i apologize in advance for the content...it needs posting more than it needs comments.....thanks

wednesday morning snake bite kit

if i had only known
or cared
how easily you were going to
ruffle today i would have
readily stayed out of your path
instead of now dodging your
sh....rapnel
from below
your lofty perch

lost to you is my kindness
and my soft caring
your possessive control
has stolen it from
us both
and look at me now
snarling at your sarcastic
curling lips and i
would hit you
this time
but my hand wouldn’t sacrilege
the name of
love

the venom creeps and crawls
itching its way into my already
overstretched nerves
i puncture the pain with my pen
word release to the poison
close my eyes
and look skyward
to avoid the steady
drip
drip

ohh this was biting
I am just learning to get angry

Corazon - Thisis truly my lucky day... because I didn't make you a member of the bowling team!  lol - This is a very skillfully written free verse - I can feel your contempt and anger seething through, lunging at the bindings.  I hope you resolve your situation.
