This is another brain dump, friends… for those who don’t know – I call these types of poems where I am trying to process something that’s going on in my life “brain dumps” … just dump all my emotion out on the page. So yes, it may be poetic and it may still resonate with the reader, but it is therapeutic in nature, more for me than for you…. But that being said, it’s Tuesday, so it’s OpenLinkNight at Dverse … So read my piece, comment on it, then go over and indulge your poetic fantasies with this wonderful group of poets!
NUMB
Heart in stasis
paralysis
shocked immobile
by news that my love is
again in the care of the medic
this overwhelms like the swell
of tsunamis on emotion’s coastline
not sublime at all
waves of pain stand big and tall
overpowering fragile heart
unable to call for help
in the shadow of the wave
Run! Run! Goddammit, RUN!
This is not the time for fun
and games, this is serious shit
Hearing this again racks soul with pain
but electric paths don’t move from brain
to feet – heart rooted to the spot
Unable to move, my soul cannot
process this – let her be alright
And come home again to be wrapped up tight
in the arms of my love…
But for now I need to move
can’t let fear paralyze me
Gotta escape this monstrosity
of fear that wants to crash around me
with the power of the world’s worst tsunami
I need to keep radiating positive energy
and not succumb to the lure of negativity
She’s gonna be fine, just you wait and see
and once again be smiling and happy
and not connected to yet another i.v. –
please, my love … come back to me!
Passion's Pleasure 
I can feel your pain. I hope everything will be fine.

Posted by bajanpoet | July 25, 2012, 1:02 AMJesus Robert, I feel your pain in this, your frustration, your lamentation of wanting to do everything, anything, one thing and feeling as though you can do absolutely nothing. But that is not true, you can do two simple things, you can be there for your love, if not in body – in spirit, she will know and once you’re there – pray.
I just glanced at your response to to comment above mine as I type. Good to know things are looking up. Peace my brother.
