Short Festers Poems

Open grave lies death door
festers corpse with rancid air 
igniting a flight....

Dark and sour feeling
Festers inside me, intense
Scraping parts of me
That are irreparable
Hurting my tortured old soul

Lying on the ground 
I want to talk or just scream;
you like me emotionless;
Silence creeps inside;
For a time the buzz eases,
then festers into landmines....

in every kindness
           a warm contagion festers –
              words infecting hearts 
       shared love - in fevered fervent
            propagate in viral flames...

Bitterness a destructive human trait
Harbouring ugliness in a vessel
To escalate….

Bitterness festers in the soul
Injecting hatred into the heart
Creating a black hole…....

Civil Wars 
A civil war lasts long in psyche of people 
Bitterness of having lost festers from one
Generation to the next and black America 
Are still victims caught in the middle of
The unresolved....

Please don’t whisper Cupid’s brutal name
Salvation’s ghost can’t quell my shame
My heart pushes only blood
Through unproductive mud
Waste festers inside
No trace of pride
Pulses though
Without
You...

Constant reminders
Pin-prick my heart
Till I bleed out
Melt down quietly
Alone
No one notices
Try to regain calm
A tentative hold
Easily broken
Disquiet
No one to bleed the toxin
Clean the wound
Allow for healing
Instead it silently
Festers...

It bites it claws away
Remembering yesterday
As it tears your gut unhealed
The wound festers and the blood congealed

For you know every one
The sadness can’t be undone
And the peace you crave
Will be lost as your resolve will cave.

Below the Surface, something Boils
Something Seethes and something Churns
Something Wakes; it Stirs - Uncoils!
Something Aches and something Burns
Something festers, something stings
For relief my Psyche screams!
Waves of Calm and soothing Song,
Alas! Are things of Dreams......

let's not speak of it again
least it festers and takes hold
leaving despair in our hearts

let's dance among the stars
and shine among moonbeams
concentrating on our friendship

let's nurture each other,
facing a fresh new horizon with optimsm and hope
join me if you dare...

spiritual 


   conversations



           screaming


                     the jail cell

        where the wickedness festers


like worms on a plate

                   of sacred bread

          eaten in secret




       and divided amongst the disciples of Hell...

god burst everywhere and nowhere all at once
it is the super nova that festers inside the galactic prism of self.
with eyes that look into clouds for what a mirror reflects before them
the mind is dormant to the sound of awakening.
what more to truth should be added to stretch into nine lines?...

Poetry Soup's it.
Virtual, cool spot,
Of poets from all;
Corners of the globe.
Just sharing verses.

Our ink differs,
But that's okay.
We learn from that,
And start to grow.

Some days the
pot festers;
with much gunk.

With time,
Turns back;

Good.

we live
       we sigh
we oftimes cry

and sometimes weep,

as words hit deep...
       we die

sensitive souls,
'neath the veneer,
       a tear

       appears
       then dries...
the scar remains

       festers
       erupts
again,again....

until we choose
new birth...
we lose...

In the middle of "hell" and all its ogres,
It is difficult to find a ray of hope,
or salvation to lighten the spirit,
A smile or simple laughter fights its
way to get to the surface,
While the heart festers with pain
and angst, a mere facade to the outside
world, affirming the mirage, that all is well....

could you tell me 
what made you 
so hungry, what
made you swallow
me whole?
            -------silence
regress, the distress
festers like blisters
flustering the mind.
could you tell me 
what made you
shiver so hard, soak 
me with sweat?
            -------silence
misplaced regret
tangled in the fence....

DUSK

Sadness surfaces at dusk
permeating sky
as gentle pitch of
birds intone
above evils shriek.
Lost leaves depart
lonely barren sticks
as winter chills its
mortal demise
and festers deep.
Panorama vestige steals
and defies the stroke
of the hand that lies
like feline eyes through
an eerie dusk

A popcorn kernel between your gums
serves only to annoy.
Until it festers to a head
and pops out to your joy.

A kernel to be licked about
provoking all your gums
and soothing nature come to you.
Your voice in little hums.

To lastly there's a swallow had.
A gulp to pull it down.
To scratch your throat in bitter taste
and leave it there to drown....

Festers and Does Demean

Falsehood festers and does demean;
Results can turn you into foolish Fein,
Who knows he will and tries to survive,
And his greatest ability is to connive.

Lies like an animal who has been hurt,
While all the tragic issues he will skirt;
All he leaves are bad feelings behind;
Should be impeached or asked to resign.

Tense

A way to be sure
to leave dirt visible on turned stones
one more chance to make things right

all they can say is...
what they say
what ever is done, can be forgiven

when a voice speaks up
it runs the risk of being over-shouted, shut down
or perhaps, it makes a huge difference

if something is never said,
it festers, burns, spreads
a disease called regret....

Said I did
Lies told through
The pursing of my lips
Outwardly living
Deep within the soul
Anxious falsehoods
Birthing down
Inward my darkness
Festers out of control
Truth forgotten
So lies become
The inevitable
Truth
Said I did
Becoming more
Than real
Creating monsters
Under my bed
I hide there too
Arm wrapped
In cold cloth
Of a sickness
Born out of self hate...

Tonight I closed my eyes entering a door where I'd never been
I turned, I looked over my shoulder, and through my eyes I've seen

I see a life of hurt, the despair of a darkened soul
Who's past just festers his silhouette, living to be his goal

When I closed the door behind me, a relief caressed, I breathed
If not for this door now entered, over my shoulder I would see me grieve...
