An Itch

I have shingles and no imagination right now. I found this old poem to add some humor to the pain I feel.

Susan

To love without knowing
From centuries before
Familiar is the quest anew
Point me to the door.

Senses are exploding
As the itch comes back
Passions bond together
When old love is a fact.

Familiar strangers
Never the same face
Inside is a smoking fire
Uphold this love, embrace.

The heart is an old one
The spirit knows this maze
The hands are as warm
As they were yesterday.

Suze,

That's terrible.... the pox's revenge. Hope you can get some medication to help you get through it. Missing your copious postings.

...beautiful words...remembered of a writer...welcomed back...and wished too soon wellness...shingles belong on the roof...and not ones body...I am well aware of them.

Seems that the pain season in AD is over a few of us, we should flock together in front of some wailing wall, maybe we can crash the pain against those stones.

You already know what I think about your shingle problem, plus you also know what I think of your poetry . . . Hate the first . . . Love the second . . . Get well quicker than quick . . .

I had them once and were caused by intense pain from a dentist who did not know his trade and they broke out on one side of my body,
Love the poem and happy to see you back but not in this painful condition. It will run its course and you'll feel fine again.

Ouch! That's gotta hurt Susan. Had those some years ago. Don't remember it too well except that the pain was awful. Hope you're feeling better soon my friend. A very fine write indeed. God bless.
