[poem] Tϕuϛӈ Ψθu ԃ϶ἐϸ wiђin

[outori]

So well. Finally I was able to write another poem. I know I just posted one, but I thought yeah why not post them both. I wrote the other one a few weeks back. This one is from today.

ζϕὖϛӈ Ψθμ ԃ϶ἐϸ ϖΐђῐῃ

(03. February 2008)

I want to touch you deep within
Without a touch, where do I begin
With words that o will never reach
How feebly can I fix that breach

Cherry-blossoms tumble down
Surround me like an evening gown
Stick to tears that haven’t dried
And hide the hints of that I cried

I put my palms to my dewy face
Trace the tears and seek the place
where once I saw you far ahead
Find only flowers, withered, dead.

Wrinkled fingers around my neck
Tips of digits find the cracks
Scratch and rip and tear away
what you will never touch or flay.

Please hurt me, scar me, claw me, please
I want to find a flaw, increase
the pain the ache the grief the twinge
Just leave me broken, hurt and cringed.

I need the touch I’ll never feel
Found a love that makes me reel
Both combined rip out my heart
And scorch my soul, tear it apart.

I try to find one thing disliked
But every time I find I’m psyched
And love you more with every word
You put into my ears un-heard.

And all that ever reaches out from me
Are ghostly thoughts that cannot see
They’ll never touch the truth, your heart
Instead to me return the dismal darts.
