Pain

    I peer into the this place called pain That lies within my heart A place that's riddled with endless holes Like scars from an assassin's dart   A place that's filled with hollow dreams That ends in desolation Where darkness overtakes the light Void, of illumination   A loneliness, full of shattered hopes A barren and empty shell An eternal tomb of wretched screams A place that I call hell   Echoes of a love long gone A place where sorrow awaits Knowing not of right and wrong A den of reprobates   An endless maze that leads nowhere A deep and forgotten stain A shallow grave of tortured souls This place that I call pain

Can I say: another lyrical

Can I say: another lyrical and uncontrived beauty of a poem, indeed, painfully uncontrived, delightfully lyrical. ~ "Just as what you dream is your own and no one else can observe it, so the world you see is your own." ~ Nisargadatta

RE: Pain

I thought that was excellent. I like a good pain poem. I don't know how experienced you are in poetry, I am not very experienced, but I like to write about my own experiences good/bad. Feel free to read mine if you're interested. Well done.
