Disturbed and Twisted Stranger

Your unique colors once flashed light’s perfection inside my dark and with ecstatic presence you erased all the gray thralls in me. In our arms, through our words and shared actions, our love merged and returned fulfilling, stirred and deserved barrier-free years. Now, you have spent months tinted as a disturbed and twisted stranger. Nowhere did we swerve, no defining change occurred yet you blurred. You will not converse or explain, but sadden me by abandoning me to nurse this coarse pain you randomly construed to be my forced companion. Ignoring me and my kiss, my pleas fall infirm, like harm-rinsed germs that you disarm without remorse or rain clouds for the ache of my storm. My amassed and treasured love depths have collapsed apt strength. Numbly, I hear the echo effects of our shared dreams retreating steps. July 30, 2018

oh gosh, Caycay, I hope this is not a "for real" thing!! You gotta call me!! I have to get off here now and attend to my car. it's getting 400 dollars of new brakes and two tires. Yesterday I ran over some sharp thing on the road and got home with a nearly flat tire. It's always something, but I am now caught up at Soup!! I really enjoyed the imagery in your poem here. It seems so realistic but you sometimes fool me with your poems!!

This is so aching and poignant, especially 'the worst of phantom pain" line, so painful when the one you love becomes a stranger-
