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

Festering Wound

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

Festering Wound

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.
Think it doesn't hurt? You're being so naive; 
One word, thoughtless voiced, can pierce like a dart.

It's far, far so easy to tear apart
clueless that the other could

Festering Wound

When the world awaits a sense of guidance,
and finds none, there's a festering wound.
When countries grow weary for lack of leadership,
there's a festering wound longing for attention.

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

Festering Wound

 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,

Festering Wound

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

Fake Festering Marital Spite Only Backfired

“FAKE” Festering Marital Spite Only Backfired...

More than a bajillion painful eons
after pledging troth
with thee missus,
whom I definitely blindly wed
comprised great ta ra ra boom
de ay ye blood red

boomerang/ domino pizza pie
effect pronouncing lead
din saucy impact inducing
mushrooming reverberations,
she continuously smacks me with dread
naught (Hawaiian punch style)

upside the head
jarring delicate anatomical
soft as freshly baked bread
gray matter, qua

Festering Festivities

Take the skin off my back turn me into a rug

Treat me as everybody else, something to walk over

Tell me i am important and original to get what you want

Tear the teeth from my skull, cauterize my gums together

Nothing I say every seem important anyway

Sew my hands and feet together so you know I will

Forgiveness Frees

Waking to a promising morn,
refreshed from healthy brand new sleep,
you will realize all kept, old scorn
that you have yet to cleanly sweep.

You will sip pain in your coffee,
spy it all day sharing your seat.
When allowed, anger will vent spree
through thoughts in a constant repeat.

Anger feeds when you sit to dine,
lathers as you take a shower,
shows

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
