But why do I fear thee




But why do I fear thee

When we took no oaths
save the silent stares of

'love you, forever'

and

'never forget me'

between moonlight and bedclothes.


Your decaying body reuniting with my decaying soul
What a glow of darkness, wisdom and unforbidden love.


My shrink showed me this.
It's from last week's session.

*tape rolls*because you're like an old scab that I obsessively pick at;
the barred windows in my room turned out to be a great idea because you're like the dead kitten buried in the garden,
a grave which I never visit because I'm afraid I'd dig it up and cradle it in my arms because I still love y*tape ends*

He doubled my medication after that.

But then I read, clearer now,
My fear is
Misery

Clearer
By the glow of dark.

Take that, quentin tarantino!

    there's something about this lines which i like

    though the tension build up on it isn't
    well though the emotion steams up but after
    comes again

    of that civility-stiff thing that i've read in one your writes

    mmm para na naman itong indie film
    very sensual

    maybe it's apt to say, take that quentin tarantino

    galing

    i'm loving sensual side

    this is a very amazing piece, i dont quite see where you were going with the terintino remark, but none the less the poem itsself is exquisite. i love the "tape rolls, and tape ends" thing you did. very interesting... your imagery is very well done, and your wording was used in great context very nice . Ill have to check out some more of your works.

    Well, no one seems to be commenting so... I liked it. Which Tarantino film were you thinking of? Did you intend to create almost the headpiece of a grave with your words? Look, it's 4.31am here in the UK and I really need to get some shut-eye. Too tired to critique, sorry...
