carry on with I to many regions unexplored,
Wheresoever the earthen floor can hold.

No quarter for fear to bear nor yet here flourish,
Not this breast or soul, e'en  if one the more
Could be taken, this hour brought forth to unfold.

Tho I fathom not hardihood, you do with care here nourish
My gentler soul, O My Soul, so you are worthier to adore.
Stay to me, and we will all the wonders of this world uphold.

Here lies my sweet, sweet death, nestled

peacefully upon the downy dawn;
in soft deadly dreams she has,
settled deep and neatly in the rays of the crowning sun -slowly curling into her own cradled
*** so warm.
Now dauntlessly she awakens from her woeful sleep, to prowl and roam, or thoughtlessly
traipse, troop, and patrol the savage doom,
which tonight I shall happily call a home of gloom, (provided that
the heavy hand of thee, my dark angel on the wing, opens soon.)
Because the breeze of mayhem blows
so long,
but I can't control this fine and mournful morn, that looms
hopelessly with modern expressions torn, and pieced together piece by lovely
piece,
as she smiled a smile worth a thousand smiles.
And like no other
was so freely turning up the corners of her ****** mouth -
exposing fangs of tender grace and heat, that shan't go without the
blood I bleed, dripping upon her lovely double-face that I must see -'tis justice for me to this come upon.

And what of you, do any here heed listen to my sharp keening?

Do fair justice true, bring import to fixed balanced meaning.

To what place could I argue, herald of my past's part and parcel,

My heart with ado; haste not I tho to renew, it's most integral!
I challenge you to spot all the wordplay found here -and tell me the meaning of what is written.

I am given to an unfamiliar direction, disturbed into one in need of sympathetic sorrow and affection, left to fall to ruin in a mode, a condition of the dejection -by the one whose tenderness once was, but by no thoughts is considered to be anymore. A shadowy ghost that was long ago and once before a primary source to my hearts little store, but to its succor she could not have been made to allot anymore; and by her own admission she never will put in again -for I have received well not a thing. Now, for this, my heart's made harder, that ***** of mine which I had to barter; that part of me that at a time had been an inviolable origin of gentle utterance, reflecting bright moving points of light divine and made of true substance: but in every sense, I am one who has become most poor. Without a home, without a cent; alive in Him, yet dead to her.

Oft in the secluded quarters of the
unshared
intellect, lie a poets
unpaid debts
of deeper thoughts
hardly written,
therefore surely unread.


His notes are past due,
but they may subdue
the sublime in kind,
(upon the turning of every runic stone in thy head.)


But in those moments of
creative famine
do direful phantoms
make a struggling poets thoughts
their ruinous home,
'til
something
ultimately
will
loan
a response
-thru which we bards are touched to the heart,
the nucleus,
the core.


'Tis the acumen of the unchained
Mind
where lies
the tranquil pleasure
of discovery,
which can be found alone,
here beneath the tree
which we
lovingly
call the laughing sycamore.


Suffice it to say,
we must have that need to write
fulfilled,
or feel blank
and hollow, lying quiet,
still,
there where
our inspiration also lay,
dearly killed,
by another sullen day,
whilst surrounded by the
many offensive forms;

and every essential structure
of our being, being forced
to shut out
the ghastly tidal wave
that has ever poured o'er our
personified dream.


It is a dreariness
which foreshadows
the greatest theme,
that mustn't be
ignored.


Therefore e'er will I seek
the nascent flame of ideas,
searching solely to feel
inspired, bright, and clear;
and here display
my regards
with barely
a downcast
awe

-'til the portrayal of metaphysical line
reveals itself in it's own time...
each
to
each,
   one and all.

Isolation often engenders depression

Depression is e'er marked by sadness

Sadness makes us expressive of grief


Grief is a distress that wears you out

O**ut is where we all should try to be!

Oh, forbidding cliff, towering hell of perils,

Your gales are cruel, and stark, and brazen!

Lightning splits a rift by uproarious quarrels,

A rift in the fabric of the continuum of Heaven.

But I am renewed with a fresh sense of morals

And when it comes to this, I need no instruction.


Oft do I ponder the while with my thoughts, so alone,

Beneath the stars, the orbs, the phases of the moon.

But oh! the bedecked landscape of my sweet horizon

Is open, and a new love has come forth to take me
Home.
The first part of this is about my old relationship being stormy and frowned upon by the heavens. The other is about new possibilities.
