Extant

Yet again, today
You touched that
place - sore and hurting -
There. Where it never healed.

An ache, verified, mollified
And subdued.
It lay, awaiting your
Touch. Begging.

And so, it had to be.
Right?
Gratified now, that it
Has been acknowledged
It reigns.
Supreme. It's flow uninterrupted.

And I?
Begging.
To be mollified.

Did you say?
Pain
Is pleasure?

  3. Anger, loyalty, repercussion, pain. There is soo much in this particular production that it's almost overwhelming in intensity, yet with the cold calm of the enraged. It spans a width of extremeties in emotion, definitely a pick from your best.

  5. Hi Usha,
    This is very profound and begs for a lot to be read between the lines.
    On a lighter note, if it is hurting and never healed, it is time to see a doctor :-)
    Cheers,
