Challenge: The perfect ten.

[Remec]

Loneliness hurts
but maybe I need it
to heal.

If being alone
was healing,
I'd never be
sick
again.

 

[Remec]

Life is suffering
Life is beautiful
How can this be?

Life's happiness and sorrow,
misery that's past,
joy of tomorrow.

Why do some people
stop living
long before they die?

Not all people
understand
about living
until it's too late.

"For those who fight for it, life has a flavour the sheltered never know..."

I know its not a `ten word poem` but it fits nicely with this thread of poems. I think the above clearly states that life is for living and should be savoured, and that though obstacles may block our path now and again love and friendship can move mountains...

Needing to practice
what I preach
is not
that easy.

These things are known to me.

regrets and should'ves
get expensive
when i've waited
too long

I want to know
how robins
find the worms.

snow shrinking
the deck bare

spring

wind in my hair

 

[Tathagata]

how robins
find the worms.

they say
" any worms here?"
and eat
the dumb ones

 

[Guest]

and eat
the dumb ones

Possibly dumb
but without legs
they cannot run

 

[Tathagata]

Possibly dumb

Ahh
I should have said
eat the ones who answer

He cared
so he said,
mocked my pain
causing more.

 

[~hellbaby~]

If horniness produced
horns
you could remedy
the suituation
yourself

 

[~hellbaby~]

Maddening pancreas
Maddening brain
Needing sugar
Drives me insane.

Furious pancreas causing such pain
Nobody but myself to blame

radiance provides burns,
even darkness,
to eyes
that abuse light

And it burns!"

Words..

words of true love
like rain
fall from my fingertips

 

[~hellbaby~]

Decreasing Frequency Decreasing Intensity
sex and heartache
feel the same

 

[Guest]

words of true love
like rain
fall from my fingertips

There's always hope
when you think there's none.

I'm happy to see a smile.

flexing palm,
deciding it's best placement,
it'll look
so
pink...

 

[Guest]

From friends to

[Miss Oatlash]

Lovers becoming friends...
No longer lovers...
Too much heartache...
