This the first time that I've read of "pain and suffering" from you. I hope that it is temporary.
I find that when I am reading others' work or working on my own, hours go by without feeling any pain or irritation at all. It is only when I stop focusing and working to reflect, that I suddenly find pain coming back in the usual places that disappeared while I was working. No prayers needed.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
