For a moment

For a moment,
I had forgotten what is,
wrapped warm in sweet release,
glowing from the all of you---
until my constant companion
decided I felt too free
and with one flick
brought me back to my knees
reality white hot
burning grinding
and I am suddenly in the arms
of my constant companion.
Pain is a paint scraper
that will take you down to bare wood,
and he doesn’t mind
if I dance with you
because he knows
his place in my life.
I didn’t really get to dreaming
that you and I could ever be more
than a moment beyond the hurting void,
and you do not wear my skin
so you will never know what I feel,
but when I woke
in the arms of wracking pain
I did mental math
and cursed myself again
for not understanding what you meant
about space and distance.
Don’t worry my love---
I am NEVER alone.
My constant companion sees to that.
And he’s not much of a lover---
but he will never leave me
no matter how hard I beg or cry....

I'm beginning to think you are ME. smiling a wry smile---somehow I don't think that this is what is meant by "living for the moment"--you may have inspired me to write my slant on this---um, if ya don't mind?

You can't write this good all the time, can you?

I am happy to see the writers block has disolved away to nothing.

Again, great!

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".
