Venomous Visitor
It crawled, into my fractured thoughts
Silently, polluting my environ
It strangled, all affection in me
Left me poisoned and broken
My hands shakingย for months on end
As venom, coursed its way through my strength
Tearing my faith apart
Bleedingย out my heart
Leaving me afraid, bedridden
While all the time, I felt like crying
I found myself unable
To swat it away,
For it was truly my first
Real friend,
Creating a funeral pyre
Of my previous life
And slowing down time
Leaving me with nothing
But time, to think, to heal
And to unveil the false faรงade
Presented to us all, as God's appeal
This venomous visitor
Had brought me friendship's truth
The proof, that living fast and unthinkingly
Allows for no time, to see
That God is inside you
Inside me
And in sharing our Love
Freely,
Time slows, and evil glows
Revealing godliness,
Even when it approaches you
As a venomous,
Visitor...

Tony a very awe inspiring write
Thanx so much DARKLY!!....... always a pleasure to have your ink lighting up my page sista girl!!......... smiles........T xo.ย ย ย ?
The "venomous visitor" can be a blessing in disguised....It has opened your eyes to so many things you were obviously blind to...a powerful metaphoric one.
Lots of love
Yay!!.Thanx ROSE!!.....I was hoping you'd catch this one...... your interpretation was spot on......I was writing on how my illness changed my entire life for the better ........so happy to know you're out there somewhere....... and these words reached your mind's eye....... because it's not how you handle being knocked down....... it's all aboutย how you handle getting back up again........thanx again for this girlfriend!!....... stay cool!!....... smiles.......T xo.ย ?

Hi Tony Iย think ย your write is saying How your illness affected you and through all thatย
pain you kept faith you found love with Cherieย
and your life was turned around,ย (my interpretation)
I think pain sometimes can make us depressed we feel like giving up.
and being alone and in painย is even worse
Someone who is there for you who loves youย encouragesย and is helpful is God sent
just my thoughts :-)
Great write Love n hugs Debs xo

Yes DEBS!!.....thanx for this!!...... you're right about it all...... especially the depression that comes along with chronic pain..... it's so easy to buy into the depression because chronic pain stays uppermost in your mind no matter what remedy you attempt........ you're always trying to find ways to be comfortable...... and often that means cutting yourself off from everything and everyone........ once that happens........ suicide becomes part of the equation...... fortunately for me......I found COSMO, which led to CHERIE....... which has led to finding the best doctors in the country......... We were just talking about you last night...... about how much you TRULY appreciate poetry........ you're a pearl among this bed of partially empty oysters!! LOL!!.........thanx again for reading & understanding girlfriend ~ you're an inspiration!!...... LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo.ย ?
My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Ah, yes, but you never tasted of the forbidden fruit, so this venomous visitor's vernacular fell upon an unwilling soul. ย A soul that eschewed temptation for the love of his true Lord. ย And now, rescued from the assiduous asps aspirations, the venomous visitor slinks away in defeat, while your dear Lord celebrates another gift of his creation.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
xox Larry
LOL! Thanx LARRY!!...... sometimes you totally crack me up with your comments..'..but I do so appreciate them my friend..... some awesome alliteration in this comment bro!!...... you're the coolest!!....... smiles.......T xo.ย ?
Hi Tony,
I have my own version of "Boyle's Law", called "Larry's Law". ย It is, the volume of wine ingested is directly proportional to the amount of alliterative use.

Hi Tony, well what can i say, well this is another masterpiece, your work is great and your zest for life shines through in all that you write. sometimes we are given a burden as a test of faith. sometimes we take life for granted and it;s not until we become ill we really appreciate what life actually is. great writeย
cheers jeff
Hey Thanx so much JEFF!!!..... and you're right...... the world does look different when you have a serious illness.'.... and you have so much more time to consider the ramifications of your life and its ramifications....... appreciate that you took time with this my friendย !!......LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo. ?
