Short Convalescence Poems

When stuck at home for convalescence 
For prose or poem choose acquiescence
Scribble a thought about what is what
Soon you’ll be caught, and boredom forgot...

Convalescence is possible with the renewal of faith.
Each resuscitation may be found in the power of healing.
I have found rehabilitation from a disease of the mind,
a malady that only existed because of my childhood abuse.
Good counsel and love can restore a wounded spirit.

Significance, magnificence, noncoincidence
  elegance, eloquence, grandiloquence
effervescence, prepubescence, convalescence
  quintessence, fluorescence, omnipresence

What makes these kind of groupings pleasing
  It's not you, dear read, I am appeasing
Nor am I in any way illicit or licentious
  ~ As I take full advantage of poetic license...

Break into my life
Lock the cracked door
Slip off your shoes
Your creaking clothes
Sneak into my bed
Uncover my soul
Sweeten the sunrise
Caffeinated yet cold
Caress my regret
Callous naked me
Hold my heartbeat
Broken and in need
Whisper perfume
In ears of neglect
Call convalescence
In stale dusty vents
Wipe my eyes
Estranged with shame
Show me forgiveness
Your face again...

Tangled branch of sacred knowledge,
These trees are the college.
Buried within cold expression,
there is an ever present lesson.
Consumed by the essence,
of a warm convalescence.
Universal intent,
for the love that was spent,
since the early event,
to besiege what was meant.

I choose to thrive.
I am alive.
I’m sinking in;
eternal spin.
I choose to grow,
the need to know.
To trust the written,
elder scroll....

Antiques to ashes
Left with dusty faces

Love birds to broken hearts
Left in a thousand parts

Riches to rags
Left lonely like stags

Life still goes on
In cycles of seasons

Rainfall and snowfall
Reaching out to us on the floor

Our hard hearts softened by the torrent
From fragility we are hardened by the sun

Drop by drop a paddles starts to lift
Till it is a stream with a drift

Ray by ray our eyes overlook the pain
We are healed to live again...

Similar to how
Platypi secrete
Poison from their
feet
the heels of your lips
rips my heart
apart
soul surrender
modern art
Poison guise
covert convalescence
from the claws
of your eyes
Laws of lies'
essence
intrude to conclude
an earnest feeling
dealing with the fact
that I love you
deeply
And much like Platypi
I am often confused
for something
that I'm not
but
in love
with you
this I'm as certain
as Platypi
are to amphibians


which they're not...
