Unsoundness poems on Hello Poetry

Colin Kohlsmith Feb 2010

I cannot heal
This pain keeps stinging
As each line of thought
Reveals new truths
That are hard to accept
Kindness was repaid with anger
Love with rejection
Faithfulness with betrayal
Devotion with abandonment
Gentleness with rage
Dedication with neglect
Patience with intolerance
Thoughtfulness with disregard
Compassion with coldness
Mercy with judgment
Saneness with unsoundness
Truth and honesty with lies
Open arms and acceptance with bitterness
So why do I feel guilt and sadness
For crimes I did not commit?
Why am I taking the blame for a lie?
To be falsely accused is a worse sentence
Than to be justly condemned
At least the guilty can repent and start a new life
Rather than stay mired in a web of lies
One can learn to accept criticism and move on
Or to laugh at oneself
And in humility make the necessary changes
But this... this slander
Is simply poison
To the soul

The portrait

I sat at the patio
seeing that portrait of a women facing ocean
discovering unsoundness of my imagination
as a saccadic thunder blazed
opening the eye of sky
as the clouds liberated first rain drops
which kissed inglorious mud
filling the air with intoxication
of romantic vapors.
Chained by the lust of intolerable fragrance
i crept along with those winds
near to the parapet as lazily as a drugged snail!
Tantalizing my dreams
a heavy wind with some dew
blew on to my face
as my lips raised in a sarcastic passion
conveying its reason to live.
Humanity overflown from my heart
as the innovative part of my brain
continued to search for the irrational logic of my smile.

In Verbatim

Actions speak louder than words
You r actions are very loud
I let you in enough
Time that I shut you out.

This is the new old me,
Semi-insanity
Is my unsoundness a sin?
Once again, your actions, in verbatim.

Aggravated,
I am losing my patience.
Whole teenage years I've been waiting;
I can't help but feel forsaken.

Am I made to be broken,
Are these the things I deserve?
I'm afraid, now that I've spoken
You'll use them against me, my words.

My Heart Forever With You

I watched you in view
Boarding the purely
Phenomenal plane
The pain in my eyes
Gaining momentum
As I thought about
All the times we had
Been together
All the love we had built
All the peaks and valleys
The uncounted nights
Of passion and pleasure
Sadness and unsoundness of mind

When you said you didn’t
Love you anymore
When you were exhausted
Of the stress I lumbered you with
When I asked you for forgiveness
Told you that I never meant
To bring my past
Into this relationship
You were all I ever wanted
The only love that I saw
Vividly in my eyes
The only one I had
Spent so much time with

Even when the sun
Let up its light
And shimmered
Upon our universes
Streamed in our bed
As we caressed each other more
Knowing we would
Adore one another more and more

And as I stared at the plane
Leaving ground
A part of me left with you too
Knowing it would be
A long time before I see you again
Knowing the tears I cried
Were all shadowy shattered goodbyes
Wondering how time
Went by like lightning
Looking at the pale gray sky
Slightly smiling
Greatly waving
My heart forever with you

— The End —
