Lack of Inspiration Scribbling, scribbling, scribbling
Seeking abnormalities to write
Nibbling, nibbling, nibbling
Chewing nails out of sight
Giggling, giggling, giggling
Such strange words, not so bright
Babbling, babbling, babbling
No inspiration, nor any light
Life Diamante life
beautiful, tragic
flying, dancing, screaming
love, joy, misery, confusion
killing, drowning, falling
beautiful, tragic
death
Lost in Time I want to be like the wind

It doesn’t fall
It doesn’t die
It has no pain
It cannot cry

It flows through the air
just playing with chimes
Listening to their music
Joyously lost in time

Soaring from one place to the next
Oblivious to justice or crime
Teaching the leaves to fly
Carelessly lost in time

I want to be like the wind
Just dancing through space
Not knowing pain
disappointment
or disgrace
Death Death’s snare
Is without threat
If you allowed your soul
To guide where your foot has tread

If you listened to your heart
A heart drenched in wine
If you took the hand of your maker
The hand of the great Divine

What darkness will death have
After you’ve bled yourself dry?
If there is no more you
How can you possibly die?

Death is what you make of it
Tasting bitter or sweet
It depends to whom you gave your hand
And to where you took your feet

Rocks

by *saykha

Was there much pain
when they gave you rocks for hearts
Did it cut at you to take it
with cracks and broken parts

Did it sadden you to gaze
upon the debris in your hand
Did a passion birth that day
to save the heart of man

Did you raise your hand up high
to your head, that you may hear
the distant rhythm of the softest beat
weakened by all its tears

And did your heart cry out
You weren't created in vain
I'll give the same answer as you
when they ask, Was there much pain
:iconsaykha:
I wrote this for :iconlive-love-write:'s new prompt :heart:

For the prompt you had to write a poem that began and ended with the line "Was there much pain?" so if you guys want to try it out you can find the prompt here :pointr: [link]

With this poem I tried to emphasize on how Jesus became man to save man. He was tempted like us and He suffered the same world we did. He was tortured to death by a world He came to save. So when we die and we stand before God and we're asked if life was painful, Jesus can also say "Yes, it was". He's a beautiful being that understands what it feels like to be human - that's why He's our savior :heart:

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to riff on that (a term that has been absconded with from the music world, into meaning, "that inspired me to continue the theme and play off what you did" ... I am both informative and good at twisting words for all their worth. But maybe you knew that. Hehe.)

Was there much pain
when stone-hard heart
struck hand and feet and side?
And jagged edges
deeply stuck
with sharp and pointed pride?
This rubble flung
falls at your feet,
such worthless travesty.
You take those
shattered pieces
and still turn kind eyes to me!
And as the blood
from all those wounds
seeps into jagged shale
a gentle pulse
begins to beat.
I finally inhale
a breath of life
into this soul
so long lost in blind shame.
You gather all my pieces in
and ask,
"Was there much pain?"

Let me know if you object to me claiming this and posting it elsewhere, since its theme runs so close to yours, and I don't want to offend. If I do, I'll link back to yours because I think people will enjoy reading the two together.

Alone Can you hear
my deafened love
the roaring of the rain?

Can you feel
with skin so numb
my hand touching yours in vain?

Can you speak
with those voiceless lips
words of love I used to hear?

Why did you think
dear thoughtless one
that you could die and leave me here?

We couldn't reach
with our desperate arms
all the dreams we had designed.

But you didn't know
and nor did I
that what we lacked was time.Alone by *saykha
My Heart Slowly unraveling
 this heart of mineMy Heart by *saykha
You'll remember I will awake your remembrance,
when My hand caresses your heart,
pulling out the threads
of your naked wounds.
And as the darkened holes open again,
I'll lay My healing heart inside of yours,
and the thumping beats
of My burning heart resounds,
as its loving tears drown your pain,
making your heart beat with Mine.You'll remember by *saykha
With my hands... Glancing at these hands that are mine
I'm bewondered as I stare
With these hands I can build a wall
around the gardens I hold dear
But with these hands I can tear them down
leaving not a single brick unturned
With these hands I bring life or death
What I give Your eyes discern
So I glance at these hands of mine
ignorant to what they do
I notice not if they break or build
Not knowing the fate they lead me toWith my hands... by *saykha
Consumed The caress of Love's gaze
fell on me with beauty.
Overwhelmed I look away.

And Your warm welcome hands
consume me with passion.
My heart struggles to stay.

I'm overwhelmed by Your love.
It consumes me and You.
Slowly You break my defenses.

And with each loving touch
Your love seeps through.
Consuming my heart and my senses.

Unhesitant, You give Your heart.
You give me all of You.
In this place I lose myself.
I can't say no to You.Consumed by *saykha
