Short Curative Poems

Hands are for healing,
Alleviating, soothing,
Balms for calming,
Gently restoring,
Curative hands, 
From many lands,
To salve and ease,
Free remedies,
Hands for comforting,
Hands are for healing....

He
mumbles
cryptic terms
to spring a love
he has camouflaged
in the shelf of his heart
Though dust has cumulated
He managed to pave his way
to attain her secluded fortress
His gestures decrypted what words failed....

Under divinities shadow,
Rests the tree of life.
With aromatic branches,
Dissected by a pocket knife.

Medicinal veins lushly flow,
Carrying remedial cures.
A verdant daze ensues,
As romantic buds allure.

Poetic smoke…recites,
The stanzas of cannabis trees.
As healthy lungs exclaim,
The power of curative leaves.

February 12, again 

Must you, must you,
hotter than fire,
seek your prey.

Sun do not dare arise
nor collect your praise
for stardom.

You hid you curative warmth,
shrouded her instead
in ironic cimmerian way.

Turned to torrent,
you were but the eye
a momentary flash,

as she limply lay
Please rain today.
Please rain today.

Listen to poem:

Medication paused a day
the balm of urge then delayed
with a will to live without
if only for the briefest time

until the need comes again
sight unseen to other folks
yet more present than concerns
voiced for the abstinence

when that fix to ease the pain
sometimes a scratch or bloody gash
demands more than platitudes
even as they fill the void

between damnation and relief
the intermission feeds a hope
somewhere past the curative
is a life of more control....
