Sweated

With each step I take gingerly
trying to buffer the ache
that rises to the surface
from soiled thoughts,
from those never to meet up with me
as I count the days numbering four,
working towards doubling that
and become a champion of my own records.

Today's heat enducement
has brought me to my knees,
lain me down to sleep off whatever it is
the mind does not wish to connect,
leaving me open to the negative air that surrounds.

Not even the coolness of satin sheets
can escape the twists and turns
that mock me as the pain continues
to rock me in a rhythm no lullaby can match.

But time passes, and this day is still here
glistening me still, in a sweat that knows no coolness
to pleasure me... and I, I invite that storm
to  turn  my way, rain on this protest of a parade
that this day has turned into.

Bring the force of its winds to whip up a swirl
to envelop me and take away the dampness
that leaves me so limp...

" count the days numbering four,

We just walk through the pain.

Hugs.
