Eternal Grief

MemberThanks. Michaelangelo? I've got a darker poem than that though:
"And now at last authentic word I bring,
Witnessed by every dead and living thing;
Good tidings of great joy for you, for all:
There is no God; no Fiend with names divine
Made us and tortures us; if we must pine,
It is to satiate no Being's gall
It was the dark delusion of a dream,
That living Person conscious and supreme,
Whom we must curse for cursing us with life;
Whom we must curse because the life he gave
Could not be buried in the quiet grave,
Could not be killed by poison or the knife.
This little life is all we must endure,
The grave's most holy peace is ever sure,
We fall asleep and never wake again;
Nothing is of us but the mouldering flesh,
Whose elements dissolve and merge afresh
In earth, air, water, plants, and other men"

Call of the grim
My nearing grave
Earth's cold temple
The turning wave
Trees abide
In the sound of air
Jaded soul
Are you going my way
I came once I heard you sing
I came once I saw you
Your presence within my love
Weight did not bind me
Voice from the mire
The calling head
His mouth of birds
Sound in white rain
Daybreak
Stand clear now
Here come the calm overcoming
My nearing grave
Earth's cold temple
The turning wave
Trees abide
In the sound of air
Jaded soul
Are you going my way
I came once I heard you sing
I came once I saw you
Your presence within my love
Weight did not bind me
Voice from the mire
The calling head
His mouth of birds
Sound in white rain
Daybreak
Stand clear now
Here come the calm overcoming
here I sit all broken hearted
got a spike when my wife farted
I cant play my drum
my life is real dumb
all happiness has now departed
my urine's torrent masks the T
and windy trees, the buzzing bee
but when I lay to get some rest
my brain becomes a total pest
the silence gives way to eeeeeeeeeeeee
what life do I have to restore?
my life is gone from whence before
my T is a train
how do I sustain?

I shat myself and there I stood
I cried for help but no help came
Then I shat myself again...."

(I'll make you buggers smile
- if it's the last thing I do!)
"Oh...Ouch...chest pain........CROAK !!!"
(...you must admit I'm trying...?)

I haven't had an honest laugh in a while man, thank you!
PD - if you need an occasional chuckle, I sometimes post cartoons up in the thread
Cartoon Corner.
I have to say that not many members visit it,
perhaps 'smiling' is a million miles away from the business in hand?
I still look for a bit of amusement myself.
Perhaps give it a try bud.....x
With loud - severe - intrusive - chronic - 'shitty' - 'effing' - Tinnitus, there is no question that tragedy has hit our lives.
Our very worst experience........ever !!
Anyone who says different is a liar.
Of course, we all despise it,
how could we not?
A truly hateful bloody thing.
What a dilemma.
Go on living in noise, or......the unthinkable.
We don't have to go on living - do we.
There is a choice.
For myself - there are still things in this life that I love, like my wife and family, pussycats, friends, going out for walks, pussycats, intimacy, good food....oh.....and pussycats.
I look for ways to try to make this life a little easier, maybe even bearable, or if I'm lucky, a bit better than that.
With no treatment and no cure, I tamper with the psychological aspect.
Well, what else is there?
Meditation and such.
It honestly does help me.
Best wishes everybody

I appreciate the way you think, Dave. Reading what you wrote gives me the inspiration to get through today, because we all know that today is all we have. There are no guarantees in this life, not one of us is promised a tomorrow.
Absolutely wonderful AJ.
"We were proper poor.
The souls of our shoes was so thin,
we could tread on a penny and tell you
if it were 'eads or tails!"

In truth Emmalee, I know that we all experience despair - but I try very hard not to 'live' there.
If we are going to live,
we just have to try to find a way....xx

But if we thought it was eternal, we wouldn´t be here would we??
Hope is something I never had to make use of.
Now it´s all I have.

Loved that one. Tells our story to the point
Had to google it, and found more....
As I was walking through a wood,
I shit myself. I knew I would.
I cried for help but no help came,
And so I shit myself again.
I shit myself. I knew I would.
It was a fairly scary wood.
The buzzards circled overhead,
And filled my soul (and pants) with dread.
I cried for help but no help came.
I retraced my steps back again.
It wasn't easy turning back,
Because my legs were caked with kak.
And so I shit myself again.
A whole day's walking, down the drain.
How could I face my friends in town,
When trousers blue were stained with brown?

You can always piss into the wind for a free shower and mask your tinnitus.
Could have been "here I shit" all broken hearted?
