Love-making is analgesia
and lovers like pills
and pain-killers.
Sometimes
Friendship is
the deepest part
of companionship
of which the outward sign
is touch
Sometimes
Love hurts until
it breaks us,
but friendship
mends and heals...
Masking our vulnerability,
we overdose on dark intimacy,
avoiding the light in which
honesty prevails.
But healing love
looks,
sees,
understands
and respects.
Brings relief always
and is pain-free never.

I have to agree with Ace, most of all...you ARE in overdrive, girl.
What a profound piece of penning!
"Brings relief always...and is pain-free never."
I absolutely love that line!
you pen is in overdrive and had delivered a powerful poem on the risk of redeeming true friendship ... it isn't pain free for all concerned ... i remember the adage, "confront a friend with 'himself' and you'll often create an enemy" ...
Kate even someone with your acumen,has had the experience enough to write this brilliant poem. Imagine what it's like for those with less smarts;-)!...
Dearest Kate,
You write with such wisdom and insight. It can only come from a heart that has experienced pain and grown through it. You are a beautiful feeling human being.
But healing love
looks,

and respects.
