The Gullet of Life
Throat of silences kept;
seeps into a well of swallowed thoughts…
Perceptions disfigured;
by ill born scars…
The knavery seems to be
unfolded permanence;
Looking into a kaleidoscope
of unending transgressions…
Those bruised abrasions
seep of sorrows valley;
The fortress of secrets
buried by briars memory…
Dredging in the anchorage
of molted needs…the stomach swells
to gasp for all those lost breadths…
But inside the torment of yesterday,
Those thoughts
that foresight could never know;
held within shadows of an evocation;
Where retrospect lurks like a haunting villain;
Always there to show
the impoverishments of choice;
To wail the force of condemnations
upon cold stones;
To further burden the privations of the lost
and dying soul…
Yes ...the gallows of his throat
…the gullet of life,
seeps into a well of swallowed thoughts;
Those very perceptions
from the depths of his despair…

This is weighty, meaningful and very serious writing.
With regard to abusers, there's no room for them on AD and they are never welcome.
With you all the way, Woman!

I haven't been around for awhile and I don't know if I'll ever catch up but your poem had me going in two directions. The first was your subject paying a price for being abusive and the second was of a military nature.(the scars of war)Hopefully not old wounds unable to heal. Peace, Blessings & Friendship Always, Paul.
