We had a fight in our home and I wrote this at that time.


Aroma Therapy..

Raining on me like cats and dogs
Her words slither into me like swords
My life oozes out in every pore
I stand there numb with blood and gore

Snaking into my nerves is a pain
Reaching the instinctive depths of my brain
My animal self takes over
Logic and Love goes under cover

Word for a Word and Shout for a Shout
Time keeps slipping in the emotional bout
Trying to wound her in her core
I pour my energies; mind becomes sore

Bloody wounds all over the mind
Gnarling and Panting, like dogs we find
No solution in sight, fore or hind
Why do I need to go through this grind..?

*******

Air becomes still; Noise recedes around
Murmurs go off; Silence surrounds
Receivers turned off or tuned out of band
Glass walls rise making us islands

There, as we cross each other's fences
Aroma of hers strike my senses
My mind switches context to a different day
I cannot keep myself at bay

I touch her shoulders, full of emotion
Touch is her trigger for tele-portation
We get beamed up from our wars
Glass wall shatters; We count the Stars!

You described the fight or flight syndrome of relationships so well, I had a fight in my own home today with a man I love, but he is my son, so I didn't get to make up!lol It is the aroma of love that lifts you both, my boy is working all night without a decent meal, so he will have plenty to think about and I am not throwing him out, but he is paying for repairs and will seek new accommodation with his first wage packet, that too is love.


Great write, just what I needed.
