Scarred And Renewing
they punched holes for so long
there’s no place left to scar.
a spiritual representation,
unmarried,
vexes them because
beauty truly is not ugly as they seem.
layers form, chins double
and wrinkle with warts sprouting
everlasting hair; depigmenting,
scaling a yellow forehead
furrowing rivers of regret that they
never passionately held love,
never inhale warm aroma
of tender-scented skin,
lather the healing surface of you, who
could have been a friend, alone
unto a bountiful world, had
self-respect, dignity, honesty
to lie beside and crawl beneath the dark.
scurry to your hole in the ground.
I’ll lay with the dutiful ants
in damp green to wait out
another golden arrival,
peacefully dying and renewing.

This is why I'm the king of run-on-sentences, which I fondly refer to as breathless poetry, because you cannot come up for air as you read...aloud.
It's a poem for those haters who judge because they feel unloved because they have no self-respect for themselves or others.
