"strenous" poems - Hello Poetry

eyes as eyes. hands as hands touch so dry evidently bland lips as simple as your reflection obvious and transparent strenous affection good as bad bad as worse sweet as sour love as curse walk away my dear while you still can I'm the hourglass You're but a grain of sand...

See the defiance, feel the chains. Extricate with every motion and devour the lies, Promising an absolute freedom; nothing is absolute. Dangle from a cliff, feel the taste of death on your tongue. Proximity matters when the matter is about death and life. Longevity feels strenous while death feels fine. They bound you up into chains and dangle you from life; A blemish way forgotten and euphemized Recall back to the moments of freedom, Have you seen it framed? Have you seen it meandered from digression? Recall, recall,recall and rewind back. Quaff the massacre,push the lump down. Feel it drip down into your system; Then suddenly,you don’t have the guts! Hear the dead; hear the truth.

See the defiance, feel the chains. Extricate with every motion and devour the lies, Promising an absolute freedom; nothing is absolute. Dangle from a cliff, feel the taste of death on your tongue. Proximity matters when the matter is about death and life. Longevity feels strenous while death feels fine. They bound you up into chains and dangle you from life; A blemish way forgotten and euphemized Recall back to the moments of freedom, Have you seen it framed? Have you seen it meandered from digression? Recall, recall,recall and rewind back. Quaff the massacre,push the lump down. Feel it drip down into your system; Then suddenly,you don’t have the guts! Hear the dead; hear the truth.

More understanding and acceptance Be understanding and accept it If all I do is understand and accept What is there to be mad about What is there to hate If there is no reason to justify it How can I indulge in these basic human emotions When logic and reasoning Command my heart All this pent up rage With no outlet to rid of it I fear that someday It will turn into animalistic madness Because you didn't allow me to feel As if I had to ask permission To be upset yet every time I ask Just understand and accept it How high I've built my tolerance It is impenetrable How difficult it is to shake me And how strenous it is For my feelings to escape Every barrier they break through Each time, they deteriorate Barely making it to the surface Only decades old emotions Are strong enough to make it through Lifelong sadness and anger That will take centuries to sooth
