The Rotteness of Pain (Poem: Deeper than Wounds)

The gravity of pain and the rottenness of pain and no one really understand except the individual who suffers it.  Your pain might be more severe than my pain.  Only one in history has suffered the most acute pain.  Indescribable by anyone and yet everyone experience it at least at the onset of life.

There is ugliness in pain as well as beauty.  Without pain how would you know there is something wrong.  Pain can signal healing.  You have to deal with the painful things of life and plead for healing with all your might.  God hears everyone's prayers, just ask him.  He did it for me and I am sure his boundless love will reach to you as well.

My pain came mostly to me through people's words and my owns.  The pain of words is devastating and I can't urge you enough...Be careful with them.  I attempt to be careful, but every once in a while I have to catch myself.  It breaks my heart to see so many parents who are careless with their words to their children and even then that's probably only the tip of the iceberg as I am not even aware of what is happening behind closed doors.  I was hurting a lot when I wrote this poem, sometimes pain keeps you silent only to show itself through one's writing.  This is also what you can do with your pain.  It is to express it through arts or hobbies.  I chose writing and it brought some healing.


Deeper than Wounds

Bernard Demaere

 

My pain is deeper,

Than my wounds,

Deeper than

I can explain,

Unseen by comparison,

I have been rejected,

Lied to and forgotten,

Broken promises,

I have been told:

“We care”

I have fallen,

To the ground.

I get up,

And try again,

But for how long?

Who is kidding who?

How smart are you?

To let me down,

Indefinitely,

Why don’t you get up?

When you fall,

And everyone will see.

No one understand,

No one even tries,

Sometimes, I wonder,

If God even does,

Tell me what is going on?

 

 

I was born in Belgium ����.I am retired and living with my wife of 36years, Cathy. We are the proud parents of two adult married children. One of each, Zoe and Steve. Now we have grandchildren as well. I love writing, I don’t write some poetry. I have quite a collection of poems.

The Power of Fathers

Fathers are valuable beings in children's formation not just the mothers. They set the right values in a home and the standards of moral.  They are much needed. I am glad I had a dad and when I look around I am glad my dad stack around all his life.  So many fathers have left the coop for whatever reason.  I can honestly say that it hurts my heart to see single mothers looking after their children without a father. My dad was dedicated to his family and we always had food on the table. He had to be very busy because of his business in body shop and that I miss, the interaction with him on the emotional level.  I think maybe my children missed that too.  I urge every father to be there for their children, not just physically but emotionally.  It will save them a lot of regrets and sorrow later. I wish all the fathers out there a wonderful day with their family whether you are in a country that celebrates Father's day or not.   Here is a poem that descri...

Imaginary Imagery

So many times I wonder how what I read in people's faces or even in my own thoughts is actually what really happens. Am I really mad for the right reason or is it all in my imagination. What about you?  Are you really seeing what you are supposed to see or you have to reconsider something? Maybe you missed something in the context of what they were saying. Do we understand everyone perfectly?  Do we communicate perfectly? Let's revaluate!  Give them another chance. Say no to that divorce or that fight. Is it worth it? Here is a poem about Imagination: Imagination Bernard Demaere   Image, Aviation, Imagination. The bird flew from the cage. Freedom took wings, To worlds of dreams. Making anything Into something. A bird can be caged, A cage, a bird, Have your heard? The bird, When he flew, From the cage, High above. Above your neck, That’s your head, He never came back, Till he found something, In the worlds of dreams, In ...
