Health Poems (230)

I keep my feelings boarded up,
Behind doors nailed,
Blocked,
Screwed shut,
Down corridors,
Cold and black,
See people steal pieces,
And don't give them back,
My hearts missing parts,
Because of that,
Now I constanty guard
The rest from attack...

I hear in the distance
You ask me what
can i do for you
and you mean it too.
All the nurses and
PCT try to make me
feel better every
step of the day.
Trying to make the
person i was before
this procedure.
It makes me feel
all the RN and PCT
really care for
their patient and
mean everything they
do to make you better.
They want you to
know the staff is
there for you.
All you need to do
is ask them for
what you need and
they will try to
fill your order.

As my world falls
down around me and
my heart breaks
from the wait.
I gasp to take a
breathe but no air
do i receive.
Gasping for my life
receiving for my
foothold just
hoping to last
another hour
another day
another week
BEGGING
PLEADING
Lord just
a little longer.

We're moving, slowly with the times
Cabbage is turning into bok shoy
Tomato sauce is accompanied by soy sauce
Coffee to black tea to green tea
Twenty years ago I would not have thought it possible
Although I'm talking about Asian ways
It's really a movement that's come about through our melting pot.

Will I go down in the annals of history?
I know not, to myself, I remain a mystery
For who would ever long remember me
When I myself cannot even recall or see

I can only guess at what I used to be like
When I was young did I smile on my bike?
In my youth did I have a wondrous dream?
Now I can only sit and hear my scream

Were you there, did you give me your affection?
I cannot dwell, my mind has no reflection
I can only recall life in glimpses and snatches
I snuff it out like all the dead matches

At least I cannot pay for all my sin
For I do not know where it did begin
For I am trapped in a shell with no meaning
I can only stare wide eyed at the empty ceiling

My body is strong but my memory is weak
But I am aware that my future lies bleak
Some say mental blindness is a trick of light
But I seek the switch of hope and fight

I smile simply to return your pleasing grace
You seem kind even if I do not recognise your face
My mind does not see you so I have no resent
Did you come today or were you a stranger sent

We’ve come a long way since the “good old days”,
With advancements in science in various ways.
There’s one in plain sight for you and for me,
I’m talking about laser eye surgery.
The most common method is the one they call LASIK,
But the way it’s performed makes it seem like it’s basic.
I’ll tell you right now of some great benefits,
I would tell you them all, but the time won’t permit.
So please quiet down and listen to me,
I’ll list out the pros and the cons three by three.
You’ll no longer need a prescription for eyes,
You’ll only wear glasses when you need a disguise.
It takes almost no time for you to recover
Which leaves ample time to help out your mother!
The third one I speak of would be great for the masses,
For there’d be a lot less lost/broken glasses!
“So what are the cons” you might ask of me,
Well let’s take a look and maybe we’ll see.
You might feel discomfort for a couple of days,
Or a tad sight distortion by a bit of a haze.
Should you choose to accept this and make your decision,
Your eyes can get dry, thus affecting your vision!
And last but not least I will talk of expense,
It costs lots of money, with no recompense.
After weighing the pros and the cons you have seen,
Will you be quite averse, or shell out the green?
I wonder what all of your choices will be,
As to whether you choose laser eye surgery.

I survive the worst and blew it all away,
for i lived when they thought i was to die.
i fought against all odds, and strggled for my life.
while they just stood back and watched as though there was no use.
i showed them not everything ends this way.
as i'm here today.

I can see she looks at me strangely
Something here is not right
My Darling wife, the love of my life
Might not be who I think she is

Yesterday I'm sure she was
The one I thought she was
But today, what can I say
I think they switched her round

She looks and talks the same
She acts and walks the same
Why hell, she even smells the same
Yet there is something in those eyes

Though the body looks just the same
I'm sure it's not my Darling
I don't know why they switched her round
There has to be a reason

For now I will play their game
I'll not let on I know it
Sometime soon they will slip up
And then I will have caught them

Darkly, dimly in your mind
I can read the thoughts that haunt you
Terrors that wake you in the night
And leave your sheets asoaking

Your legs tremble as you run in sleep
To escape those terrors in your mind
Yet still they bounce around in there
And peace they will not give you

If I had powers of super kind
Your mind then I could enter
Fight your demons, win the battle
And give you peace forever

You make me laugh
then again you
make me think
that being
overweight is
not a sin.
You look at me
and say your
not as heavy
as you seem
to think you
are no belly
in the way for
y o u.
Just a sense
of humor that
does shield
you from the
pain of not
fitting in
because if you
could you
would count
it a win.
