Palliative Poetic Pain

Palliative Poetic Pain

Throwing and trashing
Flowing and flashing
Breaking and bashing
Screaming and smashing
Mixing and mashing
My love is lashing

Frustrated and fighting
Exploding and exciting
Sinning and sighing
Careless and crying
Deep full and defying
My death is dying

Sleepless and starving
Countless and charming
Damaged and daunting
Holy and haunting
Healing and harming
My heaven is hardening

Saddened and silent
Voiceless and violent
Quest full and quiet
Venomous and vibrant
Peaceful and private
A genuine gentle giant

Battled and burning
Tossing and turning
Nerves and numbing
Hiding and humbling
Tearful and tumbling
My world is crumbling

Evolved and enslaved
Saintly and saved
Bowing and behaved
Caring and caved
Wondrous and waved
Dramaturgically dazed.


A poet and artist's world before and after they begin their craft...or is it just me? lol...

The wife's a hospice Chaplin and works with all the emotions and uses a lot of my poems and prayers with her patients. Maybe we could be of service...
