From Pain to Pleasure

The pain that  rises in my chest is so intense
from a heart beating too fast in anticipation
anxiety building a wall of denial
never wanting to believe, never wanting to know
that what was in total, is now but shredded pieces
no longer a puzzle to be salvaged, but worn and jagged
not fit to come together, as a whole again.

The pain that reigns upon and tears my body so,
is mysting the dreams of yesterday,
blending a drink of todays and tomorrows,
clouding, fogging the present,
hoping a gentle hand will come, to walk me through the haze
that obscures, shrouds me in such a puzzling way,
that I carry this burden heavily on my heart.

The pain that catches my breath, comes from thoughts
standing in my shadow, pressing
following my every movement,
listening to the silence that surrounds me...
the vibrations, a softness heard
a whispering, that rocks me to sleep each night
and kisses me awake each morning.

The pain seen through eyes that are glossed by tears
is seeking truth, a ray of light, of hope, to guide the way
a glimmer of softened candlight, to warm the cold
to dry the flow each night, when dark settles in
to drift into a time when all hurt shall cease...
and knowledge shall replace the pain
with pleasure once again.
