I get pain in my hands
Like my veins want to dance
No music no matter I still have them
They are purple painful muscle spasms
I had to stop playing piano because
I lost interest spasms threw me off
Got a new thrill volunteering at ASC
Spasms I refuse to let you defeat
Not sure there’s a cure for it though
I appreciate pain meds keeping close
Most times I don’t take much at all
Don’t want an addiction so press pause
On all activities that require hands too much
I type with one finger on iPhone my love
What about you do you have a challenge
I know I’m not alone in the world balance
I will pray for you and you pray for me
That we find hope peace and pain relief

These quakes and shivers of mine,
Are they tales forebode?
Language spat, drool untold,
Encrypted bits by line.
Does the anchor sit?
Cracks in dorsal fins,
Pinch the nodes whose nervous system knows,
Better than to think.
Juniper pine, ferment pepper mend,
The ache of later hours,
To quench the essence ever tends,
To that which self devours.
Canticles of echoed places,
Hummed in spaces felt at once,
Coded corpus, temporal traces,
And seemly more than nonce.
If only I was less than this,
As only now's enough,
To be all, I'd be remiss,
Missing all the stuff.

I’m having muscle spasms in my hands
Since last night that I can’t stand
It causes me to have some pain
And it’s not even due to rain
The pill I took makes me sleep
Sucks for writing poetry
And I’m still on top of my bed I confess
Watching for the My Favorite Teacher Contest
I love the entries I’ve gotten so far
Poets have the golden hearts
I’m being taught myself right now
To take it easy and lay it down
So I will write when I wake
It may suck or may be great
But poetry is a great escape
From reality of pain today

A light feathery caress
Magnetic bliss electricity
Epicentre is along our spine
Sends form into a joyous spasm
In delight we witness the dance divine
One with Oneness, encompassing all space
From all-ness of no-thingness we look in
Mind-body responds in playfulness
With nary a trace of resistance
Simply radiating blissfulness

Spasms of delight, pervades our form
Searing magnetic bliss
Caress divine, blissful and warm
Peaked joy, nothing amiss
Attention fixated
Ego decimated
Joyous heart elated
Through day and night
Spasms of delight

As the body awakens
from the lure of slumber,
involuntary reactions
send limbs akimbo,
often with results
hilarious and violent
to rebuff once dormant
instincts of preservation.
A giggle escapes
within the thrill
of righteous struggle
as armies of cells
fill the whole with
magnetically-charged
gusts of lifting ether
levitating souls onward.
