Feelings: Can'T Endure Uneasy Desperation Poem by Margaret Alice

Cheese spread
on chunky bread
engenders painful
reveries.

Sleepless, I
thought of you
being blue.
I love laughing
analgesics; making
fun with words,
cannot determine
does it help you
too?

I was agog when
correspondents claimed
I pained by
writing much:

Do I cause you
pain also? No smile
in your replies;
the gauge to see
does laughter ever
help? I want to
cheer, can’t interpret
such neutrality.

Solid silence required?
I'd miss the stimulus -
a sacrifice on your behalf.
Sharing thoughts until
you say desist; I fear
to hurt; please order
quiet if you need
isolation for due
restoration of a
wounded soul.

Can't endure uneasy
desperation - I
want to help…
