Tattered Every Which Way

I bare my authentic heart with each word I say, Then go numb as you twist them every which way ~ ~ ~ Now the entire world weighs heavy today And I’m too pierced to find words to pray. My effort was for kindness to sweetly sway Over your unfounded anger set on slay. Now dysfunction’s heartache is on display And I cannot locate a single, warming sunray. I am holding tattered emotional dismay. You must know love seeks no swordplay, But ever constructs an endless thruway. Blind ears tossed our blessings to mislay. Broken and dazed by our rough affray, I can grab no answer in this inane decay ~ ~ ~ So in silent tears, I put all on God’s stairway. Sadly, I believe only He can create leeway. ...

Caycay, you nailed it. I don't know how the judge will choose between so many good monorhymes I am seeing. I wish you the best. Mine seems so lame looking at others! (not posted yet) By the way, how did I hurt your heart with my soup poem?

CayCay, I loved this, you have summed up so much about life in this poem, it is truly sad, as anger destroys one from within.

Thank you, Arthur. I guess it is neither sad nor good that you relate, but a sign that you have lived, experienced and absorbed, as have I. Thank you so much for sharing your poem reaction with me. All the best ... CayCay

Yes, and everybody gets to ride for free, willingly or not. I just try to leave fear on the ground. That is a total lie, I am scared, very scared of them and feel my stomach coming out my nose. Just in a silly mood and no one's home. Hope you don't mind and thank you for 'riding' over! All the best ... CayCay

We haven't crossed paths in awhile, shame on us both! (kidding) Your face reminds me of all the talented poets my brainwaves forget to schedule for reading visits. I have been blessed with a much needed silly mood and hope you enjoy it, somewhat, too! This poem is the reason I embrace feeling now silly. I am living this poem, weighed under it right now, but totally aware God moves at His chosen pace. Thanks for commenting, good to know it had poetic meaning. Love knowing. Hugs ... CayCay

The wordplay is amazing and very emotive. It felt like I was in the room and somehow it was all my fault. Gee, I am sorry. Ok and now I know monorhyme too. I know the peace will return. Hugs

Oh, I'm not sure the human viewed God stairway is the end, wouldn't the first step be at each human's beginning? I'm in a playful mood! No one here right now to play with. I love your visits and that you always leave blessings for me. THANK YOU. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Just got home a couple of hours ago and this was therapy. These words and other words you sent me recently were most appreciated for their warmth, kindness and generous consideration. Will send you some words soon, when numbness wears off. Hugs ... CayCay
