Time for my #whatpainsyouproject project. To summarize, you privately share with me a pain or regret, and I do my best to find your words. All anonymous. Too many of us hurt in silence… ‘he protects her little family always’ oh baby i’ve guided your fingers as you dabbed away those tears; flesh never absorbed …
I share the pain of another… ‘marionette’ within her aphotic stillness a stage clumsy in its creation awaiting hands to tear it down yet her fingers pluck always twine shadows of remembrance no final lines or curtain calls only manipulated limbs; lips belonging to another’s voice. #barflypoet #josephapinto #whatpainsyouproject – a poem for an …
Time for another entry into my #whatpainsyouproject… ‘found things’ the music preceded him before he entered the room. he took his seat beside me, stroking wistfully that beard of his and said i wish i’d written that, that song in my head but i got lost in the things-to-do and the things-i-wish-i’d-done. he took a …

An entry for a reader into my #whatpainsyouproject – a poem for an anonymous reader and their pain… ‘skipped over’ you throw your shawl over shoulders long slumped by indiscretions while your own sag crushed by a mountain’s burden of long suffering fools and their oblivion. #barflypoet #josephapinto © Copyright Joseph A.

another entry into the #whatpainsyouproject – a poem for an anonymous reader and their pain… ‘somewhere in that well, love’ just beyond your grasp a reflection shimmers snared only by the fancy of the sun this, futile as it is fleeting still temptation drives you into placid darkness dip your hand cup that for which you …
time for my #whatpainsyouproject – a poem for an anonymous reader and their pain… ‘your mom won’t have this’ the store isn’t as crowded these days still a labyrinth navigating the aisles without benefit of a hand. it would be so much easier to rot with the rest of the produce but you were taught …
Let me have your pain… Here’s my latest poem for my #whatpainsyouproject – a poem for an anonymous reader and their pain. ‘he was vast’ she rises and falls atop the shallow tides of his chest a little girl once more fingers floating adrift the ocean of his palm fighting the currents once that had …
