A Plate Of Pain

I wrote to you, last week
About pain
Not yours, nor mine
But ours
For it is best served
In small dishes
And shared
Garnished
With feelings
Crowned with emotions
And accompanied
By a salted sauce
Of tears

When the pain was over
We smiled
And shared
A rich dessert
Of laughter

All washed down
With a bottle of hope
A cup of love
And a sorbet of dreams

He is currently writing poetry of a different kind

I've no complaints about this new method as I'm the beneficiary

He can throw a quatrain together fairly handy though eh?

Glad you are here posting a little again Rob, it's nice to have poetry that I doesn't 'do my head in' to read

When the pain if shared, in dishes small or big - doesn't matter, the hurt is soon over. And then the sequel follows(Part 2), which I admired so much. Thank you, dear poet!
