Entwined in you

Golden strokes in subtle shadows,
Calm Santana gives tangy edge,
Distractions jar if you let them,
Younger blood makes louder murmurs,
Happy murmurs despite your back-brushed minds,
Smiling is the key to being alive, 
And in touch with your tingling,
Ghost memories of a hot cup of tea,
Irritating when you reach and tap air,
My fingers' shock is throat’s irritation,
And thoughts are wandering like fingertips, 
Stroking a worn black keyboard,
I am in love and feeling alive is rock perquisite,
Else all that exists is shadow, the hint of the idea of love,
I sent love to Wales by tracks,
And earth and smiles and greed,
It’s absence is like a hole in my ribs,
A chunk removed and gone,
Numbed to pain by being asleep, inside I have closed eyes,
I’d rather feel pain and weep,
For she deserves my tears,
Salt and water, life on cheek,
A tribute to real love,
Of something so entwined in me,
It rips when it’s let go,
And that can be agony, if you let it,
I hope I will for that is tribute to love,
I’ll re-knit myself in a week,
But please let me have the self,
To count the hours till I am warm,
And loved again.

"I'll re-knit myself in a week"---Brilliant line!

I really enjoyed this read...lots of feels, clever plays on words, great word choice...I could feel the angst, but it wasn't overdone or flowery, more real, I suppose, than what I'm used to reading. Nicely done!
