Lessons of your past…inspired by my thumb
heal? (Photo credit: atomicity)
All this recent grating of thumbs (see here) and talk of (emotional) healing have got me thinking of the similarities of the two…
With the initial cut
The truth flows out
It stings
In defence you cover it
Quickly
To stop the stream
To buy some time
Eventually
The shield comes off
Ripped off or gently peeled
The raw wound is exposed
You have to face it
Let it air
Allow it to breathe
At first it’s alien
To look at- to feel
You avoid moving it
Too scared to hurt again
But in time it gets easier
You adjust
You accept it
And slowly the wound Shrinks
It starts to itch
Niggles
Reminding you that it’s there
To be careful in future
But it’s healing Slowly
And soon all that will remain
Is a numb scar
A battle wound
In time
Even that will fade
But its still there to remind you
Just less fresh
It becomes a part of you
A permanent mark
Of your journey
Of the lessons
Of your past

Cock Blocked
“No cock block” (Photo credit: dharder9475)
Cock Blocked
My phone
Iphone
Likes to cock-block me
Replies don’t send
To blogging friends
This makes me unhappy
Laptop time
And in I sign
To the wordpress site
A real test
It gets me stressed
I’ll try tomorrow night
Written as part of NaPoWriMo after a frustrating few days of my phone refusing to send any comments I’ve made throughout the day so apologies if you haven’t heard back from me for a day or 2…I am still here and I will catch up soon

Poem: Choose
Yet another powerful and relevant poem…show some love 🙂
Thanks for visiting! I love to hear your thoughts! Comments! I mean comments! (imagine, hearing someone’s thoughts all the time! I’m already getting crazy from my own!) 🙂
The Dream
Such a short poem but powerful in so many ways – thanks to the RCC for helping me find this blog! xB
The hardest thing in losing love
Is to relinquish what it seemed
For even though the partnership
May well have lost its gleam
How do you quell the lingering ghost
How do you kill the dream?
