Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.

Loss Unbearable, Loss Irrepearable
The death of a twelve year old,
Her sister shed tears,
But the body was cold,
Loss Unbearable, Loss Irrepearable.
She felt all had lost hope,
It was her fault,
'I let go the rope! '
Loss Unbearable, Loss Irrepearable.
'I should have pulled her up'
'I lost grip'
'I should'nt have given up! '
Loss Unbearable, Loss Irrepearable.
'You trusted me! '
'And there is no reason....'
' No you shouldn't have, see? '
Loss Unbearable, Loss Irrepearable.
'No! It's not your fault! ',
Said her sister,
Who lay dead in the vault,
Loss Unbearable, Loss Irrepearable.

Things Do
The pain is just unbearable
Nothing anyone can do
Hurt is so unbearable
Life is torturing
Only love I wish for
Sadly, never ever I get it
This feeling never gets over
Unending is the agony
Nothing else I want, other than this feeling to end
Suffering to heal
Love to spread
Will that ever be?
My heart wonders
This distress I want to be over with
Little love, I want to spread in my life
No matter how much anyone makes me suffer
Still, I will do anything to survive
Unbearable, things do become.

Colony
in your world, the day is no threat
in my world, there is an absence of light
"genetic superior cell" controlled
by the fathomless and unbearable
a radical new Form of plastic and rage
biologically optimized
but with a strangling pulse
in your world, you find me worthy
in my world, I "parashoot" my life
a virtual drugstore populated
by the fathomless and unbearable
machine, meat and blood
in an intimate relationship
the new - superior -
more effective than all the preceding
when we can no longer
cry and reality is torn
then it's easy to forget
that the responsibility lies on us all
in your world, the night is no threat
in my world, the darkness
transforms to a vision of hell
populated by fathomless and unbearable

Israel's Sixty-Fourth Memorial Day For Fallen Soldiers /There Is A Poem Of Unbearable Sadness
There is a poem of unbearable sadness
It is written by anyone who has lost a loved one-
It is a poem that lasts a lifetime
A poem of pain and longing
And regret and sorrow -
It is most unbearable
When the one who is lost is young
God bless the memory and grant eternal life
To those who have given their lives in the service of Israel.

Cold Cold Cold
When the weather hot
It so unbearable hot
When the weather cold
It so unbearable cold
These days it so cold
Even the wind blowing is cold
Even when i am in the house
with the fan on it's cold
On the bus with the air-con
also cold
Goosebumps all popping out
Why is it i the one who feel so
Others dun seem to be
Oh Why Oh Why am i the only one

O This Pain Is Unbearable!
one who is ever close to heart
and opens out baring all in total faith
has suddenly closed it tight
and gone lipless with far-away looks-
o how killing it is for both souls!
heart seems to outburst in concern
every nerve straining to send
unbearable ' rush-back-to-me ' messages
all moments souls interchanged
o what a wreckage we have become!
o heavenly angel, descend on us at once
take us in each of your hand
hold us both in the bosom of your heart-
o the pain is unbearable!

The Pain You Cause Me
the pain you cause me is unbearable
the pain you cause me breaks me
the pain you cause me causes me to lose my sense of reality
you leave me alone
you walk away from me
you walk out on what i feel for you
i want you back
i want us back
i need us back
the pain you cause me will subside when i am near you again
this pain is unbearable
anything with you is possible
please take the pain away
the pain is gone
i am gone
you had your chance
how does the pain feel now
my pain is now yours
i waited
you didn't listen
now you're alone
and now
we are no more

Yes I’ve seen a lot of pain
Just couldn’t stand the sight
Didn’t dare to spell it
Fearing it will bring more
Unbearable
Pain screaming quilt
Pain screaming justice
Pain screaming revenge
Pain screaming hurt
Pain screaming PAIN
Screaming more pain
More pain
More and more
More and more
Pain whispering
How dare you to be happy
Whispering
There’s nothing you can do with me
Whispering
You can’t fit me anywhere
Whispering
All you create is more pain
Whispering
You’ll destroy whatever you touch
Whispering
I’m feeding myself on you
Whispering
Eventually I will kill you
Whispering more pain
More pain
More and more
More and more
Sorry I just had to run away
Unbearable

Broken Hearts
So many guys
So many girls
Falling for each other
Little do they know
What is to come
Broken hearts
They don't seem harmful
But, oh, you are so blind
The pain
The unbearable pain
That Broken hearts bring
They leave you crying for help
Falling to your knees in pain
Wishing you never knew love
Wishing you never loved
Yet, love is so beautiful
So wonderful, so amazing
But not the after taste
Oh, no, not that
Broken hearts are so much harder to fix
Than scrapped knees
The scar is deeper
That no kiss can fix
Oh, the pain, the unbearable, throbbing pain
Broken hearts bring

Sweet Bear-Ables.
Wrap me in my history
and I hope this does
not warp my future.
Wrap me in my hurts endured
and pray they don't contain me
and my healing.
Wrap me in sins
committed
against those deserving
and not deserving;
my mistakes.
Twirl me
in my ego
taint..
Flash those lights on me,
strobe- caught
guilty as charged.
Wrap me in my crazy love for you
where complete surrender offers.
Open the closed door
to find me crying desperately
as my soul weeps
for the loss
of you.
Wrap me
in
Enigma-Cloth
against the cold truths
which periodically
splash me.
Wrap me
in sweet love
for you
which makes all this
both
bearable
and unbearable;
if it were not
that when you go
as unbearable as that is
but is sweetly bearable
when you come back.
Wrap me in our Mystery
hidden
even from myself.

Poem Without A First Line
for no real poem has a first line
any more than a real book
has a first page
it comes out of a dark lost forest
or a bright unknowing cloud
or an unbearable pain
so unbearable that even
if you wrote the poem on a piece of paper
and threw the paper away
it would ease the pain
or a childhood so miserable
that only a complete change of life
could recognise one single beautiful thought
or an astonishing moment
when you knelt and prayed
for the first time in your life
to a god you did not know
with words you did not understand
for they were not even words
or the moment when all the horror of the world
faced all the love and beauty in the world
and both were so taken aback
that they could only embrace
and later, speak
or a nowhere and a nothing
so stark that only poetry
without a first line

Tears In God's Eyes
One man cant sleep in his penthouse bed,
Wall Street worries fill his head,
While another man dreams,
In his cardboard shed on Broadway.
Early morning traffic jam,
Wake up call for both of them,
Will work to eat
Asks easy street for small change.
And which one needs it more,
The rich man or the poor,
A change of heart and attitude,
Unselfishness meets gratitude.
Its enough to put tears in Gods eyes,
Enough to make the angels cry,
When the power of love lifts someone above,
The emptiness of their unbearable life,
Its enough to put tears in Gods eyes.
Late at night a baby cries,
His mother gives him life then dies,
But no one even by them to be sad.
And another woman fills the need,
Its her heart and his mouth shell feed,
When she gives her love to the child she never had.
Oh, and which one needs it more,
Its hard to say for sure,
When something grows, when nothing was
As strong as any bond of blood.
Its enough to put tears in Gods eyes,
Enough to make the angels cry,
When the power of love lifts someone above,
The emptiness of their unbearable life,
Its enough to put tears in Gods eyes.
Every minute, every day
A little miracles done,
Someone opens up their heart
And lets it shine like the sun,
Just the light of that one.
Its enough to put tears in Gods eyes,
Enough to make the angels cry,
When the power of love lifts someone above,
The emptiness of their unbearable life,
Its enough to put tears in Gods eyes...
