Best Wounds Poems

Dear Mother, should my footsteps never tread
The pathway which would lead to your embrace,
Know this, though many words were left unsaid,
Your love has pierced the darkness of this place.

I cannot lie and least of all to you,
My mind is frail, and body's wracked with pain.
I...

Composed, my dreams embrace, then fade
with memories, quite undefined
returning nights, upon the shade
when clocks are wound, and sun reclines

When weariness is not enough
to lie alone, to sleep again,
the darkest ghosts, upon the cliffs
return as if I've begged them in

Appearing with unspoken words
to pull the quilt...

The wound inflicted, you will never see,
for it lies in the recess of my mind
Internal is the bleeding; let it be!
You try, but peace of mind you can not find

There are some wounds that will not heal because
the arrow was at close range _driven deep.
There is not need for antiseptic and gauze
for permanent is damage that still weeps.

These wounds that will go to eternal sleep
where my Savior will say, "I understand".
He'll cleanse and bind_healing...

You’ll find us tied up with regret
We elephants never forget
This isn’t myth bunk

He walked in with a load on his shoulder 
And a twenty pound pain in his heart
With the tears in his eyes he looked older
And he didn't even know where to start

He spoke of wartime memories
And the injuries that he'd sustained
Said sometimes he wished he'd...

You belong somewhere in the vast cosmos
where the idiomatic idioms were born

I started to wonder and cry,
Lord, have mercy; this is not I.
I felt as if years had passed! along with age! farewell
oh, we soar to an infinite place to dwell.

The last goodbye was the...

The wind raised the wave with pleasure over and over, 
exploding with its weight embracing the jagged rocks. 
Seeing the aged shoreline spread like an endless rover, 
of eroded pinnacles. No ship dare seek its locks, 
for its nonexistent shore has suffered severe shocks.

She hugged...

"The ink that bleeds from this pen,
Mimics that of which bleeds from my soul.
Understand that these are not just words,
But open wounds that spill to paper."...

Many claims to be a great healer
but often shows them false
words are easy but don't deliver
truth's reality is the great revealer

God alone is the one true doctor
who deals with ills by sure success
even those with hearts that are crushed
hidden their ailments are under its dress

The mirror reflects a lifetime etched upon my skin; a canvas of stories whispered through maturity. I stand before it, middle-aged and exposed, my nakedness laid bare. My image holds no judgment, only truth—an unyielding witness to my existence.

I have been heavy my entire adult...

In time all wounds heal
It's what you make of it and how you express what is real,

Healing is a process that varies with time
Depending on the situation you may heal on a dime,

But, if you loose a loved one in a sudden death
We must have...

Faith lost, love failed
All because of what's unveiled.
And in this pain I have been jailed.

It was not you, it was all me
And no one else will ever see
How these things all came to be

But now it's lost, now it's gone
I watch the sky for signs...
