Need poem recommendation (sensitive poem)

[cerulean compass]

I'm looking for poem that has torture or injuries as a theme, but not a self harm/suicide vent poems

specifically looking to see how authors describe graphic injuries, the feeling of physical pain or maybe how physical pain relates to emotional pain

Sorry if this is confusing, english is not my first language

Need poem recommendation (sensitive poem)

[cerulean compass]

I already did, but i haven't really find anything really graphic the way i'm searching for, especially about torture, but maybe i haven't been searching with the right keyword ^^ i will keep looking

[ionic tundra]

Let me share something

Does the death looms can't get you a little idea?

[cerulean compass]

Omg your poem is really great, i think it does kinda match what im looking for 💥
i love this part:

Scorch my eyes or burst my heart.
Rip my skin, or rip my fingernail.
Scald the skin, or just kill me.
I accept your death; I embrace you.

It's very beautiful, thank you for sharing your poem🙇

[ionic tundra]

There are more ways

Lets like this

As he took the bloodied knife
He approached me, he cut a little on the finger first then stab in the hand

[ionic tundra]

You can put that in verses

Oohhh that's really nice, definitely gave me ideas

A steady feeling of pain that never intensifies or darkens but stays

[cerulean compass]

Such a beautifully written poetry, thank you for sharing 🩷

[silent smelt]

most poems use broader imagery to contrast with suffering on page. you'll find better descriptions of torture/pain in fiction or prose.

here's one poem that you might enjoy: https://poets.org/poem/now-hes-etching

Poems by Oscar Wilde but those can be highly metaphorical because he had to keep his sexuality subtexted due to the conservative majority at the time.

[ionic tundra]

Huh, this seem something that would be quite good to read to gain knowledge

[foggy lichen]

One of my all time favorite poems, its a quick read but should provide some good inspo for your topic:

@foggy lichen Thanks for introducing me to Carl Phillips, an exceedingly distinguished American poet. (Pulitzer, Guggenheim, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, just about every award there is in the country.) There is great subtlety in this verse: nothing showy, no verbal pyrotechnics, it kind of sounds like a man mumbling to himself at the vet clinic; I think I must be forgiven for thinking it's hardly poetry at all, until you get to the last three lines, "like that part in the music / where it still sounds like snow / used to. There were orchids, still; / meadows. She'll never be free." It kind of reminds me of the sad conclusion of Coetzee's novel Disgrace, which also ends on a similar bleak but appropriately perfect note. I hope to encourage you to keep posting what you like and write.

[foggy lichen]

Thank you, again! I'm super happy to introduce people to poets, and I'm happy to find someone who respects the work as much as me. This is more than encouraging, trust me. Your words mean the world!

[reef canyon]

Wonderful! @foggy lichen has just progressed to level 2!
