Mnemonic Pain
Every pattern is a cudgel for pain
Every equation rings out your reign
Its on the whispers and tirades of the wind
Its in the ripple of water and crashing waves of the sea
Each sinew tugged at and tortured
Frayed nerves screeching and screaming
Begging for the holy oil,
the balm of relief
The anointing of peace
Yet even that hope lies shattered
in the broken pieces of usefulness
distorted harmonics resonating agony
where once was perfect and sound cohesion
Each moment now a taught tension
Each movement a pugnacious trap for excrutiation
Every device is a loaded trigger for wretched pangs all I want to to do is merely write
Of beauty and hope
What sabotage for a poet
Whose pain enscription was a grateful muse
I find nothing of comfort
Because every idea breathes nothing but signals
heralding yet more and more pain
Just like the photo of us dancing in the rain
I feel like it might never happen again
Memory is a Pain upon a pain
Mnemonics are the seat of my suffering
And your mighty reign of anguish
An insanity that devours me
But I will not succumb
I will remain
I will come through this somewhat sane
And you'll be that forgotten memory
I refuse to let inside my brain
The rent will be sky high
And I WILL BE ME AGAIN!
That you can raise such a
That you can raise such a towering poem over the flat fault line of the pain you suffer is testimony both to the power of Poetry, in general, and your own power as a Poet, specifically, to remind us that pain will never have the last word. This is one of the delusions that the "prince of the powers of the air" likes to send among us; but it is not the final word or the final condition.

And so it is my friend if I
And so it is my friend if I didn't have Yeshua Christ and God to deliver me, and trust me this was a complete blessing and deliverance during uncertain times, it happened at work and I only lost 1/4% of my income, I needed a break. Every time something big happens I get time to step back and breathe and learn something will be okay without me and others not. Its the balance between the two that we need to find. I was fearless in my conviction and God delivered me from an evil I was not willing to partake in it broke my heart to watch and then I didn't have to watch it any more, when 8 returned it had ended and I am building my strength to endure and sometimes functionality everyday. Thank you for you lovely comments friend. Happy lent, Best blessings to you and so it is.

What seemed to be cruel
What seemed to be cruel "sabotage", you turned into gold:
"Frayed nerves screeching and screaming
Begging for the holy oil
the balm of relief
The anointing of peace"
You proved that great art doesn't have to be all fluff and sunshine, and that "beauty and hope" can emerge from the most tumultuous inner wrestling and outer challenges. In the last lines you land on your feet with eloquent determination and clever phrases spun into victory.
A striking showcase for your talent and resolve.
