The cut

cut.png

Bring down the knife

Our conversations are rife

With misunderstanding

And as the edge is felt

My flesh starts to bleed

From an invisible cut

As my body’s cells sing with fire

That sends a seering wire of hurt

Along each nerve fibre

Reaching to my gut

I wrestle here

With a pain all too familiar

And find myself

After a brief time in heaven

Consigned to the hell of a body that is aching

I cannot really tell the tale

With words

Of how it felt to fall this far from grace

But echoes are there

Of that day I drove you miles away

To board the plane

  That took you so far from me

And so it seems like serpents lurk here

Deep inside my mind and belly

Wrapping tongues of fire

Around my insides

Am I dead again

Or half alive

And will my soul survive

Another cut

Which reminds me of

Those years I was consigned to be shut

Away from all human comfort

And belonging

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

    1. Aww I am so sorry you can relate. I am feeling better today but yesterday this was where I was, smack bang in old abandonment pain. A big hug to you. I missed seeing your beautiful face pop up here. ❤ ❤ go gently on your soul.
