pain
A part of life which we just cant avoid. Sometimes it comes into our life in a way that we can sooner or later conquer it, like broken or betrayed heart. And sometimes in a way that we just cant forget it- even after years. Like death of a loved one. That loss is permanent but we have to collect ourselves and move on.
The least we can do for ourselves is to let past go as soon as possible. And for others- to not cause them pain without any reason.
I don’t believe in turning the other cheek but I strictly try to never hurt an innocent person.
death brushes by
A beautiful bird
Used to come
Every dawn
To sing a song
Sitting on the branch
It used to pour down
Its very soul in melody
Filling me up with peace.
It stopped coming
I thought it was gone
Away to some beautiful world
And is living there happily
Then someone told me
Its no longer around
Its soul has left its body
Gone away to most beautiful place.
Sadness enveloped my heart
Death brushed by me
Caught me unawares
A friend passing by
Asked about tears in eye
Could not say any thing
He did not even knew the bird
I could not spread my pain
To his happy, joyful heart.
Some sadness is for us only
They just cant be shared
We can only wait for time
To dry those unshed tears
To wipe out that touch of pain
From our heart and soul
And make us breathe easy
Bring back the joyfulness again.
Ya… some pain are too personal to be share with others and only time can heal alleviate from them…
some of our greatest pain should be kept to ourselves. we are our best healers any way. without any side effect.
Time does heal pain, and leave you with memories. This is a beautiful and touching poem.
very true. slowly when the wounds have healed memories bring smile on lips even if our eyes are moist.
at times, some pain cannot be healed.
some pains just cant be healed- we should let them sleep. so that they dont torment us forever.
My memories are cherished and I keep the love alive of those who have gone from this world to another.
Love your art and your words. You have expressed the deep thoughts of many of us. 
Have a great week.
thanks doraz. you are a perfect angel.
One day has had so much joy and glee
It made you happy and carefree
But what has happened to one’s heart
Did something wrong begin from a start?
It Now seems such a struggle to get there again
Deeply buried is happiness like it was then

thanks william you are the sweetest
thank you william. you are the sweetest.
how come i repeated it three times? sorry just pick up the best portions from all three of them.
what a lovely poem! though fraught with pain .It’s true that we can share joy but hard to share pain and suffering that we feel deep down.we keep that to ourselves.well done Basu.
very true. i dont like sharing my pain with anyone but a person who is really really close to my heart or sometimes when i am desperate- a complete stranger who wont be sad by my suffering.
Some sadness is for us only
They just cant be shared
How I can so relate and understand this! Wonderfully written.
Very true. some sadness are for us to bear.
Your thoughts at the beginning blend into the poem, so sad and so profound. How ones pain is their own. These are beautiful words.
“Some sadness is for us only
They just cant be shared”
I really love this poem, you hit on pain, yet, you place the idea in front of us without pushing the pain. Very smooth feeling and very real.
Thank you for posting this.

my poems come from experience mostly.
i am happy that you liked it.
“Sadness enveloped my heart, Death brushed by me
Caught me unawares.”
No one knows when death’s going to come, when it’s going to take someone/something away.
And the signs that are given sometimes, are misleading, like a sick person that doctors and others say that’ll die very soon, and very soon turns into a few years, while a healthy person, dies sooner. A person at war, alive, while a person in a peaceful place, has died.
This is beautifully written, emotionally exploding.
Being Blue, the picture.
exactly. very truly spoken.

“Some sadness is for us only
They just cant be shared
We can only wait for time
To dry those unshed tears”
Those lines really got to me. You speak the truth.
thanks dustus. some pain are to be borne alone.
thanks adam. some pain are for us only- to be borne alone.
I admire you for getting to the heart of the matter of pain and sharing it with us.
Healing is in my writing, growing too, as is in yours.
i too believe in healing myself and helping others in their process.
its quite evident in your works too.
keep the hope and peace.
i love the way you shared that truth with us. at frst i didn’t know what you meant and then i read teh poem. usually its the other way around right? time is patient and kind.
you are right. people read the poem and then take the help of the words

Some one gone
Birds, dogs, and cats
Friends, relatives and families
Pain will evolve
Painting it hard in our eyes and minds
Pushing out the emotions……..
The tears will fall
The memories crushing down
The remembrance of some one
Memories of the footprints
It’s hard to forget yet life has to move on
Remembering the past live the present
Tomorrow is something
Nobody can tell………
The walk to the unknown
A chance all will get
When the light shines
In the darkness dwell
27/5/10 3.21pm the light shines
what a divine beauty. its beauty is beyond words.
The tenderness and sensitivity to this poem is so touching. And it’s true, sometimes all you can do it wait and wait for that joy to return. Hopefully it will, but pain cannot be blocked out. Embracing it be as relieving for the soul as the return of happiness…
i agree. sometimes thats the only way, most of the times thats the intelligent way.
peace and happiness.
Unfortunately there will be times when we are sad. It comes with the human territory. But you wrote about it with so much love, emotion and tenderness. Beautifully written!
thanks michele. we have to accept it with as much peace and love as possible.
So sad, but also so very true. Sometimes, some parts of us will only belong to us. In that sense, we are islands unto ourselves. So sad, but so very true. Very well written and expressed.
I found you through Jingle’s Poetry Rally:
http://jingleyanqiu.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/thursday-poets-rally-week-20-may-27-june-2-2010/
very very true words- we truly are islands living side by side in the ocean of life.
Such a true poem. It touched my heart.
thanks a lot morganna.
Beautiful Trisha..painful to the core!!
thanks dew
pulling legs eh?
Pain is indeed an experience one can never forget or avoid, as it is what it is. I feel that it is here for each one of us to learn a lesson from experience, and to truly appreciate it more for what it is. Beautiful poem there.
a rational dose of pain makes us better human beings. only sometimes you will like to repeat with mother teresa “I only hope that god did not had this much faith on my capacity of handling pain.”
sometimes sadness is too difficult to utter, words wont express the extent to which a weak heart hurting, the best path to seek is that of waiting till time heals the wounds.
Well said, such a lucid poem filled with deep meanings! Enjoyed it very much.
Exactly. i believe that as long as it can be handled by oneself, it is wise not to share it.
