[hometext] => Self-biographical description from times gone by.
[bodytext] => Cutting Shame His troubles and worries, sadness and strife Took on physical form, wrapping round his spine. Tightening and twisting the constriction was agonizing. A band of indecision and doubt formed around his chest And like a tourniquet cut off the blood to his heart. The weight of the world lay firmly on his chest and he struggled for breath, Sweat pouring down his face mixing with tears. He imagined the gates of Hell opening before him, The heat burning his body Screams of the fallen deafening him. He stared at the knife lying on the table and without thinking picked it up. Without thinking the cutting began, his arms flowing red. This was no attempt at suicide but ritual self castigation The blood–letting freeing the bonds of pain. Gradually his breathing became steady The bonds of constriction releasing their hold. Looking down at his bloodied arms the feeling of relief Changed quickly to shame and he cried once again.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
