it’s good to create
energy in a marriage
a bit of spark adds
excitement to any
couple’s relationship
but negative energy
will backfire on itself;
wound like [bam]
agitated boomerang
or spring [zing]
like wristwatch too
tightly wound, no
longer
synchronized
in time
together.
Lillian challenges us to write a quadrille (44 words) using both pronunciations/meanings of “wound”. Join us at dVerse poets pub 🙂

we come needy,
“damaged goods”
in pretty wrapping
eager for relationship
a safe place to unpack
the assortment of our
mismatched baggage
yet we unintentionally
wound each other
with wary words both
spoken and unspoken
gestures misconstrued
whether subconscious
malice or callous
thoughtlessness
we’re here together
with scars and scabs
as we pretend to
search for fresh
bandages even as
we hope for real
healing found only
in true forgiveness.
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)
