cephalalgia...

May I weld all those wires in your brain
So they can’t shock you with the pain?
Let me carve those shards from your skull
So they can’t stab forth anymore.

I will return to school if I must
And major in whatever would help.
Patience, my dear.
The Doctor’s en route.
I shall tend to your heart and your health.

If that takes too long,
I might take up with a trade.
Train to restructure a house.
The apprentice assembles
A home that can tremble
And quake without making a sound.

I would do anything to help you find peace.
I’d travel the world for the cure.
I’d walk for a thousand miles a week
If it meant such solace was ensured.

But I fear I would faint
Before I found such a sage
Who’d formulate
A salve for your pains.

Though I’d give my left limb
To alleviate what ails you,
My dismemberment
Would likely still fail, too.

So, I’ll simply hold you
Till my arm falls asleep
Or if it falls off all the same.
There’s not much more
But I’ll do all I can
And pray that perhaps it passes with the day.

Life is a wild journey. Right or wrong? Hard to decide. Education is always the best. I liked how you twist the thoughts leading to the strong ending. Thank you Dennis for sharing the amazing poetry.

Wow this is such a creative scintillating poem how you express in a poetically genius style of expression gahh you are so imaginative. I ESP admired the dismemberment stanza and the stanza where you say you will major in sth just to remove the person's ailment and distress. Wow just wow!! Kudos.
