The Cobwebs Of Pain

The cobwebs of pain bleed the soul
haunting plights can gnaw deep holes
the loss of loved ones can bring dark tears
a cobweb of pain no one should feel shear
the darkness from black souls haunts this land
causing cobwebs of pain tainting what should be grand
diseases crawl inside and plague many lives
the health all should feel can be cut like searing knives
when encompassed by physical debilities
these cobwebs can cause the pain of sailing black seas
hunger, poverty, the list goes on and on
the cobwebs of pain should never dawn
no nightmares should ever plague you and I
hold onto hope and never let it die
embrace those hurting with the heart of a dove
ease the tears of pain till the shroud of God's love.

Reviews

[Coyote Song]

Cobwebs of pain gives the feeling of being trapped in something we just can't get out of , the cobwebs hold us captured in what ever our pain or nightmare is. These webs are strong and can travel far and long. Your poem is beautiful yet tragic, very well written, you weave magic with your words. You take a topic we call can understand and make it very accessable to your readers. Very skillfully done.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

The darker, more tragic side of human life. Your words here are very sad and haunting, a most impressive poem, I think.

[Rose of Gondor]

Eccentric. But maybe it is because of the beat of this poem. Its beat seems very lively, and unlike the pictures you paint with the words. It creates a strange kind of image.
