I feel like shiatsu, the sounds of spit.
The hour’s slow; my ego grows
To sooth myself (I lose myself)
Without a glance of hesitation.

Oh dear god, my savior odd.
I try to love, my heart above
Without one thought, my all for naught
From the painful-sting, disdain.

Simple is’t no’, that she will go
To make a prayer, beginning layer
The broken stair; with blackened hair
Where the nighttime never leaves you.

The climax: their obvious glair.
She looks with eyes, without surprise.
I look with hands; my eyes are sans
And my heart is broken to her.

Matthew,

   Your poetry is stunning!  It has a voice of its own that sings loudly and clearly.  As to "I feel not well", I hope the new year brings good things.

Ladies, thank you for your warm coments. they are comforting, though my situation is rather depressing. it sturrs my butterflies and makes me sad and feeling hopeless. love is a sad thing when it doesn't go both ways.
