an itch,

nothing more than a feeling
one could not put finger upon
     ..... yet a feeling nevertheless

I tempted it
scratched its surface
with questions of origin and depth
     ..... it began to burn

I tried to soothe it
with calming words but
could not hold my tongue

     the wet lip of anticipation
      only grew stronger

   every passing moment ....
     every impossible thought ....
       every sorrowed beat .....

What have I done?
  ... if I have sored you, know it not meant to be pained
  ... if I took something not meant to be mine, know
      that I willingly return it with interests unbound

What have I done?
  ..... What have I not found?

In rhythms to a rise the days shall follow ... each Yesterday, each Tomorrow.   -  Ct/05

Maybe it is human nature to prod at things we sometimes should leave alone?  It seems like it because I sure am guilty of it at times.

This is good.  I am really enjoying your poetry and saving it in my Library as I read.
