Wounds
Wounds cut deep
slice sideways and
draw blood
slice sideways and
draw blood
Wounds burn hot
blister quickly
and scar
Wounds heal
but sometimes not
lasting forever
Wounds inflict pain
that eases with time
or get worse
Wounds can be small
fester and grow
into your soul
Wounds to the skin
to the mind
and to the heart

Post a CommentWOW !!...this is excellent !!!!!!!!!
Appealing and powerful outburst.
terrific piece, and so true..many thanks
Wounds, unfortunately, are inevitable when running the gauntlet of Life, Louisa. Knowing this beforehand is no protection; wounds still hurt. Especially hurtful are the "unkindest cuts" from those we never suspected were capable of such harm. Retribution seems a means to overcoming the pain; it's not. Only forgiveness enables healing. Be Well, Michael
So true! Physical wounds heal a lot quicker than emotional/spiritual wounds.
Excellent...the beginning and ending really work.
Nice poem :-)
Another great poem.
I think there is no worse wound then the emotional one, bruises heal.. emotions can be scarred for life! Great poem!
Very powerful and thought provoking loved this one great work!!!!
