      In that echo,
      of laughter and light,
      where staggering hurt
      meets time's discovery,
      I found you.

      In amidst the fleeting memories,
      of floating feeling
      and reminiscence,
      I found you.

      In the darkest spot,
      so wounded and seething
      within my heart.
      Within the chaos
      of surrounding fear.
      Within the splendor
      of secure life.
      Where safety meets the eye
      and love, the tongue.
      I found you.

      Oh fiendish love,
      wretched desire.
      I purge thee
      through my very pours.
      And give you life
      where my heart and soul
      would long
      to have you bleed away.

      I give you voice and purpose
      where love should defy
      thy wicked rage.

      May God lay temperance
      upon this voice,
      upon these hands
      so tainted red with this disease.

      I found you,
      amid the daisies of my dreams.
      And so clearly
      did my perception grow
      to meet
      the deceiving eye
      of your nature.

      How fondly I remember,
      when love was love,
      and I was unknowing......

Pain seems pretty evident here. Well...I hope you're dealin' fine. Great poem, very descriptive. Liked it.

I don't know if today is a good day, or if yesterday was, or if tomorrow will be, but I'd like to think so.
