#surgery poems on Hello Poetry

Christina Philipe Jun 2016

My mind bursts in fear
Upcoming electrifying storm of needles and terrifying tools
... whatever that comes next...
I don't care if it will be fast and simple.
It's MY body, MY pain.
If I must sign for it, it should be my choice!
My cloudy eyes seek only one thing on the death's menu...
General anaesthesia please.
Hospitals... HELL in disguise.

Countdown to hell

The Rebirth

as quick as it began
it ended
i left for sure
a blackness unlike the dark
it was a spacious energy of pure
mountain tops overlooking
valleys and rivers and seas
i stood at the edge at the highest point
and breathed in deep
i exhaled
and felt my wings
looking down there wasn't fear
only peace
i sat and smiled
i wasn't alone
but it was me
and i was free

pushed back into my being
with tubes and wires and machines
i heard the rain
i heard the thunder
and knew God let it be
a new day
a new life
a rebirth of all things

Am I Pretty Enough?

I can hear it slicing through my brain,
like a sharp, stray tune of imperfect melody.
It tampers with desolate whimpers
A cry for attention
My contoured skin is peeled away
by those words

"Never will I be,
Pretty."

If I could just cut it off
like excess skin
like layers of flabby fats

If there's a liposuction
for dark thoughts
If I can tuck it
away from my tummy

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

A poem I wrote for a play

Healing Balm of Gilead

Your gracious Light extends
You have Healed my brokenness
On You I can depend
You touched my pain with Loving Hands
Anointing hurts and woes
It's like a warm embrace and kiss
And Love that OVERFLOWS!
Thank you for what You have done
The Healing You have wrought
This kind of Restoration
Can't be obtained or bought
I need no Hydrocodone
I have no need for pills
I have my Balm of Gilead

And I ALWAYS WILL!

I can scarcely believe this!
I had two broken molars extracted
yesterday. Infection in my jaw...
... and woke up this morning... NO PAIN!

I DON'T EVEN NEED THE PAIN MEDS!!!

The Healing Balm of Gilead is the Touch
of Jesus Christ Himself! He came to me
yesterday before the surgery like a thought
in my mind. He said if I was brave and
went through with the surgery courageously he would BLESS ME. I had NO idea what form that blessing would take. NOW I KNOW! I called the surgery office to let them know about the numbness, I thought it was unusual.
The dental assistant said it was a speed up of the healing process. She had no explanation for it! BUT I KNOW!

Thank you all for your patience with me.
I have read very little of late.
God willing I WILL TODAY!

I Will Never Leave You

All I can do is sit here,
While you're in the operating room.
Thinking about our love,
Hoping you'll be out soon.

I have no idea why or how,
This happened has to you.
Why your appendix chose now,
I haven't got a clue.

Just know that I am waiting here,
In this waiting room,
Waiting for you to be safe and well,
To bring you back home soon.

I hope you know that we are bound,
By an unbreakable force.
I will be by your side through this,
To help you get back on your horse.

I stayed with you here overnight,
And I will not leave you now.
You will never be alone in pain,
Do you know how?

I will never leave your side,
Even if it means death or life.
I want you to know that I love you,
And I will help you overcome your strife :-)

I wrote this about my fiance who went in for an emergency appendectomy last night. I wrote this for him for when he got out of the operating room. I told him I would never leave his side and this was my way of showing him.

A Maniacs Surgery

Let's see what you've got inside,
I rip you up, open wide!
Let's do some digging, fingers deep within
You think I'm done? Let's begin!

joyeux anniversaire

my throat still burns when 11:30 comes around
it gets late
and i think about the way you used to hold me
the way you saved pet names for goodnight
the way it was always sweetheart
(it didn't occur to me until now that you
probably called her that as well)
the way your pain meds would knock you out for hours
and i'd watch you sleep and snuggle up with your dog
and i'd wish i could help

the day you went into surgery
my throat stayed closed like this
but that all worked out fine, didn't it?
i was a bigger problem than a broken shoulder

It's been almost a year and I haven't forgotten.
