Welts Poems

When The Bed Burns

...Tongues of solar flare  writhe  in combat kiss
     —flame-throwers unleashed
iron words  h a m m e r e d  in fire

  once under...

Wounds

...Doubt is like duct tape so rip it off,
never mind paper cuts and red welts.  
You toppled off your bike as a kid,
always stood up again and rode on. 

Never mind paper cuts and red welts,

Memory of Love

...to be true to you
all I wanted to do 
be your calm in storms
feathers as you soared

memories of more
memories of horror
ripple a teardrop 
crimson covers it all

all I know is rage and pai...

Army of One

...Alone I drift, a vagabond psuche, haunted by daughter's lifeblood and husband's self-exploded mind, a diseased landscape. Frantic fingers dance on the page as I conjure reason's faint glow, a despera...

Abracadabra Storm

...Dread descends in my heart, heaviness smothers the lands. 
Saturated in darkness, smoky gray clouds boil by.
A raging Storm stomping up the dark stairs a'tromping. 
Thundering foot falls w...

Bury Me

...Threnody dirges miseries
Severance of machinations
The gravedigger’s shovel buries
These coffin crypt lamentations
Lachrymose welts filling levees
Life’s vile xenotransplantations
Psychopomp as...

Lost Track of a Ginger Snap

...Get in your room now,” as daddy fashioned a gun.

Mom grabbed me and her facial expression was undone,
something must be wrong,
I ask she looked at me and welts started to run,
down we hunkered ...

A Morning In Miniature

...

Carpet patterns 
and the swirlings of grain
in wooden floors were maps
to me of exotic worlds,
portal holes for a child
to enter and explore
places edged on the
furthest reaches 
of the f...

Isis staind 27 plus years

...Isis staind 27+ years...

of scorpion stinging poison us marriage,
whereby the missus and I,

My Mental Moshpit

...Sudden snakes in my brain
what a waste are my inaudible cries
mental welts I give myself
because I made you leave
now you hate me
screw my life 
it's all just too hard to believe

Inaudibly I...

shell

...
you …

sweetly spun me
like sugar into cotton candy -
from a dizzy bobbin
to ornament for a spring willow …
no lament avowed,
for there is a demon in your eyes
whose night blade feeds …

Eddie

...Eddie/Dad

I try to see 
back before 
to who Eddie once was
just barely before when
the bending began
Eddie was after all
a cute child 
wide eyed
hugging kissing and kind

Somehow horribl...

The Tree

...The bark was almost the color
of charcoal and too rough 
for a boy to grip and hold on
to climb without bare skin 
being grazed and scraped
back to bloodied welts.
The trunk was scabbed in gum

Why She's Crazy

...Her tears drag down like hailstorms - 
  leaving welts across her face.

Disposition
