All the Ends of Me
Each of the ends of me
are bruised
All those you fell upon
and used …
Even those
I once did thrust
And wield like some
demented lover must ..
Though sad
it now seems fair to say
No single end of me
is presently contusion free
So pray why
savour such an ache
on bended knee and yield
Oh’ so very swollen …
No less than naked
behind your flimsy shield
A tissue of lies to be spat
upon and yes, despised …
By ladies no less
and sailors and serfs n by lords
But not a single one of them
a poet though, thank gawd …

"Bruised" it seems by a shameless lady of "sailors and serfs n by lords" and other indiscretions. Don't we all encounter such as her in life and end up a sea of "contusions" or worse yet "a poet."
At least the "poet" spoke in artistic terms and never mentioned names. A "poet" speaks truth and uses words like brush strokes. I will be hanging this one in my gallery. - Phil A.
As is oft the case my dear friend MF27 .. I am truly grateful to you for taking the time to consider my words and for the kind and encouraging comment you leave behind ....

Your words have so much depth in them Neville, only a poet can write with such emotion.

... I am seriously more than just grateful to you Andy .. your support and encouragement are truly appreciated and always welcome ...

Powerful imagery makes this write outstanding with its poetic appeal that bruises from dying relationships can be more than painful and those who "savour" such aches need plain reminders of who holds most blame. A read to view over again in my faves ........x
..You are yet again, far too kind to me dear Fay .... but do ya hear me moaning ... nah never .. but like I say.. you really are .. x
