Premium Member Festering Wound
Midst gifts of life, like poison in nectar, pains flow in too, Endlessly, as though, they pester us with unceasing woe; Schedules suffer; Works slacken; spirit and body slow down, Existence turns, like, eternal psycho-physic breakdown...! Saint Paul had a wound of such sort and he prayed to the Lord, He felt, yet, in everything, the will of...

On the banks of river folks gathered solemnly Where in repose lay the body of his father; Dry dead-wood was stacked in layers they built, Fire was crackling, burning, heads were bowing, Memorializing deeds in voices of the elders-- That is how cremation was done in his village. He recalls now how they walked river’s edge Where wildflowers bloomed, animals grazed As farmers...

One word, thoughtless voiced, can pierce like a dart. Unknown to those who ventilate can leave festering wounds upon a fragile heart. You spurt out things and deem you're being smart.

Festering Wound
A little leaven leavens the whole lump, A moment of festering, The whole body is thrown off balance, The whole body is out of coordination, A moment of taking off the eyes, A moment of negligence, Wound festers and pesters the body, It is infected and defects the body’s mechanism, Let wound be washed clean, Disinfected and protected, Covered with a sterile...

It was past midnight The moon, a sphere of luminosity! But she saw the frozen grimace of death And the nocturnal bats in gyrating motion Meteors of shame and repugnance Flashed past her darkened sky, Cockroaches scurried in her brain, All the nerves taut and about to break Her heart bleeding in silence And her body burning, burning Agony once subsided,...

The family ties are frayed by a festering wound The siblings are fighting over their parent’s will, The oldest brother a younger sister has impugned. As fighting continued, another sister was marooned Months have passed and the arguments rage still, The family ties are frayed by a festering wound. Threatening behavior, accusations, anger ballooned, Some children are refusing to pay the funeral...

Festering Rose
All that gain comfort from sight, and claim not ache, Those that smile and wait for that plant to grow, Who, craving pleasure, are merely to take, Staring blankly with self-proclaiming flow; They surely do integrate falsehood’s patience; With a cunning glamour toward their jewels; They claim to be kings within maiden's graces; Others are liars, and the rest sheer fools; The...
