weight of sullen sadness

weight of sullen sadness

the gripping weight of sullen sadness, pulls like gravity, to the ground

heavy feelings fraught with anger grab the soul and keep it bound

gnawing numbness throbs unceasing, like infected, scabbed wound

painful pleasures taut with danger tease a soul that's been marooned

pounding temples hurt, swollen, like a ripe, round melon, bound to burst

scattered thinking, thoughts unblinking, feeds the soul's incessant thirst

gloating guilt goads heart, imploding, like black hole feeding deep in space

emotion's jumble pounds and rumbles, agitates a soul that's stuck in place

mocking murmur, memories turgid, like cackling crow's cacophony

laughing harpies harangue, relentless, provokes no soul's empathy

lumbering limbs, long for action, like the Tin Man, stolid, rusted fast

frozen members, ache for movement, sculpted soul, immobile ghast

A Long

These poems are dedicated to my friend +kim hodges and to new love. Love Builds MARCUZZI AND FRA By lufra Love builds, blossoms, blooms. Love covers, hovers, discovers. Love flowers, showers, empowers. Love thinks, remembers, forgets. Love grows, knows, shows. Love shields, yields, heals. Love finds, blinds, binds. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Long Love Makes Love makes you fly, gets you high. Love makes laugh, makes you cry. Love makes you sigh, makes you wanna try. Love gets you giddy, makes you feel pretty, Love empowers you to take a city! Love makes you happy, makes you feel sappy. Love makes your heart sing, Love gives you thoughts of queens and kings. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Long Photo By CynthiaNaniOKeefe If you enjoyed these poems, find more here.

Life Without Color

Someone asked, "What would your life be without color?" I answered, "My life would be pallid and pale without color. Each day would be drab, dreary and dismal. There'd be no primary colors, no rainbows, no yellow sunshine, no red-blue-yellow sunsets and no white clouds. No white snow or black storm clouds. I'd walk in an indistinct and neutral existence. No green trees, no green grass, no blue seas, no blue skies, would leave me cheerless and dry. My face would not turn red with anger or embarrassment. My face would not turn white with fear or pain. I'd not grow green with envy. Nothing would be just black and white. My life would be full of motionless emotion, if there were no color. © 2013 ajwrites57 Image URI: http://mrg.bz/fwDYZp Image URI: http://mrg.bz/g6haeq By Hairysuncold Please find my other writings on Hub...
