Love is
    like the lady's
full tipped bosom,

My mind is leaden with the crush 
     of pain—a numbness of the soul
that's not an adrenaline rush;

Feeling a sensation like a

Submerging in a black abyss
Without a future hope
Of resurface

healthy, 
            hale, able-bodied, 
  exercising, healing, mending
sanitary, hygiene, infirm, illness
   puking, regurgitating, dying
            afflicted, queasy
                       sick

self-afflicted
ignominy.

Dismissal, readiness
without a backpack....

Her chatter annoyed her Queen one day
Afflicted she could only echo what others say,
In time she just wasted away,

'til she became,just a voice.


The legendary nymph Echo,her lover was Narcissis...

Mother’s Day.

Soon after being born, as mother lay there, 
she held me above her head. Opening my eyes, I

It’s Mother’s Day.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.
(To all so afflicted)....

You must help me
I have been afflicted
Most horribly

He replied 
“Because this is the Burns unit”...

Physical suffering, too many,
Afflicted by physical diseases and pains,
Inconceivable that nothing can be done,
Never-Never Land; an imaginary place without diseases and pains, could that be?
Serenity; quiet the mind, body, soul, guide me Dear Lord, free me of disease and pain....
