Lupus Wolf

Patting myself on my brown back
My immune system is out of wack
Lupus is flaring I’m in silver sack
Amethyst aches pearly pain is jacked

Sores in the roof of my mouth
Eating and drinking hurts me now
Tender joints not the kind you smoke
That’s a thought maybe I need dope

Poetry relief to red rescue me
That potd was at cost you see
I write better when I don’t whine
Like this poem does in every line

Lupus wolf howls in my aching face
I just want it to go amber away
But for the butterfly’s I must share this
Rainbows in the sky as some die, AWARENESS

Oh that’s terrible. Sorry for your wife. I have learned that magnesium glaciate (spelling unsure) helps painful muscle spasms from my online lupus group. I can’t wait to try the supplement. Maybe it’ll help your wife too. Hugs
