My blood have no rhymes to trace,
while my wounds are on a race
when these scars have found its place
I lay without grace.
Skin therapy couldn’t materialize
Consequently leaving behind a blemish
An injury that is permanent
Resting deathlessly on me
“Scar-amouch”
The beauty of a youthful scar is that you get to make up the story to go with it.

Through the dark, I find my way,
Night may linger, but not stay.
Every scar, a tale I keep,
Mountains move where shadows sleep.
Listen to poem:
white lies like white scars
tattle tail on what's hidden
in hesitancy
that is the tell-tale signal
that keeps everyone guessing
It hurts to say goodbye
It’s never easy to leave someone behind
~ Another notch to my heart

Scars you left me
made me beautiful.
I was loved once
the memory alone
is what makes me
living my life
What about you?
Got any stories
Other than making scars?
are you an angel
or a falling star
I'm looking at you
and I wonder
what you are
a wound in my flesh
or a beautiful scar
from another life
forgotten afar
in the past
I kissed the fall.
Ran barefoot through glass and silence.
Told him I loved him—
even when it undid me.
It was raw.
It was ruin.
But it stayed,
like a scar
worth naming
Scars are ugly
Scars are beautiful
Like death
Like life
They are the same
Scars are you
Stories of you
It is here and there
Hidden and shown
They whisper to you
A story they show
your tears are clear but your wrists are stained,
a rufescent substance engulfing your skin,
the skin you cut open,
to just for one moment,
be content with yourself.

A battle line of past defense, a trail of healing
Cut to the bone or shot through the heart
A mending mark needed by one and all

Scar Tissue Is the Issue
Seems to be something about scar tissue
That has been becoming the big issue;
Orange and strange;
Should re-arrange,
And hair jumped out when he got a crew.

Bright star, shine far
Deep scar, leaves mar
the scar is here is now
being made through
the words of God
again and again
the scars are made
giving you words you
cannot comprehend
one God wants you to hear
that word
is the word
you finally understand
a forever mark
altered universe
rewrites history
permanent scarring
natural tattoo
powerful proof
marking event
cold nostalgia
permanency
here to stay
past mistake
memory
healed
sharp cut
scar
The scar left will be haunting
Let’s nots forget that feeling
the energy of a group
when we all hear the first chord
the melody takes control
shake it off, let’s rock and roll
bring back all the live music.
when it cold
be bold
do like a cat
where this and that
stay warm as you go on
be sug have cloves
and here's way its at
so you won't get a cold
have to rub your noise
be smart as a bat
have
SCAR CLOVES AND HATS
I carry a scar
On my face to remind myself
we are imperfect
On my heart because
I have been hurt
On my mind as I reflect
I am scarred but stronger
She's always there
on your skin.
She's like a ghost
haunting us.
I'm always trying
to over come the memory's,
but I know she's still there
in the back of your mind.
When we kiss I never know
if your kissing
me
or
her.
His eyes are
dimmed by awe
for all the time
wrapped in fantasy,
for all those years
not knowing what
a human being looks like,
and all those times
he didn't get he was in love,
for all those errors
that make him cry at night.
Creature claw marks crisscrossing,
Reminders on your skin
A post-it timeline
Of fear and then
You climb the grapevine
To your vices, apprehend
It all entices again
This prophecy,
Of the knife and me,
Feels like it's gonna be
As pure as milk and honey
Victory Scar
That long line still shows.
Thirty years a part of me;
precancer they said.
Hysterectomy so young;
lifesaving victory scar.

Love's Scar
Is like
a wound
With a scab
that peels..
Love's Scar..
Is like
a wound
that stings
after it has healed..
When all
has been revealed..
Love's Scar..
Is all
that's left
for us to feel..
Love's Scar..
Love's Scar..

Fiery furnace, fiery furnace
burnishing twilight's stellar
space,
my soul soared to snug a
star
but you left on me a scar;
never to bank on dark
trance,
my love now dread your
dew-dance.
Fiery funace, fiery fiery
furnace
burnishing twilight's stellar
space.
