Genre: POETRY / GeneralANGUISH & PASSION
Last night I saw
An image of compulsive obsession
A marvel of life’s disarming weaponry
So haunting, so credible, so utterly terrifying
I saw fire in her eyes,
Speaking volumes without a voice
From the warped precincts of my hermitage, I strained to hear
She said, Reach - just reach.
Out of the rank luxuriance of a liberated passion,
I thought jagged ironies -
Me, a lifetime away from virility,
Could this be love I am feeling?
About this questionable reality, I will make no fuss
But about misplaced passions and seductions, I shall speak
And the woes of my amputated member, I shall tell
But who can understand
The anguish
Of an amputated mind?
