Peace

sylviasearcher

Puncture my dead eyes

Rip my useless throbbing heart

Bury me. End this.

    Each line of agony pierces this reader - a senryu. to end all sens. Sylvia.

    • sylviasearcher

      Thanks Fay,
      Piercing agony describes it well.

    • Poetic Dan

      .... I hope peace came after letting go of this, if not keep writing we are listening. Till the end
      Much love and respect

        Thanks Dan,

        I’m struggling to be honest, so I tried to write it out like you said.

        It came out like this:

        Sabotage

        Silence sneaks around the cracks
        Of the machine gun
        Stuttering
        Hammering
        Sabotaging
        The fabric of my breath

        Blood oozes like an ocean
        In the dead spaces
        Drowning
        Numbing
        Darkens
        The rise and fall of my chest

        Is it black?
        Is it dead?
        Full up with empty
        Seeping sepsis
        Unsaid

        Reach for me
        I’ll make you regret it
        Yearn for me
        You’ll never forget it

        Lift me up
        So I can slump
        High with your praise
        So I can jump

        Two for joy flies from the treetops
        Into the relentless abyss
        Too much
        Too many
        Last one
        Moments

          Wow. That's beautifully sad, I've read it a few times now and "reach for me" resonates so much. I'm not what this is that has a grip on you but you've got this!
          Breathe and remember, you are a star with so much power...

          Ps
          Sometimes it helps to use mother nature

          • sylviasearcher

            Nature usually does help but it’s like I will just sabotage hope today.

            Probably best left in a dark room!

            • Poetic Dan

              Well I do mean more than just go out in it, I mean use it. She has some wonderful natural ways to help clear our minds or rest them 😉

              • sylviasearcher

                We’re not talking opiates are we Dan? 😱

                Tell me how?

                • Poetic Dan

                  psilocybin is the one for me, you can grow your own or wait till the right time of year. But if this reality I just can't get, I play some reggae and let it drift 😉
                  Each to there own of course but I know it can never happen right with alcohol...

                • Michael Edwards

                  Ouch - but a great senryu nonetheless.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Super though very sad senryu. May you troubles see the light and all is well.

                  Let my eyes be clear,
                  Let my throbbing heart be pure.
                  Life is there for me.

                  • sylviasearcher

                    I guess some days the light evades
